Detritus/Services/Fuel and DEF
Fuel, DEF, and lubricants
The hardest line to bolt onto a generic site services agreement, and the one most likely to be sourced separately. Diesel and gasoline delivery, on-site tank placement, diesel exhaust fluid, and lubricant refills, held on the same agreement as everything else.
| Product | Used for | Delivered as |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | Heavy equipment, generators, light towers, pumps. | On-site tank fills, or direct to equipment |
| Gasoline | Light equipment, site vehicles, small plant. | On-site tank fills or drum delivery |
| Diesel exhaust fluid | Any equipment with selective catalytic reduction. Consumed on a different cycle from diesel, which is why it gets missed. | Same delivery schedule as fuel |
| Lubricants and oil | Scheduled equipment servicing and refills. | Scheduled, or on request |
| Fuel tank placement | On-site storage sized against connected load and refuelling cadence. | Tank rental plus scheduled refill |
If you ask one question about jobsite fuel pricing, ask how the price is built. That applies whether you buy from us or anyone else.
A published index such as OPIS, plus an agreed margin, plus transportation. That moves with the market and you can audit it against a public number on any future invoice.
A flat delivered price per gallon gives you nothing to check against. Over an eighteen month build, with fuel moving the way it does, that is the difference between a rate you can defend internally and one you cannot.

Detritus unit records. 2026 has already passed all of 2025 with four months left. 38 deliveries per site on average, which is a standing refuel schedule rather than an emergency call.
Sanitation and waste coordinators typically stop at containers and units. Fuel needs different providers, different licensing, and different billing, so it gets carved out into its own relationship by default rather than by decision.
Once fuel is separate, so are the rate negotiation, the invoice, and the escalation path. You bought one point of contact for the site; now you have two. We keep fuel on the same agreement.
Most of what we place is part of a wider site program, but these lines can be ordered on their own. Tell us the site address, what you need, how often, and for how long. We come back with a delivery schedule and pricing.
If you already have sanitation or waste with us, this goes on the same agreement, the same invoice, and the same point of contact.
Who delivers fuel to a construction site?
Detritus arranges on-site diesel and gasoline delivery, diesel exhaust fluid, and lubricant supply for construction and industrial sites in all 50 states, including fuel tank placement and scheduled refills for equipment, generators, and light towers. Fuel can be ordered on its own or held on the same agreement as sanitation, waste, and water.
How should jobsite fuel be priced?
Ask for a formula rather than a delivered price: a published index such as OPIS, plus an agreed margin, plus transportation. You can check any future invoice against a public number. A flat delivered price per gallon gives you nothing to check against, which matters over a long build.
Can fuel be delivered on the same agreement as sanitation and waste?
Yes. Fuel is often carved out into its own vendor relationship, bringing another rate negotiation, invoice, and escalation path with it. We can keep it on the same agreement as sanitation and waste, with one contact and one consolidated invoice.
Is diesel exhaust fluid delivered separately from diesel?
It can run on the same schedule. DEF is consumed on a different cycle from diesel, so sites that planned for fuel still wind up hunting for DEF at the last minute. We schedule both together.
What about lubricants and oil refills?
Lubricant and oil refills can stay on the same agreement too. On one program, the oil refills kept arriving late. We moved the work to a closer provider instead of making the site chase the original supplier.
