Generator refueling, before and during the outage.
A standby generator holds hours of fuel, not days. Whether a facility stays up depends less on whether the generator starts than on who is bringing the next tanker.

The arithmetic nobody runs
A day tank buys hours.
Standby generator tanks are sized to bridge a gap, not to outlast an event. At full load, many run for a single-digit number of hours — and those hours start counting during exactly the conditions that make a fuel delivery hardest.
The failure mode is rarely the generator. It is a facility that ran on generator power successfully for six hours and then stopped, because nobody had established in advance who was bringing more fuel, how fast, and in what order relative to everyone else calling the same supplier.
The work that prevents that is done on an ordinary weekday, not during the storm.
How it works
What a standby fuel arrangement covers.
Establish the runtime
Actual hours of autonomy at realistic load, not the tank's nameplate capacity. This is the number everything else is planned against, and it is usually shorter than expected.
Set the access
Gate codes, escort requirements, fill-point locations, and who can authorize entry at three in the morning. Sorted once, in writing, while it is easy.
Schedule the routine fills
Generators consume fuel during testing, and fuel degrades in tanks that never turn over. Planned top-ups keep the tank full and the fuel current.
Agree the outage response
Where you sit in priority, what the commitment actually is, and one named contact on each side who does not need to look anything up.
Why it fails
What goes wrong, and when.
The tank was never as full as assumed
Test runs consume fuel and nobody logged it. Tank monitoring removes the guesswork by reporting the actual level rather than the last remembered one.
The fuel had been sitting for years
Standby tanks turn over slowly. Water ingress and microbial growth do more damage than age, and both are found at the worst possible moment.
Nobody could get in
A tanker at a locked gate at 3am with no contact who answers is a common and entirely preventable failure.
Everyone called at once
A regional outage means every facility in the area phones every supplier in the area. Arrangements made in advance are what separate the sites that stay up.
Common questions
Before you call.
How long will my generator run on a full tank?
Fewer hours than most people assume. It depends on the generator's fuel burn at your actual load rather than its rating, and on the usable volume of the tank rather than its nominal capacity. Working that number out honestly is the first thing worth doing.
Do generators use clear or dyed diesel?
Dyed off-road diesel, in almost every case. A stationary standby generator never drives on a public road, so it takes the untaxed fuel. We will confirm it for your specific installation.
Can you refuel during an outage?
Yes — that is what the arrangement exists for. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year. What determines how fast we reach you is whether the access, the priority and the contacts were agreed beforehand.
Does standby fuel go bad?
It degrades, and water and microbial contamination usually cause more trouble than age. Tanks that sit for years without turning over are the ones worth testing. Scheduled top-ups keep the fuel moving.
Can you monitor the tank level for us?
Yes. Monitored tanks report their level continuously, so a fill is scheduled against real consumption instead of somebody remembering to check a gauge.
