Looking into getting bulk diesel delivered to my yard, but wondering what the best options are? Get a tank supplied, i'm not sure if I would use enough fuel to get a free tank? Or spend around $3-4k buying a 800-1200 gallon tank and pump at Ritchie's? Other concern is I have no power, not sure if a generator is the only option, or some kind of solar or batteries? In the summer months guessing I will use in the area of 3000L a month, but maybe 1000L in the winter. The savings would be nice but mostly going for convenience, i'm tired of going to the pump almost everyday I use the excavator with the tractor trailer, it's such a hassle and waste of time. For the amount I use would it be reasonable to expect a supplier to give me a tank rental for free? I have tried finding information on dyed fuel for the equipment but information seems to be lacking. Does anyone know how involved it is to obtain, and how much you actually save? About 30-40% of fuel use would be in equipment. Who would be the best to use for it? I have only tried contacting UFA and Hughes so far, but haven't gotten any real information. Seems like it's too small for them to want to bother with or something
