TEMPORARY SITES

Direct-to-Equipment Fueling for Construction and Field Operations

Portable tank deployment for construction sites and field operations that need fuel on-site without sending equipment off-property. Tanks deploy at project start, relocate as phases shift, and refill on schedule tied to your burn rate.

Fueling active construction sites across PA and NJ since 1981.

Operational Overview

Construction sites consume diesel continuously and in irregular patterns - equipment runs through phases, crews shift between locations, and burn rates vary week to week. Coordinating off-property fueling for excavators, dozers, generators, and light towers adds logistics overhead that compounds across every active site.

Jobsite fueling places a portable tank at your location, sized to your current phase and equipment inventory. Fox Fuel delivers directly to the tank, which delivers to your equipment. When the phase ends or the crew moves, the tank relocates. When the site closes, it's removed.

Products: ULSD for on-road equipment, dyed diesel (red dye) for off-road equipment and tax-exempt fuel use. All delivered gallons are documented: site, equipment type, quantity, date, and driver signature. Documentation format is compatible with job-cost accounting systems.

Primary Use

Construction sites, field operations, industrial worksites

Storage

Portable tanks, 250-2,000 gal, relocatable

Products

ULSD + dyed diesel (off-road)

Core Service Components

Portable Tank Deployment

Tanks are placed at site based on access, equipment concentration, and phase timeline. Above-ground double-wall units, 250 to 2,000 gallons. Manual or pump-assisted dispensing based on site requirements. Access placement accounts for tanker delivery access and equipment proximity.

Dyed Diesel for Off-Road Equipment

Off-road equipment (excavators, dozers, loaders, generators) qualifies for dyed diesel - federally tax-exempt fuel with the same performance specs as ULSD. Fox Fuel delivers dyed diesel for qualifying off-road applications and ULSD for on-road or dual-use sites. Proper product segregation documented on every delivery ticket.

Phase-Based Refill Planning

Refill timing is tied to site burn rate, project phase, and equipment count so temporary storage stays aligned with active work instead of relying on last-minute reorder calls.

Phase-Based Relocation

As project phases end and crews move, tanks relocate to match the work. Fox Fuel coordinates relocation with your superintendent. No waiting for an outside logistics vendor - the same account team that manages your delivery manages your relocation.

Delivery & Setup

Tank Capacity
250-2,000 gal depending on phase and equipment count
Tank Type
Portable above-ground double-wall, manual or pump-assisted
Monitoring
Manual or cellular telemetry depending on site duration
Refill Trigger
Burn-rate schedule or telemetry threshold
Documentation
Delivery ticket: site, product, volume, date, signature
  1. Site intake - location, equipment inventory, phase schedule, estimated daily burn rate.
  2. Tank sizing and placement - Fox Fuel recommends based on burn rate and access; final placement confirmed with your superintendent.
  3. First delivery and tank commissioning - typically 2-3 business days from site approval.
  4. Ongoing refill schedule set; relocation plan documented for upcoming phases.

What Goes Wrong Without a Fuel Partner

Equipment Downtime From Fuel Shortage

An excavator that runs dry mid-day costs more than the fuel to fill it - it costs the operator time, the crew standing time, and the general contractor a schedule slip. On-site storage eliminates the equipment-to-pump trip that often delays the first hour of every shift.

Fuel Theft and Shrinkage

Construction site fuel theft is a real operational cost. Open tanks with no metering are the highest-risk configuration. Locked pump-access units with delivery documentation reduce both theft and the argument over whether theft occurred. Documentation that matches delivered gallons to logged consumption identifies discrepancies before they become disputes.

Compliance Exposure on Fuel Type

Using on-road ULSD in off-road equipment is legal. Using dyed diesel in an on-road vehicle is not - it triggers IRS penalties. Using ULSD when dyed diesel was available means paying avoidable federal excise tax. Fox Fuel documents product type on every delivery ticket and confirms the right product for each site configuration.

How Fox Fuel Solves It

Equipment runs dry between deliveries

Burn-rate based refill scheduling

Fox Fuel sets your refill schedule based on your equipment count and daily burn rate. As phases change, the schedule adjusts. The goal is a tank that never drops below 25% capacity during active operations.

No documentation for job-cost accounting

Site-specific delivery documentation

Every delivery ticket records: site name, product type, volume, date, and driver signature. This format is usable directly in job-cost systems without reformatting. Multi-site accounts receive consolidated records on request.

Relocation logistics when phases end

Account team coordinates relocation directly

Your account contact handles relocation scheduling - no third-party coordination required. Tanks move when your phases move. The logistics burden stays with Fox Fuel, not your superintendent.
