All about diesel fuel

• What IS diesel fuel, anyways? We’ve all heard of diesel fuel and encountered the diesel pumps at the gas station, but many people aren’t truly familiar with what this fuel is and does. Diesel fuel is a blend of refined crude oil and biomass materials. Diesel can make a big difference for your commercial business, especially if you work with a local expert to make your fuel accessible on your job site with personalized, reliable delivery.
• What vehicles are powered by diesel? According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, diesel fuel works well with motor vehicles that use compression ignition engines, like freight and delivery trucks, trains, buses and boats, as well as agricultural, construction, and military vehicles. Even some cars and light trucks can be equipped with diesel engines.
• What about other types of equipment? In addition to diesel vehicles, diesel fuel is also used in diesel-engine electrical generators. Around the world, many industrial facilities, large buildings, institutional facilities, hospitals, and electric utilities have diesel generators for backup and emergency power supply.
• How does diesel fuel impact the environment? Diesel fuel used to contain high amounts of sulfur, which is a harmful emission, but in 2006, the government began phasing in requirements that reduced the sulfur content of diesel fuel available in the U.S. Today, all diesel fuel sold for on-highway usage in the U.S. is ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), with a sulfur content of 15 parts per million or less. Most diesel fuel intended for off-road use is also ULSD.
• How can diesel fuel benefit my business? It all comes down to productivity and efficiency, which can help you save big on your business costs. With the diesel fuel your business needs available to you on-site, your employees won’t have to stop working to locate a filling station – and that saved time translates to increased productivity. Say goodbye to spending hours managing paperwork to document fueling receipts or track fuel usage and costs.
