diesel fuel delivery north carolina Unless you operate a fleet of freight or delivery trucks, buses, or farm or construction vehicles, you may not be all too familiar with diesel fuel or how it differs from regular unleaded gasoline. So, what exactly is diesel fuel? Like gasoline, diesel is made from refined crude oil, but it is less flammable and less volatile than gas and delivers a lot more power.

Diesel engines run a little differently than the combustion engine in the typical passenger car ort light-duty truck. So, you can’t take advantage of that power unless you have a diesel engine. But it’s that efficiency and power that are the key advantages of diesel over gas when it comes to heavy duty commercial vehicles. In addition, diesel engines tend to last longer and require less maintenance—even as they handle bigger loads.

From agriculture to construction, trucking to manufacturing and beyond, businesses large and small count on Rand Wade for the diesel delivery service they need to get the job done.
