October 25th, 2016 by Fiedler Group

For years, construction companies, farmers , transportation companies and other industries have paid diesel fuel delivery companies to fill up their tanks.

But now fuel deliveries are occurring in residential neighborhoods and corporate campus parking lots.

Residential mobile fueling is a growing trend in many cities, with consumers signing up with residential mobile fueling programs to have their gasoline brought to them while they work or sleep.

Filld, who provides 24/7 services to Silicon Valley and San Francisco draws fuel from the same wholesale distributors as traditional gas stations, and delivers to customers utilizing Ford F250 trucks with 100-gallon tanks.

Anna Roubos, Director of Communications at Filld notes “Our customers order regularly and many report that they haven’t stopped for gas since their first order with Filld, We see a lot of success with three kinds of people: stay-at-home parents, power commuters and tech-savvy early adopters who enjoy a variety of on-demand services.”

Purple is also a provider of on-demand fueling services, utilizing couriers carrying no more 30 gallons of fuel to provide service primarily in Los Angeles , with limited service in Orange County, San Diego and Seattle.

According to Jeff Dove, Marketing Director at Purple. “Our customers are everyone from parents who are too busy to get gas to the everyday commuter that prefers not to wait in long lines at the gas station.

We are also working with corporate accounts such as hotels, residences and car fleets.”

“Purple’s has been growing rapidly and our members love our service,” Dove said.

“Most people put up with going to the gas station because there has been no alternative. We are working hard to continue to provide the best service we can.”

A third provider, Booster Fuels, is introducing residential mobile fueling to northern Texas, and Northern California. Booster Fuels service model involves partnership with large businesses to offer on-demand fuel service at corporate campuses.

Employees park their cars, utilize Booster Fuels app to request a fill-up, leave their gas cap open and when they return after the work day is done their car is filled.

All mobile fueling service providers must meet strict local, state and federal regulations regarding transport and deliver of their fuel.
