Switching to HVO fuel is quick and easy because HVO is a “drop-in” replacement for regular diesel. No tank or vehicle modifications required or change in storage infrastructure.
Here’s how the process works:
- Contact Us – Simply give us a call or send an enquiry. We’ll discuss your current setup and confirm compatibility (almost all diesel engines and generators can run on HVO without any issues).
- Arrange Supply – We’ll organise a delivery that suits your schedule. HVO can be delivered directly into your existing diesel tanks, or into a new dedicated tank if you prefer.
- Begin Using HVO – You can either switch entirely to HVO or gradually introduce it by mixing it with your current diesel stock at any ratio.
- Ongoing Support – Our team will provide any technical advice you need and support you in tracking your carbon savings, helping you demonstrate your environmental impact.
It’s really that simple to start reducing your carbon footprint by up to 90%!

The fuel is produced through a hydrotreating process, which involves high pressure and temperature to convert the raw materials into a high-quality, clean-burning diesel alternative. This is a complex hydrotreatment process, which involves two main steps: hydrogenation and hydrocracking.
- Hydrogenation adds hydrogen to sustainable raw materials, such as waste oils and fats, removing oxygen from the molecules and converting them into a cleaner, more stable fuel.
- Hydrocracking breaks down large molecular chains into smaller ones, helping HVO to mimic the chemical structure of traditional diesel.
These processes result in a paraffinic hydrocarbon chain that is chemically very similar to fossil diesel but with significantly improved performance characteristics.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a fossil-free, FAME-free renewable diesel alternative. It is made from sustainable raw materials, such as used cooking oils and animal fats, making it an environmentally responsible fuel source. Ford Fuels HVO is virgin palm oil-free, ensuring that no rainforests are impacted in its production.
