Autogas refueling for Fleets
Autogas refueling is just as easy as fueling a gasoline or diesel vehicle. You simply connect a fuel hose from a dispenser to your Autogas vehicle. Only the nozzle will look different and you connect to your Autogas fill connection instead of your normal gas or diesel fuel inlet.
Autogas Fuel Stations can be Public and Private. In some regions you find many public Autogas stations to use and in some area’s you see Autogas dispensers at the normal Gas station. Most Autogas companies provide Fuel cards or allow use of existing fuel cards when you want to use their public Autogas fuel stations. Autogas refueling can provide a Fleet new options that were not available before.
What about having a private, custom, fuel station on your own property?
Fueling can be planned, outsourced and doesn’t have to be part of the employee workday or route anymore.
“The best custom refueling option for your Fleet depends on its size, routes, and refueling timing. Your local Autogas propane supplier can help you select the right option for your Fleet.”
On Site Refueling Options
Fleets can benefit of having their own custom fuel station on their property or in the area.
Below you will find examples of different custom options.
Standard private station
This is best for small Fleets of 50 vehicles or fewer, and includes a 1,000- to 3,000-gallon tank that acts as a convenient central refueling location.

Autogas Refueling Guide
With Autogas, there are 5 types of refueling options: On Site refueling – Public network – Private Network – Temporary refueling – Mobile refueling.
Quick connect nozzles make filling up with Autogas easy, just like your experience with gasoline or diesel. They may be used one-handed and may not require protective eyewear or gloves. The refueler simply clicks the nozzle into place, fills up the tank, and gets back on the road. Because of the secure connection, there’s also a reduced risk of releasing emissions into the air during refueling.
With Autogas there is also no fuel spilling on the ground, keeping the property and soil clean. The Fuel supplier is the expert that offers support from A to Z to Fleets that want their own fuel station.
