Hospitals, Blue Plains and the 2012 derecho in DC
In Washington, much of the diesel that matters sits in standby tanks. It backs up hospitals, water infrastructure and government buildings that have to stay open whatever the grid does. MedStar Washington Hospital Center is home to the MedSTAR Trauma Center, a Level I trauma facility. A trauma center can’t stop when the power does.
DC Water’s Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant, on the Potomac in Southwest DC, is the largest plant of its kind in the world. It serves the District and parts of suburban Maryland and Virginia. Its pumps and treatment equipment are exactly the load an outage plan has to cover.
The routing catch is the 3rd Street Tunnel. It carries I-395 through the middle of downtown, and hazardous materials are banned from it. Fuel loads headed downtown or to Capitol Hill take surface routes around it. Delivery windows need to reflect that.
What the 2012 derecho taught
On June 29, 2012, a derecho swept from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. In the Washington area, more than a million people lost electricity. Across the region, some customers were out for more than a week. A generator tank sized for an overnight outage was not enough.
Which FuelGo services fit Washington
- Hospitals and government buildings: scheduled generator fueling, plus emergency fuel delivery during outages.
- Fuel that sits: fuel polishing, tank cleaning and lab fuel testing keep standby tanks ready.
- Fleets and job sites: mobile fleet fueling and off-road diesel. See military and government.

How Fuel Gets to You
Mobile fueling or bulk delivery: which fits your Washington 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.

Washington FAQ
Washington fuel delivery questions, answered
Can a fuel truck use the 3rd Street Tunnel on I-395?
No. Hazardous materials and vehicles over 13 feet are barred from the 3rd Street Tunnel, so fuel deliveries into downtown and Capitol Hill are routed around it on surface streets and the District's designated truck routes. Build that into delivery windows.
Do you refuel hospital and facility generators in DC on a schedule?
Yes. We top off generator day tanks and main tanks on a set schedule and run 24/7/365 dispatch for outages. After the 2012 derecho, 46% of Pepco customers polled said they were without power for three to six days, which is the run time a hospital or critical facility should plan its fuel around.
Do you deliver fuel 24/7 in Washington?
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.

How much is diesel tax in District of Columbia?
On-road (clear) diesel in District of Columbia carries $0.6053 per gallon in combined federal and state taxes and fees, and off-road (dyed) diesel $0.0653 per gallon, as of October 5, 2026. 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 Washington?
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.
