If you are running a business that relies on trucks, buses, forklifts, cranes, generators, tractors or bulldozers you have the choice of fueling the engines that belong to your equipment with diesel fuel or standard gasoline.
Any business owner knows how important it is for these vehicles and this equipment to be durable and last you a good amount of time. After all, not having durable and trustworthy equipment makes it hard to get your work done, which we all know is not good for your bottom line or your company’s productivity levels.
So what fuel is going to give your vehicles and machinery the most long-term durability? Let’s figure out the answer to this question together.
To put it plain and simply, an engine that is powered with diesel fuel is more durable than an engine that is powered with standard gasoline. You will also find that a diesel fuel powered engine lasts longer than a gasoline-powered engine.
All in all, this makes diesel fuel powered vehicles and equipment more reliable, which can only have a positive impact on your business.
There are two main types of diesel fuel and we offer both here at Cape Cod Oil & Propane.
On-road diesel fuel is used to fuel trucks, freighters, school buses and shuttle buses. In other words, vehicles that drive on an open road. It is commonly used by landscapers, moving companies and excavation companies.
Off-road diesel fuel (otherwise known as red diesel fuel) is reserved for vehicles and machinery that operate off of roads. It is also commonly used on construction sites and farms. In fact, it cannot and should not be used in standard commercial vehicles. Alternatively, off-road diesel fuel can be used for cranes, bobcats, generators, backhoes, bulldozers, tractors, forklifts and harvesters.
We have already covered the fact that diesel fuel offers durability and longevity.
On top of that, diesel fuel is now cleaner, greener and better for the environment than ever before.
It also gives an engine more power and makes them more equipped to tow heavy objects and materials.
Compared to a gasoline-fueled vehicle, a diesel-fueled vehicle is more efficient. Actually, certain vehicles that use diesel fuel can get 30% more miles than a gasoline-powered vehicle.
No matter what type of engine you are powering here on Cape Cod, Cape Cod Oil & Propane can get you the on-road and off-road diesel fuel you need. We serve all sorts of commercial customers throughout the Upper, Lower, and Outer Cape, including moving companies, freighters, school buses, shuttle bus companies, excavation companies and landscapers.
