How our heavy fuel distribution service works
Our fleet is highly diversified, with trucks of different capacities that allow us to reach narrow or hard-to-access locations.

In addition, thanks to our extensive fleet, we can supply any volume of fuel, from 1 gallon to 10,000 or multiple deliveries of 10,000 if required, directly to where the customer needs it.
We have the most complete private fleet in Puerto Rico and, as it is managed internally, we have total control over when and where to dispatch the fuel, which represents a real advantage in the Puerto Rican market.
Once you request the heavy fuel distributor service, we assign one of our drivers with the appropriate equipment and the necessary hose length to meet your needs. The fuel is delivered directly to your residence, business, or facility.
It is important to note that orders must be placed 24 to 48 hours in advance under normal conditions, and at least 3 days in advance in case of an emergency.

For this segment, we offer a comprehensive portfolio:
- Bulk oil delivery.
