What if you had a deadline for a huge project and something set you back. Or you couldn’t show up for customers that depend on your service? Would you do everything in your control to prevent this from happening? And what impact would this have on your reputation and bottom line??
This scenario is unfortunately common for businesses that rely on diesel equipment. There are a lot of factors you can’t control, like the Texas weather. But there are some things you can control. And if you don’t have a handle on those, you may end up suffering setback after setback.
One thing you can control is fuel availability. And if you are in an industry that relies on diesel- equipment, you cannot afford downtime due to running out of fuel One way to prevent idle equipment and empty tanks is to install monitored on fuel tanks at your job site or truck yard. There are many benefits of having a ready supply of fuel on hand. Here are a few.
Everyone knows you get a better price when you buy in bulk. Whether we are talking about diesel fuel or hamburger meat, the more you buy the lower the price. When you purchase bulk diesel to fill up your onsite tank, you receive a discounted price versus a gas station.
Downtime for any kind of business should be avoided at all costs. The best way to avoid downtime is always having the fuel you need when you need it. Whether you or your supplier monitors your tanks, you’ll increase your productivity by always having fuel in your tanks for your fleet.
As we mentioned before, fuel prices fluctuate. Politics, crude oil prices, supply and demand - you name it. A lot goes into why many things, including fuel, can cost one thing one day and be more expensive the next. That’s why, when you see fuel prices dropping, you could consider filling your storage tanks. Diesel has a shelf life of around a year, so you’ll thank yourself when your diesel storage tanks are full and prices start to soar.
We have talked about buying in bulk and buying when prices are low, but there is another way diesel storage tanks can help you save money. As you know, fuel delivery costs money. And that’s on top of already high fuel prices. If your tanks are monitored, your fuel supplier can deliver at exactly the right time. Helping you get the most out of your delivery charge so you can enjoy the savings.
