Stop paying road taxes on your heavy equipment fuel. Here is why switching to dyed diesel and on-site tanks with Ricochet Fuel changes the math for job sites.

If you are managing a busy construction site and your crew is still loading up transfer tanks in the back of pickup trucks to run to the local gas station, you are bleeding money in two different ways: lost labor time and unnecessary fuel taxes.

I wanted to break down the logistics of transitioning to bulk fuel delivery, specifically using on-site tanks, because it’s a massive operational upgrade. We started utilizing Ricochet Fuel for our job sites, and the shift has been night and day.

First, let's talk about Dyed Diesel (off-road diesel). Because this fuel is strictly for off-road machinery (excavators, bulldozers, generators), it is exempt from state and federal highway taxes. If you are putting standard clear diesel from a retail pump into your earthmovers, you are overpaying by a significant margin. Ricochet Fuel delivers tax-free dyed diesel straight to the site.

Second is the hardware. Instead of dealing with the liability and hassle of permanent tank installations, you can rent "FuelCubes" directly from Ricochet Fuel. These are double-walled, environmentally safe, lockable, and easily droppable on virtually any job site. You just schedule the bulk fuel delivery, and their trucks top it off.

Your guys show up, fuel the equipment directly from the site tank, and get straight to work. Zero downtime. If you are operating in any of the 35+ states they service, how long did it take your company to finally make the switch to bulk on-site fueling?
