Automotive Diesel Fuel 10 ppm & 50 ppm Sulphur · EN 590 Euro 5 / Euro 4 Compliant

Diesel EN 590

FSiix Resources sources and trades Diesel EN 590, a hydrotreated automotive gas oil refined from the middle-distillate fraction of crude petroleum and desulphurized by catalytic hydrodesulphurization to meet the European automotive diesel standard. Available in both 10 ppm (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel, Euro 5) and 50 ppm (Euro 4) sulphur grades, our EN 590 is refinery-direct and quality-certified for cetane number, density, viscosity, and cold-flow performance, and is supplied worldwide in drums, flexitanks, ISO tank containers, and bulk tanker or vessel consignments.

OVERVIEW

Refinery-Direct Automotive Diesel, Two Certified Sulphur Grades

FSiix's diesel programme is built on refinery-direct sourcing of Diesel EN 590, the European standard for automotive gas oil used in compression-ignition road vehicles. The finished fuel is drawn from the middle-distillate cut of crude petroleum and passed through catalytic hydrodesulphurization, a hydrotreating process that strips sulphur compounds from the distillate to bring the finished fuel within its specified sulphur band.

FSiix trades both sulphur grades recognised under EN 590: 10 ppm Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (Euro 5, the current EU on-road standard) and 50 ppm Low Sulphur Diesel (Euro 4), the latter widely specified across non-EU markets and off-road applications. Every consignment is certified against EN 590 for cetane number, density, viscosity, flash point, and cold-flow properties, and moves from refinery to port under continuous quality-controlled handling.

HOW IT'S PRODUCED

From Crude Middle Distillate to Certified EN 590 Diesel

FSiix's diesel supply runs under continuous refinery quality control, from atmospheric distillation through catalytic desulphurization to certified, export-ready fuel.

01 — FEED PREPARATION

Atmospheric Distillation

Crude petroleum is separated by atmospheric distillation, drawing off the middle-distillate (gas oil) fraction that forms the base feedstock for automotive diesel, distinct from the lighter naphtha and heavier residue cuts.

02 — HYDRODESULPHURIZATION

Catalytic Sulphur Removal

The gas oil fraction is hydrotreated over a catalyst bed under heat and hydrogen pressure, converting sulphur compounds to hydrogen sulphide for removal. Process severity is set to hold the finished fuel within the 10 ppm or 50 ppm sulphur band, depending on the ordered grade.

03 — QUALITY CONTROL & DISPATCH

Batch Testing & Certified Loading

Every batch is tested against EN ISO 5165, 3675, 20846, 3104, and 2719 before release, then loaded into ISO tank containers, flexitanks, steel drums, or bulk tanker and vessel consignments for onward shipment.

WHY SOURCE THROUGH FSIIX

Three Pillars That Distinguish Our Diesel

Certified Sulphur Grades

Continuous batch testing against EN ISO 20846 and 20884 confirms every shipment falls within its ordered 10 ppm or 50 ppm sulphur band, so buyers get the exact grade they specify.

Refinery-Direct Supply Chain

Sourcing straight from refinery hydrotreating units, without intermediary blending, preserves cetane number, density, and cold-flow properties within specification from refinery gate to destination.

Flexible Global Logistics

A choice of ISO tank containers, flexitanks, steel drums, or bulk tanker and vessel loading lets customers receive diesel in whatever format suits their site, volume, and destination port.

MARKET CONTEXT

A Sulphur-Graded, Freight-Sensitive Market

Global diesel demand tracks road transport, power generation, and industrial activity, with the 10 ppm ULSD grade the default specification across the EU and an expanding share of emerging markets, while 50 ppm remains widely traded across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

PRICING IS QUOTED, NOT LISTED

Diesel pricing tracks Platts gasoil and ULSD FOB references, moves with crude feedstock costs, refining margins, and freight, and varies by sulphur grade, packing format, and destination, so we don't publish a static reference price here — anything printed on a page would likely be stale within hours.
