Does your Diesel Bowser meet industry standards?

The end is in sight for old diesel bowsers − on May 9th 2019 a fifteen year transition period comes to an end, meaning bowsers manufactured prior to May 2004 are no longer treated as interme¬diate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transport of dangerous goods (including diesel and gas oil) on the highway.


This transitional period was originally put in place to allow the industry time to adapt to new ‘ADR’ regulations. ADR is a French acronym which stands¬ for Accord Dangereux Routier, essentially a set of regulations governing the transport of dangerous goods by road.

The key point to note is that the old bowsers were previously considered as IBCs (provided they met certain basic requirements), but from May 10th 2019 this will no longer be the case, meaning these bowsers can no longer be used to transport fuel on the highway and need to be replaced with ADR compliant IBCs.

For a limited period Fuel Proof will be offering a scrappage scheme for non-compliant bowsers.
