Refined Fuel and DEF
As summer moves along, fall and winter seasons continue to creep our way. This “in between” time is a great time to think of standard maintenance items to your fuel storage tanks, pumps, gauges, hoses, nozzles and especially fuel filters.
Fuel filters have a life span and should be changed regularly. With fall temperatures varying, it’s best to be mindful of the micron size of the filter you are using. The lower the number of micron, the finer the filter is. This can cause issues with pumping performance depending on the fuel you are using and the temperature of the fuel being filtered.
For instance, if you are using 10 micron filters and running a non-blended fuel through the colder months, the chances of plugged filters will increase, leading to poor pump performance. Fuel filters and other maintenance items are available at our facilities in Welcome, Wesley and Clear Lake.
Just a reminder to double check your DEF supply and start the fall season full. DEF is available for pick up in Welcome, Wesley and Clear Lake, or we also have delivery options available. DEF pumps, totes and drums are also available if you’d like to look into those options to add or upgrade your DEF storage.
Please call Matt Zadow at 507-639-7123 if you have any questions or want to place an order for service work for your fuel storage or DEF storage tanks.
LP Service and Storage
Spring and summer months are obviously the time for a lot of construction projects to start or continue. These could be house additions, new buildings, generators, dryer setups, garage heaters, etc.
In many cases, your LP storage may be enough to supply more than one heating system with the addition of another line. In some cases, additional storage is needed depending on the location of the needed service or the BTU pull the system may have. As we move closer to both the heating and dryer seasons, these jobs will start to stack up. Please reach out to us to discuss what needs you may have!
Regulator Replacement
As you know, we’re committed to replacing all LP regulators that are at or past the manufacturer recommended replacement date, most of which are 25 years.
If you received the letter and have called to be put on the list for replacement, Operations staff is working through those orders as we speak. If you have received communication from us and have not called, please contact Matt Zadow to have your order added to the list.
