Our Complete Guide: Wholesale Fuel Delivery and Business Services

Fuel prices and supply chain or delivery challenges can impact your business in the blink of an eye. Your business needs reliable wholesale fuel delivery, control over price fluctuations, and a consistent, quality supply of fuel to keep your operation running, and your fuel budget manageable.

PepUp has been delivering wholesale fuels to our commercial customers for six decades, and it all started with a single poultry farm in Friendship, Maryland. When Lee McMahan bought that first used heating oil truck to make sure his chickens stayed warm through the winter, he naturally started hauling oil for neighboring farmers who also needed a reliable source of heating oil.

Today, PepUp has expanded our wholesale fuel delivery to more than just local poultry farms, but our focus remains the same: your business depends on reliable fuel delivery, and we’re committed to being that partner you can always count on to keep your business fueled up and running.

The PepUp team is committed to helping your business thrive, and with an expanded local storage capacity, we are prepared to handle your wholesale fuel delivery needs.

Our wholesale customers rely on PepUp for a variety of top-quality bulk fuels.

Propane, a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, consists of hydrocarbons like propane and butane. It is extracted from raw natural gas using refrigeration and pressure. PepUp delivers the highest quality propane, often referred to as “consumer-grade” propane. In the Greater Delmarva region, propane is second only to heating oil for commercial and residential heating.

PepUp is the top Delmarva provider of high-quality, bulk propane fuel delivery for homes and businesses throughout our region. Our supply of consumer-grade propane is suitable for propane-powered vehicles and heavy equipment, home and commercial heating systems, and restaurants using propane cooking appliances.

Heating oil has been a reliable source of indoor heat since the early 20th century, and is common in the Mid-Atlantic region. Derived from crude oil, it is refined to create a safe and reliable heat source. Known for its ability to generate consistent, comfortable warmth during harsh winters, heating oil has powered countless homes and businesses across cold climates for decades.

Heating oils today are about 95% cleaner than they were 50 years ago, and provide energy-efficient heat during those surprise Delmarva cold snaps. Heating oil is also affordable, and PepUp service technicians and delivery drivers are highly experienced when it comes to the safe delivery and storage of heating oil for both residential and commercial use.

Widely used for its efficiency in cold-weather applications, kerosene is a more refined petroleum derivative than heating oil and tends to burn hotter. K-1 kerosene is the purest form of the fuel, and is used locally in some heating systems and fleet engines, and other heating applications.

PepUp specializes in custom soy biodiesel blends, a clean burning fuel that is renewable and domestically produced. Biodiesel can be blended at any level with petroleum to create a fuel that can often be used in any equipment that consumes regular diesel with few or no modifications.

PepUp offers the largest distribution network for soy-based biodiesel in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Custom blends of soy biodiesel can be created to customer specifications. From B2 to B99.9, the product can be delivered in quantities as small as 500 gallons to as much as 7,500 gallons.

Here’s a comparison of a few typical biodiesel grades PepUp provides:

B5 (5% Biodiesel, 95% Petroleum Diesel)

• Use Cases: Everyday vehicles, commercial fleets, marine applications, and agricultural equipment.

B20 (20% Biodiesel, 80% Petroleum Diesel)

• Use Cases: Alternative fuel used in commercial and government fleets, buses, delivery trucks, and municipal vehicles.

B50 (50% Biodiesel, 50% Petroleum Diesel)

• Use Cases: Alternative fuel used in certain fleet operations committed to sustainability, specific pilot projects, or controlled environments.

B100 (100% Biodiesel; No petroleum content)*

• Use Cases: Alternative fuel used in agricultural, industrial, and municipal fleet applications, government and educational research fleets, and controlled-use scenarios.

*B100 is available at our Federalsburg office for drive-up customers.

Machines and equipment that run on diesel still power many Mid-Atlantic businesses. PepUp provides wholesale ultra-low sulfur diesel and off-road diesel for fleet fuels, gas stations, commercial fisheries and maritime fleets, farm use, and other businesses that require regular large deliveries.

Powering internal combustion engines since the late 19th Century, gasoline still powers travel and business throughout our region. From fleet vehicles to generators and even gas stations, PepUp delivers the gasoline that keeps the Mid-Atlantic moving and working.

Most modern gasoline is actually gasohol, a blend of gasoline and ethanol. For engines that require the clean-burning efficiency of gasoline without ethanol, PepUp offers the purer version: ethanol-free gasoline, an alternative vehicle fuel available in large quantities for our wholesale fuel customers.

The PepUp fleet has grown quite a bit in the last 60 years. From one heating oil truck and one owner/delivery driver, the PepUp team now includes 25 full-time drivers and 29 transport trucks, specializing in bulk delivery of all the fuels our neighbors need to stay in business.
