TODAY   Fuelman customers can access fuel through a network of 30,000+ merchant sites. With pre-purchase controls and the critical data captured at the fueling site our fleet owners can both control their "total cost of fueling" and better manage all their fleet costs by scheduling preventive maintenance and replacements.
 


Fuelman of DFW Serves the Marketplace

Fuelman of DFW provides customers with the tools to manage their fuel consumption and the information to better manage their fleet assets while reducing their "total cost of fueling".

Fuelman of DFW can offer a potential customer the options to:

  Remove its underground storage tanks ("USTs") and fuel exclusively on the "network".
  Contract with Fuelman of DFW to install above ground storage tanks ("ASTs") and fuel exclusively On-Site.
  Fuel both On-Site and Off-Site with both types of transactions being reported on a single Fuel Management Report.
  Sub-license the Fuelman of DFW software so that the customer can run it "In-House".
The benefits of sophisticated fleet fuel management have gained importance as companies have developed an increasingly aggressive approach toward asset management and inventory minimization.
Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission regulations have increased the risks of owning Underground Storage Tanks. As the price per gallon increases, our services become more valuable to our customers because "lost gallons" are impossible to offset financially when one tries to save a few cents per gallon using cash or credit cards.
