Warehousing / Cold Storage?

We've sold quite a number of TransFueler to operators of warehouses & cold storage facilities.  This allows them to keep their operations running 24/7, during power outages.  

A good example, are the food warehouses run by Trader Joe's.  We built 14 custom refuelers for them, one for each warehouse facility.  These 1,000 gallon diesel TransFuelers will keep their back up generators running for days.

 

Another is one we just delivered to a beverage distributor in Arizona. The versatile ACV-TransFueler 500. This refueler combines our DyMac ACV tank, with a bespoke TransFueler trailer and dispensing system.  

If you're in the business of keeping things in a climate controlled building, or simply need power available 24/7/365, you need a TransFueler. 

Refueling standby generators with five gallon cans is a thing of the past. Improve safety, efficiency and the ever important environmental aspect with a TransFueler.

Emergency Preparedness

Texas Ice Storms

Southeast Hurricanes

Western Wildfires

Northeast Blizzards

Midwest Tornadoes

Southern Flooding

Every year, we expect the unexpected. Being prepared for these events is vital to protecting your communities, businesses, and loved ones. The current snow & ice storms in Texas & Mid-South clearly show the havoc created by not adequately planning for power outages. Whether it's Hurricanes in Florida, flooding in the south, or snow storms in the north, all emergency situations require preparedness. 

Quality Fuel Trailer and Tank Inc. has the solution.  With the industry's largest selection, we have the right refueler for your application. 

In this blog post, I'm going to go through a couple different scenarios where proper emergency fuel preparedness can be the difference between life and death.

- Hurricanes, Flooding & Blizzards:  Year round, somewhere in the country is having or recovering from a weather caused disaster.  Be it freezing temperatures & blizzards, forest & range wildfires, hurricanes & tornadoes, or flooding.  Frequently, these events cause power outages along with significant physical damage.  

Power outages carry serious consequences: health and safety is compromised, communications are cut off, basic life supporting needs such as heat, power, water and food are all at risk.  Medical facilities become overwhelmed. Law enforcement agencies are stressed. The most efficient solution is having a fuel reserve available.  

- Forest, Brush & Wildfires:  Along with power outages these fires cause, simply fighting the fires is energy intensive. Aerial firefighting is standard procedure these days for significant wildfires.  Whether by airplane or helicopter, these operations consume a good amount of jet fuel, as well as diesel for ground vehicles and heavy equipment.  Having a dedicated mobile, onsite supply of fuel can mean the difference between successfully beating down a fire, or continued destruction.

Cost/Benefit Analysis: TransFueler Aviation

We've always known that a TransFueler will save money quite effectively for aircraft operators.
Now, we have actual financial analysis results to share.

This study was done by a good customer, one of the largest helicopter operators in the world. They operate about 400 jet helicopters in a variety of roles, primarily air ambulance and tourism.

The subject aircraft is an Airbus Eurocopter EC135.  This is a medium to large, twin turbine engine helicopter, used worldwide. Quite typical of air ambulance, law enforcement, tourism, etc. uses. In this scenario, the helicopter is based at a hospital or airport without access to fueling 24/7.

The study used data collected over a one year period of time. Bottom line: they discovered that a TransFueler saved almost $74,000/year.

Breaking it down:

• Annual flights: 285 (Approximately 560 flight hours)
• Flights needing extra stop to refuel: 199 
• Percentage of flights needing to stop to refuel: 70%
• Actual extra flight time for fuel stop: 21 minutes per trip
• Direct operating cost per flight hour (Excluding fuel): $759.11
• Actual operating savings: $50,284

• Aircraft hours reduced: 66
• Aircraft fuel consumption, gallons per hour: 68
• Average fuel cost per gallon: $4.12
• Fuel cost savings: $18,565

•  Annual flight hours: 559
•  Hours reduced by not stopping for fuel: 66
• Aircraft fuel consumption rate: 68 gallons per hour
• Annual fuel use: 33490 gallons
• Savings per gallon: $0.15 (Agreement with local fuel supplier)
• Fuel savings: $5,024

Total Savings: $73,873
Typical cost of a TransFueler Aviation refueler, 750 gallon capacity: $28,000.
Time to completely recoup cost of purchasing TransFueler: 4.5 MONTHS

This isn't a made-up marketing story. These are real numbers, from a real aircraft operator.

Top 7 Ways a TransFueler Will Save You Money

1. Reduce down time spent going to a gas station or filling with 5 gallon cans.  Fuel your vehicles, equipment & generators 24/7, on your schedule.

2. Reduce down time waiting for a fuel truck to deliver & refuel your equipment. How many hours are wasted with an out-of-fuel piece of equipment that could be working instead of waiting? How many labor hours are lost? 

3. Reduce fuel costs with a fuel contract. Fuel suppliers typically have programs to sell you fuel at reduced cost when you agree to have them be your regular supplier.

4. Reduce per trip delivery charges by fuel suppliers. Have them come fill your TransFueler with a large load, and fill your equipment from the TransFueler. Typical delivery fees run about $50/per trip. This alone can pay for a TransFueler in a matter of months.

5. Be prepared for fuel shortages, natural disasters, etc. When others tanks are dry, have a good supply of fuel on hand to keep working.

6. Reduce "cycle" costs. Particularly applicable to our aviation customers. Instead of flying to an airport to refuel your helicopter or plane, fuel it on your site, 24/7. Reduces engine cycles & crew costs.  100% readiness.

7. Reduce fuel theft. Instead of employees going to gas stations with a company credit card, dispense and track fuel usage 24/7 with a properly equipped TransFueler.

Summary:
A TransFueler (or any other of our excellent refuelers) will save you money.

• Reduce down time for both equipment & personnel. 
• Keep equipment working instead of waiting.
• Purchase fuel cheaper in bulk. 
• Reduce engine cycles by fueling on site. 
• Be prepared by having a safe, secure 24/7 refueling capability.
