Four Types of Fueling Stations:
One of these types of facilities will fit your needs
Public Stations
There are public propane pumps where you can pay with cash or credit.
Many U-Haul stores have propane pumps; and they are adding more each year in michigan and across the country.
Menards and other retailers are adding public propane pumps as well.
Key Card Networks
Fleets with limited space, or fleets needing more fueling locations along their routes can take advantage of this option with no infrastructure investment. Network refueling stations are often accessible 24/7 through a card lock system.
If a network is not currently available in your area, a propane supplier may create one for your fleet, if it’s large enough. Alternatively, multiple fleets can team up to provide adequate load for requesting a refueling network.
