Fuel Tenders (Type 1–3)

- Payment
- Vendor accepts major credit cards at the incident and gives receipts
- Also
- Dyed off-road diesel where allowed, DEF, bulk drops to on-site tanks
Everything on an incident burns fuel: generators, light towers, pumps, dozers, engines, buses and pickups. Sending every unit to town to fill up wastes hours. A fuel tender brings the fuel to the equipment and fills each unit straight from the hose.
KDT fuel tenders are rented by the day with a qualified operator for each shift and typed by tank size: Type 1 is 3,501 gallons or more, Type 2 is 2,501–3,500 and Type 3 is 500–2,500. Diesel and unleaded gasoline each come from their own dispensing system with a certified meter. The operator holds a CDL with the right endorsements, carries a fuel spill response kit, accepts major credit cards at the incident and gives receipts, and records issues on Fuel and Oil Issue tickets (OF-304) or a spreadsheet, reconciled with the finance section daily. The per-gallon price is set at the time of hire.
KDT also delivers dyed off-road diesel where that use is allowed and DEF for Tier 4 engines, runs recurring generator routes and makes bulk drops into on-site tanks. Every fill is metered and recorded against the unit.

Can you keep critical facilities fueled after a hurricane?
Yes. We set up recurring delivery to generators at shelters, clinics, lift stations and other critical sites so they don't run dry while the grid is down.
