Okay, so you’ve got to rent construction site fuel tanks in Georgia and Alabama. You’ve found a rental partner. Next, the questions. What size tank do you need? How quickly can it be delivered? Who monitors fuel levels? What happens when the project ends?
There could be project complications, too. What if your subdivision needs equipment spread over dozens of acres for months or crews are going to move every few days? Fuel should be a background concern, but logistics questions like these threaten to distract your attention from the project.
Choose a local fuel supplier that gets it — your schedule, your equipment, and how these projects operate — so you can set your site up and get back to work.
Tell Us About the Job. We'll Recommend the Tank.
Contractors generally don't call us asking specifically for a 500-gallon or 1,000-gallon tank. They call because they have a project starting on a certain date. They need dependable fuel on site, whatever that will require.
So, we'll ask some questions. Your fuel provider needs to know a little about the equipment you're fueling, how long the project will last, and how frequently you want deliveries. From there, we can recommend a tailored tank size along with a delivery schedule and monitoring options to fit your job and timeline. If fuel demand changes halfway through the project, the fueling plan can change with it.
Build the Delivery Schedule Around Fuel Usage
We’re used to working with all types of contractors and projects. Each one has a particular cadence for fuel. For instance, a subdivision may require steady deliveries over several months, whereas a DOT project might increase fuel demand as additional equipment arrives. Utility contractors usually move from location to location as their work progresses.
After our team reviews the project, we’ll recommend a customized delivery schedule based on expected fuel consumption — and we can always modify that schedule as work progresses. Whatley Oil works with each customer to build a delivery schedule around the project itself. As equipment is added or fuel demand changes, deliveries can be adjusted without replacing the tank.
Add Remote Monitoring If Someone Isn't Always on Site
Remote tank monitoring isn't necessary for every project, but some projects have a superintendent or equipment manager checking fuel levels every day. Others don't.
On larger jobsites or projects where equipment operates in multiple areas, automatic monitoring helps schedule deliveries from actual recorded tank levels. If tanks may go several days without being checked on your project, we recommend remote tank monitoring.
Whatley Oil will track fuel levels automatically and schedule deliveries so that the tank doesn’t run out.
