GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- Mansfield Oil has introduced Mansfield GenPro, which it said is the first generator fuel supply solution with national scale. Quality and supply issues related to fuel are among the top reasons that power generators fail, the company said. Rob McGee, a fuel director with Verizon, found this out the hard way last year when storms threatened his 72 generators. "I called local fuel suppliers. All of them were out, and some of them had evacuated their trucks," he said.
"Mansfield GenPro not only found me fuel, they ran supply 24/7 and made sure our generators [image-nocss] never stopped running," he added.
According to Tim Jones, Mansfield's national account executive managing the company's Verizon relationship, "We're licensed to supply fuel in any stateunlike most companies that cannot distribute fuel outside of their state or region, and chances are that when a location is hit with a storm their local supplier is suffering right along with them."
While local fuel providers may be incapacitated, Mansfield Oil provides product from more than 900 supply points across 49 states delivered by more than 450 bulk fuel carriers and distributors.
"After Hurricane Ike hit the Houston refining complex last year, the outages lasted so long that we stretched our supply lines farther than ever, hauling fuel from Baltimore into much of the Southeast including as far as Florida," said J. Alexander, president and COO of Mansfield Oil. "This year, we have expanded our emergency reserves, storing fuel at strategic terminals that are far enough inland to be out of harm's way but close enough to service the entire Atlantic and Gulf Coasts efficiently."
Gainesville, Ga.-based Mansfield Oil focuses on optimizing and controlling fuel-related costs with local service, nationwide. The company annually delivers 2 billion gallons of fuel to corporations, fleets, retailers, convenience stores and government agencies.
