Is an assured supply of
gasoline or diesel fuel essential to your business? Are you storing
such fuels in underground storage tanks (USTs) at one or more of
your facilities?
Are you putting off upgrading or replacing those UST systems —
even though you know there was a December 1998 deadline
for getting it done?
If your answer to any of these questions was "yes," read
on.
To begin with, you need to ask yourself whether you really need
on-site fuel storage. If you could be sure you would have access
to fuel 24 hours a day, and a conveniently located station, would
that meet your needs? Such an arrangement would enable you to avoid
the costs associated with operating and maintaining your own storage
systems and the costs to bring them and keep them in compliance.
These costs can include record keeping, tax filing, cash flow problems
(due to carrying your own inventory), insurance (required by law),
repairs and maintenance, etc.
If you are convinced that you need on-site fueling, do you need
to maintain inventory and replace or upgrade your tanks? Or can
your needs be satisfied through the use of an on-site fueling service?
Deiter Brothers can meet your fueling requirements whether you
use any of the 1,100 sites across the United States and Canada,
or our on-site fueling service which will
come directly to your location any time of day or night and fuel
your vehicles directly. With both services you receive one comprehensive
statement at the end of the month detailing all your fueling use.
These options might enable you not only to avoid the cost of upgrading
or replacing old USTs, but also lower the cost of your liability
insurance and reduce the risk of having petroleum releases that
could be costly to clean up. In addition, if you remove all your
USTs in favor of off-site fueling or on-site fuel services, you
will avoid some of the environmental concerns that sometimes block
property transfers or make bankers reluctant to lend money.
Finally, if you do not know about the December 1998 deadline for
making certain improvements to your UST system, or should you need
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
