Marked Diesel Delivery in the Lower Mainland
Marked Diesel is a normal grade diesel that has red dye in it. This dye comes with a discount on Motor Fuel taxes because the product can not be used on the road. This product is used widely in the construction industry but can be used by farmers, condominiums and other authorized users.

What You Need to Know Before You Request a Delivery
IMPORTANT If you are a first time customer, you will need you to fill out a FIN 430. Please have a completed FIN 430 ready for our delivery driver. If our accounting staff does not have a completed FIN 430 on hand when they receive a delivery slip, we have no choice but to charge your company for clear diesel. If you are exempt, but have not completed the paperwork, you will have to claim the difference in fuel taxes from the Ministry of Finance. We understand that this may be inconvenient but we are inflexible on this matter, if the paperwork is not present, we cannot process a marked fuel sale. You can download a copy of the FIN 430 here.
