Bell Fuel & Tank Services: Serving Gas Stations & Fuel Distributors

Gas stations and commercial fuel distributors have different concerns on  fuel storage than end users. For them, it's not a case of storing fuels on any kind of long-term basis for later use. Diesel fuels and gasolines are there to be sold as quickly as possibly. The margins are extremely tight, and fuel that’s sitting around is cutting into those margins. It's rare for fuels in their system to hang around for longer than a handful of days.

Yet, even with these differences, gas stations and other types of fuel distributors are no different than those end users who store fuels on a longer term basis for their own use. For all of them, fuel is a means to an end whose value comes from how the fuel enables them to do something of value. For fleets, the value is in the work their fuel does for them through their engines. For gas stations and fuel distrobutors, stored fuel is a commodity that represents revenue and generates customers.

Customer Satisfaction Is The Lifeblood For Gas Stations & Fuel Distributors

Satisfied customers are the life blood of gas stations and fuel distributors. What do these customers expect when doing business with them?

They expect..... their expectations to be met. Expectations of consistent performance and quality from fuel that performs the same way for them every time they use it.

If those expectations aren’t met, customers go elsewhere. And you know it’s much more expensive to attract new customers and win old ones back than it is to keep existing ones happy and satisfied. Hence the supreme importance of keeping your customer base happy.

What can threaten this ultimate goal?
