RESOURCES / FUELING OPTIONS

Choosing how to fuel
your operation

Compare direct fueling and tank replenishment, then choose a delivery frequency that fits your equipment, vehicles and work.

Practical planning guide

START WITH WHERE FUEL GOES

Two receiving setups, different planning needs

The product, receiving setup and delivery frequency are separate choices. An operation may use more than one setup across its sites.

Direct equipment or vehicle fueling

Fuel goes into individual units where they are parked and accessible.

Consider it for: Construction machinery, generators or fleet vehicles grouped at a jobsite or operating yard.
Planning depends on: Unit count, products, parking locations, access and when the equipment or vehicles are available.
Question to answer: Will all the units needing fuel be present during the receiving window?

Bulk tank replenishment

Fuel goes into a receiving tank that supplies the operation.

Consider it for: A jobsite, yard or facility already using a suitable receiving tank.
Planning depends on: Tank capacity, current level, product, requested quantity and access to the fill point.
Question to answer: Who will check tank levels and communicate when the replenishment requirement changes?

This comparison assumes an existing receiving setup. If a new tank or other equipment is needed, identify that separately; a fuel request does not establish that equipment is included.

MATCH THE SETUP TO THE WORK

What does your operation need?

Construction sites

Equipment may move between work areas or projects. Identify the active entrance, machine count and whether fuel goes directly into units, into a tank or both.

Commercial fleets

Vehicles may return to a yard at different times. Identify the vehicles needing fuel, products, parking locations and the window when they will be present. Include vehicles that leave early or do not return each day.

Generators and facilities

Distinguish temporary power from standby equipment, and identify whether each generator is running. Provide the receiving-tank details and facility access requirements.

Multiple locations

List each site separately, with its contact, product, receiving setup and timing. A shared business address or account does not replace individual delivery instructions.

CHOOSE THE FREQUENCY

One delivery, a project schedule or ongoing service?

One-time delivery

Useful for a specific replenishment need, short task or occasional requirement. Provide the quantity and preferred window for that delivery.

Project-based replenishment

Useful when demand lasts for a defined project but changes between phases. Review equipment counts and expected use as the work progresses.

Ongoing replenishment

Useful when vehicles, equipment or tanks have repeated demand. Agree on the receiving arrangement and review quantities and timing when actual use changes.

Delivery frequency does not determine the receiving setup: direct fueling and tank replenishment can each be discussed for a single need or recurring service.

EXAMPLE: ONE BUSINESS, TWO SETUPS

A contractor may need Clear Diesel for support vehicles returning to its yard and a separate product for eligible off-road machines at a project. The yard and jobsite have different receiving windows and contacts, even though the same business is requesting fuel.

Describe the products, units or tanks, and quantities for each location separately.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Five questions to work through

What needs fuel? List vehicles, equipment, generators and tanks rather than describing only the business type.
Where will fuel be received? Identify each unit group or tank and the actual entrance.
Which products and quantities? Keep Clear Diesel, Dyed Diesel, Gasoline and DEF requirements separate.
When can the site receive? Consider parking schedules, operating hours, gates and the receiving contact.
What is likely to change? Note project phases, vehicle counts, equipment moves or extended generator use.
