Construction sites in southwestern Ontario use a mix of fuel cubes (rented), on-site wheel-to-wheel refueling, and coloured (dyed) off-road diesel where eligibility holds. This page absorbs the previously-standalone service cards covering those patterns. Section anchors mirror the prior slugs.
Diesel fuel coloured red and chemically marked under the Ontario Fuel Tax Act, exempt from provincial fuel tax, and restricted to non-taxable uses such as agricultural equipment, unlicensed construction equipment, stationary engines, marine commercial use, and heating. Functionally identical to clear diesel, but visibly red.
In Ontario, the official statutory term is "coloured fuel" (Fuel Tax Act). Industry and customers also say "dyed diesel," "marked diesel," or "red diesel." Storage tanks and dispensers must carry the ministry's coloured-fuel labels. Mixing with clear fuel renders the entire batch unusable in licensed vehicles.
Rental or sale of portable, double-walled fuel storage containers (commonly 500–2,000 L "fuel cubes" or skid tanks) placed at construction sites, remote work areas, or temporary operations to store diesel for on-site equipment. The marketer typically delivers, services, and refills the cube and removes it at job end.
Western Global TransCube range: 1,000 L (10TCG), 2,000 L (20TCG), 5,000 L, 10,000 L. Built to UN 31A/Y, UL/ULC-S601-0, and UL 142; Transport Canada approved for road transport while filled. Lockable equipment cabinet houses pump, meter, dispense connections.
Direct-to-equipment fuelling — the supplier's truck dispenses diesel or DEF straight into vehicle and equipment fuel tanks at the customer's yard, farm, or job site rather than into a stationary storage tank. Often called "wet-hosing" or "wheel-to-wheel."
Itemized delivery slips listing fuel volumes by piece of equipment are standard. Construction and fleet customers save labour, paperwork, and equipment downtime when fuel comes to the equipment overnight rather than having operators chase the pump in the morning.
