Refuel the gas tank without going to the gas station

With the advances of technology many changes have happened in many industries, but the way we fill vehicles with gas/petrol is the same old practice that was followed one hundred years before, writes Anand Rajendran.

Now with the expansion of the sharing economy, there are many companies that offer an on-demand service that comes directly to the customer’s place to fill the tank.

The on-demand fuel facility is a convenient service and there are many investors ready to back this service.

The company started the service in the Silicon Valley in the Redwood City, Palo Alto and the Menlo Park. It planned to launch the service in San Francisco, but the Fire department does not allow it because they feel that it is unsafe and that their fire code does not allow these services.

Any delivery truck that goes for the on demand service has 334 gallons of fuel, two fire extinguishers, a gas pump, two orange traffic cones, a bucket of chalk powder to dust on the spills along with a receipt printer.

Yoshi – Never go to another gas station

The on-demand fuel service provided by this company makes it easy for the customers to fill with fuel when they are on a busy schedule and are unable to go to the gas station.

The main aspect is that the customers need not be empty handed, instead they can fill the required gallons of gas because the company takes care of the services.

A commuter wastes lot of time at the fuel station filling their vehicle, thus the time spend at the gas station can be utilised for other purposes because the on-demand gasoline service automatically refuels the vehicle each week. Customers need not pay an extra penny other than the cost of the fuel.

In general, the cost of refuelling is less than other services, but if the customer pays $15 and becomes a member of the company, then they can get more benefits for each of the refuelling processes. The best part about this company is that they respect the customers and their vehicle and offers a secure and safe service.
