Fuel Delivery in Newark, NJ
Clear and dyed diesel, DEF, gasoline and R99 renewable diesel delivered to drayage yards off Doremus Avenue, contractor sites around Newark Liberty, downtown generators and bulk tanks across the city. Dispatch runs 24/7/365.
Five products, one truck, one invoice
A seaport, an airport and a rail hub inside one city line
Newark's east side is a freight machine. Port Newark sits on Newark Bay, where Port Newark Container Terminal works the Newark side of the Port of New York and New Jersey. The port handled 8.7 million TEUs in 2024. Behind the docks, Oak Island Yard in the Ironbound is Conrail's hub for North Jersey, and ExpressRail Newark loads containers straight onto CSX trains. Every box that moves through them is pulled by a drayage tractor, lifted by yard equipment or switched by a locomotive, and all of it burns diesel.
Those drayage tractors have a DEF problem built in. Since July 2023, trucks registering for Port Authority marine terminals need engines that meet 2014 federal emissions standards. In practice that means SCR aftertreatment on nearly every diesel tractor, and SCR runs on DEF. We wet-hose drayage and box-truck fleets in their yards overnight, top up DEF on the same visit, and log every gallon by unit, so trucks leave for the terminal full instead of detouring to a truck stop between turns.
West of the port, the demand changes shape. The Port Authority's $3.5 billion AirTrain Newark replacement started guideway work in January 2026 and won't carry passengers until 2030, so excavators, cranes and light towers will be on site for years. Downtown, 165 Halsey Street, is a 1.2 million sq ft carrier hotel with more than 60 networks, and it advertises a full basement for fuel tanks. University Hospital in University Heights is northern New Jersey's only Level I trauma center. Each of those runs on standby generators, and standby generators run on fuel that has to be checked and refilled before an outage, not during one.
What we deliver in Newark, down to the spec
The grades port operators, contractors and facility managers ask for by name. Mixed sites get each product as its own line item.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel #2 (Clear)
ASTM D975, 15 ppm sulfur max, highway tax included. For drayage tractors, box trucks and anything registered to run the Turnpike, I-78 or Route 21.
Red-Dyed ULSD #2 (Off-Road)
The same ULSD, dyed as a federal tax marker. For yard tractors, cranes, construction equipment, generators and reefer units that draw from their own separate tank. It never goes into a road tractor.
87 to 93 Octane & Ethanol-Free
Regular through premium (93 where offered) for light fleets, service vans and crew trucks, plus ethanol-free for saws, pumps and small engines on job sites.
Renewable Diesel (R99 / HVO)
Meets ASTM D975 and drops into existing engines and tanks. It resists degradation in storage, which suits generator tanks that sit between tests. It isn't stocked at every terminal; where it can't be pulled locally, it ships by rail or barge.
DEF, ISO 22241 Certified
32.5% urea for SCR-equipped diesels. Plan on roughly 2 to 3% of your diesel volume. Delivered in jugs, 55-gallon drums, 275 and 330-gallon totes, or bulk tank fills.
Winter-Blended Diesel
Winter blending and additive packages for tanks and equipment that sit outside through a New Jersey winter. Ask dispatch before the first cold snap, not after a filter gels. How to prevent gelling →
Wet-hose, tank wagon or transport load: which fits your Newark site?
Dispatch matches the truck to your storage, your gate and how fast you burn fuel.
All five wards, from Newark Bay to Vailsburg
The port and the Doremus Avenue corridor, the airport district, downtown and University Heights, and the residential wards to the north, south and west.
Where the Turnpike, I-78 and Route 21 meet.
Newark is laid out around the Newark Airport Interchange, where the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), I-78, US 1&9, US 22 and Route 21 come together between the airport and the port. Most of the city's fuel demand sits within a few miles of that junction: terminal yards on Newark Bay, warehouses and rail along Doremus Avenue, and contractor staging around EWR.
Port and terminal sites have their own gate rules. Our drivers carry TWIC credentials for port access, and dispatch confirms gate procedures, fill points and contacts before the truck leaves. A truck that is turned away at the gate costs you a day.

Where we deliver in and around Newark
During Sandy in October 2012, the National Hurricane Center measured 4 to 6 feet of inundation across Newark Bay around Newark Liberty, and about 95 percent of Newark residents were without power the day after. Nine years later, Ida dropped more than 8.4 inches on Newark Airport on September 1, 2021, the wettest day on record there. Sandy's surge came off the bay into the Ironbound; Ida's rain fell on every ward at once. Either way, standby generators carry the load and burn fuel far faster than any test schedule.
- Top off before the storm: Fill generator and bulk tanks while roads are open, and ask about storm pre-positioning.
- Get on file now: Gate codes, fill points and contacts recorded in advance turn a 2am call into a dispatch, not an onboarding.
- Add runtime: A sub-base tank buys hours. Rental tanks from 119 to 17,000 gallons buy days.
- Check the fuel after the water: Flooding and condensation put water in tanks. We test, polish, clean the tank or pump the fuel out if it can't be saved.
