Emergency Storm Fuel Delivery. When the grid goes down, we roll.
Diesel, dyed off-road fuel, and DEF delivered on site across Middle Tennessee and Metro Atlanta — to generators, line trucks, snow and ice equipment, pumps, and disaster relief crews. Four-hour or less response, any hour, any day, holidays included.
Who we fuel during a storm
Running out of fuel during an outage isn't an inconvenience, it's the second failure. These are the operations we keep running through severe weather across Tennessee and Georgia.
Emergency generator refueling during power outages
Standby and portable diesel generators at hospitals, data centers, cold storage, grocery, telecom huts, water treatment, and municipal buildings. We calculate burn against your load and put refills on a schedule for the length of the outage instead of waiting for a low-fuel alarm.
Line truck and bucket truck fueling
Utility line crews, bucket trucks, digger derricks, and chippers fueled at the staging yard so restoration crews aren't hunting open stations with the power out. One trip fee covers every unit on the lot.
Snow and ice removal equipment fueling
Plow trucks, loaders, skid steers, brine trucks, and salt spreaders fueled where they stage. We also deliver treated and winter-blended diesel ahead of a front, because Tennessee and Georgia ice storms routinely catch equipment on summer blend.
Disaster relief and restoration contractor fleets
Mutual aid crews, tree services, debris removal, roofing and tarping contractors, and FEMA-tasked subcontractors staged in from out of state with no local fuel account. We fuel the yard and invoice the contractor, not the crew.
Pumps and dewatering equipment
Trash pumps, wellpoint and bypass pumps, and dewatering setups running continuously after flooding. These burn around the clock and are usually the last thing anyone remembers to fuel.
Light towers and temporary power
Light towers, tow-behind generators, message boards, and temporary power for shelters, command posts, points of distribution, and overnight restoration work.
Know your burn rate before you're empty
The most common emergency call we get is from someone who checked a day tank at noon, saw it half full, and assumed it would hold overnight. Diesel generators at load burn faster than people expect.
| Generator size | At full load | Runtime on 400 gal |
|---|---|---|
| 20 kW standby | 1.6 gal/hr | ~250 hrs |
| 50 kW | 3.7 gal/hr | ~108 hrs |
| 100 kW | 7.1 gal/hr | ~56 hrs |
| 200 kW | 14.4 gal/hr | ~28 hrs |
| 500 kW | 35.7 gal/hr | ~11 hrs |
Approximate figures for diesel sets at full load. Actual consumption depends on load factor, altitude, ambient temperature, and engine condition — at half load most sets burn roughly 55 to 60 percent of these numbers. Use them to plan, not to cut it close.
What we need to know
If you're calling in an emergency, having these ready gets a truck moving faster:
- Site address and gate or access instructions
- Who to call on arrival, and their cell
- What we're fueling — generator size, number of trucks, tank capacity
- Clear on-road diesel or dyed off-road diesel
- Roughly how many gallons, or how long it needs to run
- Whether anything is already down
If you don't know some of it, call anyway. We'll work it out on the phone — that's faster than you guessing.
How an emergency call goes
No quote form, no callback queue, no waiting on an account application.
You call or text
Dispatch answers 24 hours. Tell us where you are, what's running, and what's at risk.
We commit a window
Four hours or less, confirmed on the call. If we can't make it, we tell you immediately so you can call someone else.
Card on file, by phone
First emergency delivery is prepaid. Two minutes on a secure link — paperwork isn't going to hold up a generator.
We fuel and log it
Metered dispensing, gallons recorded per asset with photos, and a schedule set for the rest of the outage if you need one.
Emergency fuel request
This form is for storm, outage, and disaster response only. Everything else goes through the standard quote tool, where you'll get a price on the page.
If equipment is down right now, call or text 770-728-5452. A phone call is always faster than a form during an event. Use this if you're staging ahead of a storm, or if you'd rather put the details in writing.
Request received
Dispatch has it and will call you. If this is urgent and you haven't heard from us in fifteen minutes, call 770-728-5452 directly — don't wait on us.

Emergency fuel delivery questions
How fast can you deliver emergency fuel during a storm?
Four-hour or less roll time, any hour, any day, holidays included. During forecast events we stage trucks ahead of the front where we can, which shortens it further. If you're down right now, call or text rather than filling out a form — it's faster.
How much fuel does a generator use during a power outage?
A 100 kW diesel set at full load burns roughly seven gallons an hour, so a 400-gallon day tank that looked fine at noon can be empty by morning. A 20 kW standby unit burns about 1.6 gallons an hour. The table above covers common sizes, and we'll run the numbers against your actual load on the phone.
Do you fuel utility line trucks and mutual aid crews?
Yes, and it's some of the work we're best set up for. Line crews and restoration contractors staged in from out of state have no local fuel account and no time to open one. We fuel the staging yard directly and invoice the contractor rather than the crew. One trip fee covers every unit on the lot.
Can you deliver fuel for snow removal equipment?
Yes. Plow trucks, loaders, skid steers, brine trucks, and salt spreaders get fueled where they stage, so operators aren't losing a shift driving to a pump in bad conditions. We also deliver treated and winter-blended diesel ahead of a front.
What is gelled diesel, and can you help if it's already happened?
When temperatures drop, paraffin wax in untreated diesel crystallizes and plugs filters and fuel lines. That's gelling, and it takes equipment out of service at exactly the moment you need it. The fix is treated or winter-blended fuel delivered before the cold arrives. If something is already down, call us — we can get treated fuel to you, though a gelled filter usually needs changing too.
Do I need an account set up before you'll come out?
No. First emergency delivery is prepaid by card, and we can set that up by phone in a couple of minutes on a secure link. Approved accounts move to Net 15 or Net 30 afterward. We're not going to let an account application keep a generator from running.
Do you work with emergency management and municipal agencies?
Yes — county EMA, public works, water and sewer authorities, school districts, and shelters. Purchase order and cost code fields are on every ticket, and we can provide a certificate of insurance and W-9 for procurement. Ask and we'll send them over.
Will you travel outside your normal service area for a declared event?
Often, yes. Our yards are in Middle Tennessee and Metro Atlanta, and we routinely run to Chattanooga, Birmingham, and southern Kentucky. For hurricane, ice storm, tornado, and flood response we've gone considerably further. Call and we'll price the run honestly, including whether someone closer would serve you better.
Don't wait for the low-fuel alarm.
Call or text and we'll tell you honestly whether we can get to you and when.
