Good afternoon,

I am currently exploring back up solutions in the event that our on site fuel site has a catastrophic failure. We have two 10,000 gallon UST's for unleaded and one 20,000 gallon UST for diesel.

I am curious what everybody else has for a backup plan in the event of a failure at your on site location. I have been exploring WEX credit cards, to see if this is a viable option.

Please let me know of any other solutions I should potentially explore.
Thanks!

Sorry, finally registered.  We have 3 sites with both gasoline and diesel.  Our current plan is to have WEX as a back-up.  There are 48 cards distributed throughout the city that each department has control of a few and Finance holds the rest.  I personally have 2, which is down from the 6 we had a few years ago.  These cards are also used for fuel when vehicles are out of the area for training or conference purposes, or rental vehicles.

I will be installing 2 new sites (replacements) in the near future, and my catastrophe plan will be to install diesel generators at the site to run the pumps.  I am figuring if my pumps are down, all City stations are down, and I don't want the travel issues or long lines associated in this type of situation.  It's not perfect, but it is a start.

We recently removed our gasoline UST and got WEX cards.  There have been no issues with them at all.  Our backup plan before WEX cards was having an account with a nearby 24/7 gas station that has gasoline and diesel.
