Port growth, a refinery job site and I-95 in Philadelphia
Serving Philadelphia County
South Philadelphia’s old refinery is now one of the region’s biggest construction sites. The Philadelphia Energy Solutions complex on the Schuylkill River shut down after explosions in June 2019. Hilco Redevelopment Partners bought the 1,300-acre property and is building the Bellwether District, an industrial, logistics and innovation campus. The developer plans a buildout of 10 to 15 years. That means years of excavators, compactors, cranes and temporary power running on off-road diesel.
PhilaPort set a container record in 2024, moving about 841,000 TEUs. Every container off a ship means more drayage trips, more yard tractor hours and more reefer units plugged in.
I-95 and the cost of one closure
I-95 is the spine of the city’s truck traffic. On June 11, 2023, a gasoline tanker crashed and burned on the Cottman Avenue ramp in Northeast Philadelphia. The fire collapsed the northbound roadway. Police detoured traffic onto State Road, Tacony Street and Aramingo Avenue until a temporary roadway reopened on June 23. A site that runs its tanks near empty depends on every road staying open.

How Fuel Gets to You
Mobile fueling or bulk delivery: which fits your Philadelphia site?
Three delivery formats. We’ll quote whichever fits your volume, site access and cost target.
Wet-Hose Fueling
Mobile fleet fueling
Overnight or day shift, fuel direct to each tank
A driver pulls into your yard after hours, fuels every truck or piece of equipment directly, logs each fill, and clears out before your crews arrive. No staff required on site.
Best for: Trucking fleets, delivery yards, rental fleets and service vehicles.
Tank Wagon Delivery
On-site tank fills
20 – 4,400 gallons per drop · same-day or scheduled
A smaller delivery truck fills your day tank, jobsite bulk tank or generator. The flexible option when volume varies or site access is tight.
Best for: Construction sites, generator refills, day tanks and smaller bulk storage.
Transport Load
Bulk transport delivery
Full transport loads to 7,500+ gallons · scheduled
Tractor-trailer delivery straight into large bulk storage. The lowest cost per gallon for high-volume buyers.
Best for: Data centers, large industrial sites, agriculture and rail yards.

Philadelphia FAQ
Philadelphia fuel delivery questions, answered
Do you fuel equipment on the Bellwether District site?
Yes. We deliver dyed off-road diesel and wet-hose excavators, loaders, cranes and generators on active job sites, including large redevelopment sites in South Philadelphia. Give us the gate, the site contact and the equipment list, and dispatch will set up a schedule.
Can you fuel drayage and yard equipment near the PhilaPort terminals?
Yes. We fuel drayage tractors, yard trucks and reefer units where they're parked, so drivers don't have to cross town to a truck stop between port turns.
What happens to my fuel supply if I-95 closes again?
When I-95 shut down at Cottman Avenue in 2023, the city detoured traffic onto State Road, Tacony Street and Aramingo Avenue. Our dispatch runs 24/7/365 and plans routes around closures, and keeping your tanks topped off ahead of time is the best protection against a slow delivery.
Do you deliver generator fuel in flood-prone parts of the city?
Yes. We deliver diesel for standby generators and can schedule top-offs before a named storm. After Ida, check tanks near the Schuylkill for water; we offer fuel polishing and lab testing.
Do you deliver fuel 24/7 in Philadelphia?
Yes. FuelGo dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call 800-720-4546 any time, or request a quote online and a dispatcher replies within the hour.

Sales and local taxes are extra where they apply. Using dyed diesel on public roads is illegal. See diesel taxes by state →
Do you offer emergency fuel delivery in Philadelphia?
Yes. If a generator is running low or a site is about to run dry, call 800-720-4546 and a dispatcher will confirm what we can get to you and when.
Can you set up recurring scheduled deliveries?
Yes. Most customers start with a one-time delivery and move to a recurring schedule, so tanks, generators and fleets are topped up before they run low, without anyone having to call it in.
Do you rent fuel tanks?
Yes. We rent diesel and gasoline tanks from 119 to 17,000 gallons, with pumps, meters and hose fitted, and refills on a schedule. See our fuel tank rental page for sizes.
Do you have smaller trucks for tight sites?
Yes. Smaller delivery trucks reach tight urban sites, parking structures and jobsites where a full-size tanker can’t fit.
What payment options do you accept?
Credit cards, ACH and checks. Credit terms are available for qualifying commercial accounts. Ask your dispatcher for details.
