The State exceptionally authorizes the sale of summer diesel until November 15

The State will exceptionally authorize fuel distributors to sell summer quality diesel until November 15, due to supply difficulties linked to the situation in the Middle East, according to a decree published Tuesday in the Official Journal. “Distributors are authorized, exceptionally, to hold for sale and market diesel whose filterability limit temperature (TLF) is 0°C maximum instead of -15°C maximum after November 1, 2026,” it is written in this decree. The government explains its decision by “the exceptional supply difficulties encountered in view of the international situation in the Middle East”.

Normally, distributors are required to market so-called “winter” diesel resistant to lower temperatures from November 1. The text thus makes it possible to postpone this obligation by two weeks while maintaining summer diesel on the market. The beneficiaries of this measure must, however, assume “full responsibility for any problem that may arise during the use of this diesel” and inform their customers of the risks of fuel freezing in areas subject to early frost, particularly in mountainous regions, adds the text.
