“We are excited to expand our relationship with AFS from the construction fueling industry to the waterways. Delivering our customers the highest quality marine diesel and gasoline possible is our joint goal.”
– Rick Workman – President, Taylor Oil
“AFS continues to be a critical partner in the success of my business. Back in 1990, when we first experienced problems with outside tanks, he personally stepped forward to help solve the problem and educate me on the critical issue of fuel quality.”
– Charlie Ugiletto – President, Cubby Oil Company
“With AFS fuel conditioners, we keep our fleet on the road profitably. It’s important to have 24/7 access to high-quality fuel conditioners, testing, and lab services.”
– Kris Lee, Weaver Energy, Lilitz, PA
“Every minute a truck isn’t running is damaging to the bottom line and the brand. I’ve had trucks downed before, and it’s difficult because I’ve got my own customers counting on me to get a load where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. That’s important. We don’t have those problems anymore. MPG loss, shortened filter life, regen issues—none of it.“
– Eric Wyson, Owner, E. J. Wyson Trucking Co.
“We have had very good results using the AFS fuel additives at several locations now. We have been able to double the life of fuel filters which pays for the product. In additive, we are conservatively seeing a .5% improvement in better fuel mileage. With AFS working with our local fuel suppliers, the results are good. In addition, while it is still early, we seem to have a reduction in fuel-related issues on the newer EPA engines.”

“Managing winter fuel can be a challenge requiring a cold weather fuel treatment partner like Advanced Fuel Solutions. The AFS folks have helped Main Care Energy meet those home heating and on /off road challenges head on!”
– David Borger – Vice President – Main Care Energy
“With our heating oil additive, HeatDoc™, we are able to stabilize the fuel over a long period of time—that’s the time of year when the heating system isn’t being used—call it April to October. During this time, moisture can come from the outside into the tank. By stabilizing the fuel with HeatDoc™, we’re able to ensure when the burner finally calls for oil, they have a good quality fuel. Fuel quality is not an issue for us anymore.”
– Mark Brideau – President, Brideau Energy
“We’ve been working with AFS for many years now. Paul’s extremely knowledgeable about additives – he’s always educating and innovating, but really it’s the energy, enthusiasm and proactive approach to service that sets him and his company apart. I feel we couldn’t do better with any other company.”
– Terminal Operations, Global Partners
