Question 1

What types of manufacturing operations do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve a broad range of Southeast Florida manufacturing: food and beverage processing plants in Doral, Medley, and Miramar; pharmaceutical and medical device facilities with HVAC-critical production environments; building materials producers (concrete batch plants, aggregate operations, aluminum extrusion); plastics and packaging converters; printing and commercial finishing operations; aviation and marine component fabrication; and light industrial assembly. The common thread is a facility with backup generators, diesel-powered material handling (forklifts, yard trucks), and outbound logistics fleets that all depend on reliable fuel supply to keep production running and product moving.

Question 2

What is the difference between boiler fuel and generator fuel delivery?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: Exigo Fuels delivers ULSD (clear and dyed) and gasoline — the fuels used by diesel generators, forklifts, yard trucks, and fleet vehicles at manufacturing plants. We do not deliver #4 or #6 heavy fuel oil used by some older industrial boilers. If your plant boiler runs on #2 ULSD (most modern industrial boiler installations do), we can supply it using the same specification delivered for generators. If your plant has older boiler equipment running on heavier fuel oil grades, that is outside our supply range and should be sourced from a specialized heavy-oil distributor. For generator fuel, we deliver ASTM D975 ULSD with batch documentation supporting standby-generator testing and regulatory compliance.

Question 3

Can you provide documentation compatible with SQF, HACCP, or FDA food-plant audits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Food processing and pharmaceutical facilities operate under audit regimes (SQF, HACCP, FDA GMP, FSSC 22000) that require documented control over inputs and adjacent utilities, including fuel used by on-site equipment. Our delivery documentation includes product specification (ASTM D975 ULSD), batch number, supplier chain-of-custody reference, delivery personnel identification, time and temperature, and volume. Physical separation between fuel delivery routes and food-contact production zones is coordinated with plant safety management. Drivers follow plant-specific GMP access protocols, use designated non-food-zone routes, and wear PPE required by the facility. We do not claim specific SQF or HACCP certification — we provide the underlying documentation that auditors ask for when reviewing on-site fuel operations.

Question 4

How do you coordinate with 24/7 plant operations and shift schedules?

Accepted Answer

Continuous-operations plants schedule fuel deliveries into planned maintenance windows, off-shift periods, or non-disruptive routes that avoid production floor traffic. For a three-shift facility, we typically deliver during the shift-change window (roughly 6–7 AM, 2–3 PM, or 10–11 PM) when yard traffic is lowest and supervisor contact is available. For 24/7 food or pharma plants with sensitive cleanroom or refrigeration zones, we stage deliveries in yard or utility areas away from production. Plant managers set the approved access windows; we dispatch within those windows. Off-hours and weekend emergency generator fueling is available 24/7 for plant downtime prevention.

Question 5

Can you test fuel quality and provide lab documentation?

Accepted Answer

Every delivery includes ASTM D975 batch documentation from the source terminal, which is the standard compliance evidence for diesel fuel quality (sulfur content, flash point, cloud point, cetane). For plants with specific additional testing requirements — microbial contamination testing on bulk-tank stored fuel, water separation analysis, or periodic fuel-system audits — we coordinate with an independent petroleum testing lab and facilitate sampling during delivery. We are transparent about what we do in-house (supply with batch documentation) versus what requires a third-party petroleum lab (advanced diagnostic testing). Manufacturing plants running generators on long-duration standby should schedule periodic fuel quality testing regardless of supplier because stored diesel degrades over time.

Question 6

Do you handle both plant equipment fueling and outbound fleet fueling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manufacturing plants typically need multiple fuel categories handled together: (1) ULSD for diesel forklifts and powered industrial trucks in warehouse and production areas, (2) dyed off-road diesel for yard tractors and spotters moving trailers at loading docks (tax-exempt for qualifying non-road use), (3) ULSD for backup generator sets, and (4) ULSD and gasoline for outbound finished-goods delivery trucks. We consolidate these into a single plant fueling contract with appropriate documentation for each category. Yard equipment can be filled vehicle-by-vehicle or from a dedicated yard bulk tank; finished-goods fleet uses the same depot-based approach described in our transportation services.

Question 7

How fast can you respond when a plant generator needs fuel during a grid outage?

Accepted Answer

Our 1-hour critical response tier covers plant generator refueling during active grid outages — whether the outage is hurricane-related, a regional power failure, or scheduled utility work that overran its window. Pre-storm periods are when this matters most: a manufacturing plant whose generator runs dry during a multi-day outage faces refrigeration loss, production halt, and potential product loss for temperature-sensitive operations. Contracted plant customers get priority dispatch and pre-storm fuel reserves. We coordinate with plant facilities teams during active outages to keep generators continuously fueled, including overnight refills as runtime requires. Call (305) 900-6725 for emergency plant generator dispatch.
