Importance of Reliable Fuel Requirements for the Transport Industry
The transport industry is the backbone of an efficient supply chain process. To best streamline this process, trucks need to be able to operate fully and efficiently. The key to enabling this is through an effective fuel management system. This is best achieved through correctly understanding your fleet’s refuelling requirements to help avoid fuel shortages and fleet delays.
To create a more reliable refuelling supply, ordering your fuel in bulk quantities can help to plan out your fuel requirements more efficiently. The bulk ordering process assists in better allocating fuel amongst your fleet to create a streamlined delivery journey. Bulk fuel delivery also requires correct storage to ensure your fuel is usable for the required period.
All About AdBlue
Becoming increasingly popular in commercial and private transport, AdBlue is an anti-pollutant that reduces most of the harmful emissions from diesel. Made from urea and deionised water, AdBlue is added to an exhaust pipe to break down unburnt fuel into water and nitrogen. This process helps to disintegrate harmful nitrous oxide limiting the amount of toxic nitrogen oxide released as exhaust gases. Within certain countries and for certain environmentally conscious companies it is now the requirement that any company operating diesel vehicles must ensure that the diesel is combined with AdBlue.
Fleet Management Choosing Diesel and AdBlue Fuel
Assisting with cleaner emissions for your fleet, AdBlue is a great addition to your refuelling requirements. There are some considerations with its use and storage that assist in best practices and use for staff. Fuel storage for AdBlue should ensure it is maintained at a temperature of between 0 and 30 degrees and stored in an airtight and sealed container. Following correct refuelling procedures are also important to obtain the best results from utilising AdBlue.
In most tanks, AdBlue and diesel have separate refuelling compartments with the AdBlue compartment located below the fuel pump. It is important to ensure that both kinds of fuel do not contaminate each other as any mixture of the fuel can cause the motor to stop functioning efficiently.

I purchased a Poly Tank Fuel Trailer from DUROTANK in April 2018. DUROTANK builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail is unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and its road worthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high quality hydraulic hose and crimped fittings so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries. The staff are friendly and it is a pleasure to do business with them. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat, that’s for sure

Ben Harris – AB Contract Farming
The Duro Cubes are going extremely well! My guys are very happy with them. Having them already saved us on oil transport on at least 2 occasions so far and has also allowed us to restructure our oil work days and use out of hours oil deliveries to make more efficient use of the time on site.
