Bulk Fuel Facilities

Benefits/Costs

• Purchasing fuel in bulk (wholesale price) saves money – often several cents a litre.
• On site fuel facilities may be essential to operations, or provide improved operational control and a reduction in vehicle off site down time.
• The initial cost of setting up bulk fuel facilities can be substantial, however savings and benefits can generate a positive Return on Investment (ROI) in a short time depending on volume. Well maintained facilities can extend ROI over decades.
• Poorly maintained and loosely managed facilities will cause problems and not realise the above financial and operational benefits.
• A good fuel management system is an essential part of a bulk fuel facility.
