We drop a ULC-listed double-walled cube on the site, refill it on a cadence built around the burn, and pick it up at job end. Standing-route bulk delivery into the cube across Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Stratford, Guelph, London, and Woodstock. Dyed diesel for the off-road equipment, clear for the service truck if you need it, the certification documents and the Ministry-issued labels go on at install.
A rented fuel cube refilled by bulk delivery versus on-site refuelling, a stationary yard tank, or cardlock for the service truck. Each one is the right answer for a different shape of site, and the shape of yours usually tells you which to pick.

The cube is built to CAN/ULC-S601 — the standard for shop-fabricated aboveground steel tanks holding flammable and combustible liquids. Double-wall construction gives the cube its own spill envelope. When the cube is moved on the road with fuel inside, CSA B621/B626 governs the transport portion under the Transport Canada portable-tank rules.
Dyed (coloured) diesel for unlicensed off-road equipment — excavators, dozers, light towers, compactors, the things doing the work. Clear diesel for anything carrying a plate under the Highway Traffic Act. The bright-line rule is Fuel Tax Act s. 2(7.1); the implementing regulation is R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 464. A cube storing dyed diesel carries the Ministry-issued labels and tags and shows the red CFA Colour-Symbol band; clear shows white.
Once the cube is in service, the site operator is in the position of an on-site fuel storage operator. The Ontario Fire Code, Part 4 governs siting — setbacks from buildings, property lines, ignition sources, and watercourses, and secondary containment where the Code prescribes it for the volume on hand. We handle the delivery and the refills under TDG; a spill from the cube once it’s on the pad falls to the site operator under the EPA. Your rep walks through the siting with you on install.
One rep on the account year-round. The cube delivered on day one, refilled on the cadence that matches the burn, picked up at the end of the job. The rest, below.

These are the shapes of operation where a cube is usually the right fit in southwestern Ontario. Yours probably resembles one of them, or sits somewhere between two.
Excavation, paving, concrete. The equipment moves between sites week to week, but during the work on a given site the cube sits in one place and feeds the crew. Skid steers, small loaders, light towers, small compactors. A cube refilled on a weekly cadence is the common setup.
One project, one site, several months to a year. A real daily burn but not a heavy one — light towers running through the dark, gensets on the temporary power, the excavator on the next phase. One cube, one cadence, one invoice; the cube comes off the pad when the job is closing.
On-site refuelling on the main site where the heavy equipment lives, cubes at the secondary sites where the sub-trades work. One supplier, one account, one rep across the whole project portfolio. Multi-site billing rolls into a single statement; per-site allocation runs as the cost-coding requires.
A named rep takes the call, not a queue. Tell us where the site is, what equipment is on it, and how long the project runs. We can usually tell you in one conversation whether a cube is the right shape — and if it isn’t, which of the other three is.
Standing routes across nine regions. Same rep year-round; off-hours emergency dispatch through the same number.
