What Will Diesel Fuel Prices Do?

 

It's probably not surprising to you that I hear the question, "what will diesel fuel prices do" on a daily basis. After all, I am the President of a fuel management and fleet fueling consulting group. The goal is always to provide our clients with the most comprehensive information about diesel fuel prices and what we believe is going to happen.

 

There is no true science to predicting what diesel fuel prices are going to do. What I like to do is read as much as possible about different views of companies actively in the oil commodity space. As well as review inventory levels across the globe, usage reports, global demand and a sense of feeling the market. Read More

Not Sure What to Do in 2012?

It's Winter Time, Cold Outside

 

Yes, it's winter time and that means cold weather, snow, ice, road delays and whatever else can get thrown at us.

 

What it doesn't have to mean is fleet fueling issues. Everyone know that diesel fuel can have problems with it in the winter time.

Especially now in 2011 compared to just a few years ago. We have ULSD(ultra low sulfur diesel) Bio diesel fuel, DEF (diesel exhaust

fluids) and crude oil coming from everywhere which is sometimes more difficult to treat. This is not you Daddy's Diesel Fuel.

 

Take precaution. The last thing you want is a driver and load stuck somewhere broken down if you can help it.

 

Here are 6 simple tips.

  • Drain bottom of your fuel tanks for water (both truck tanks and storage tanks)
  • Change fuel filters before winter starts with the right size filters
  • Drain water from your water-fuel separator everyday
  • Wrap unprotected fuel line with non-flammable thermal barrier material
  • Buy quality diesel fuel
  • Use a superior winter diesel fuel additive

Our team of fuel mangement staff will be happy to help you, not only so your fleet fuel works but to help lower your diesel fuel cost.
