TransFueler

Welcome to our brand new blog.

We hope to provide meaningful information on mobile fueling, fuel storage, etc.  News and info on our terrific TransFueler products, as well as general fuel transport & storage.

First, a bit about our company, who we are, and why we think TransFueler is simply the best.

We launched Advanced Fuel Systems in early 2007, as authorized distributors of several lines of storage tanks, dispensing equipment, and fuel management systems.  Our strategy since day one has been to be a very lean organization.  Instead of buying traditional print advertising, our sole method of marketing has been via the internet. We also do not cold call potential buyers, I don't like being cold called, and I doubt you do either...

Our philosophy is that we would prefer our customers to choose to buy from us because we present an excellent product at a fair price.  We don't "sell", we provide solid solutions. That means you won't get bombarded by endless pitches or nagging salesmen.  Our consistent growth since founding the company, shows us that philosophy is working. 

Back to our history;
Early on, we attended a trade show in Las Vegas.  There we saw something that intrigued us, that neither of us had seen before. It was a tank on a trailer, a mobile refueler.  Not a big semi-trailer that you see refilling gas stations, but a somewhat smaller unit. We approached the guys manning the booth, and before long we were sold on this concept. We signed up to be regional distributors, and set about to market this product on our website.

Unfortunately, while this first mobile fuel trailer we ran across was a good product, it was priced far too high.  We just could not attract buyers because of price resistance.  That led us to further explore the marketplace for a more suitable supplier.

We found a small shop in the Midwest that was selling a quality product, at a better price. They took us on as a dealer, and soon we became their exclusive western region distributor. As the years progressed, we refined our vision of what a fuel trailer should be.  We picked up a couple additional lines of tanks & trailers, including the terrific TransCube product.

Subsequently, the decision was made to develop our own brand of mobile refuelers, and the TransFueler line was born. We still believe that one size does not fit all, and continue to represent two other select fuel trailer brands as well.  This allows us to offer the widest selection of mobile refueling choices anywhere. We will provide you with the best total solution to your mobile fueling needs, not just what we make ourselves.

Since creating our own TransFueler line, sales have continued to grow. We still sell quite a number of stationary fuel storage tanks, as well as fuel management systems.
