Contracts
We do have fuel and propane contracts available. Fuel contracts are done on a day by day basis. Fuel and propane has become so volatile that to take the coop's risk out of it we had to make this change. If interested in a contract please contact the elevator at 970-334-2204.
Fuel
Are you buying the right diesel fuel? Ruby-Fieldmaster diesel fuel exceeds all standards for any make or model of diesel engines. The straight #2 diesel has had the most of the sulfur taken out for pollution reasons. The sulfur was the lubricant for your engine. Without this lubricant it can become very hard on the injectors, etc. Ruby-Fieldmaster has an additive package that contains this lubricant. It also gives you a higher cetane for quicker, easier starts and will not ge
Oil Shuttle
We do have an oil shuttle program. This is a program that entitles you to a 120 gallon shuttle that is filled on a route with savings on your oil. The tanks and stand are at no cost to you. You do have to take 100 gallon of oil per year to qualify for this program. Cenex will not fill just any container in fear of contamination, as they do warrant their product. You will appreciate the convenience that comes from no longer handling messy drums. If interested talk to Phil Schu
April 30, 2019
April 30, 2019 we will be closing at noon for our year-end inventory count. Please plan your fuel and feed orders with this in mind.
Propane Safety Line Checks
Propane safety line checks are a very important part of our propane business. We do about two hundred fifty per year. Businesses, churches, schools anything that have gatherings must be done every year. Residential homes need to be done every five years. This past week we ran across five separate homes that had leaks. Two were severe enough we installed new lines from the home to the propane tank. With this all said we feel these safety checks are very important. These checks
Propane Routes
We are encouraging all of our customers to be on a route or order enough gallons to make it worth our delivery. We have run into problems with customers not wanting to be on routes and ordering 100 to 200 gallons of propane. We lose money delivering to these people in the country. You do not save money by doing it this way either. We have taken on a larger territory and we do not have time to stop and run out for one person. Please make plans to be put on a route or order eno
Propane
Don't run out of propane. Serious safety hazards, including fire or explosion can result. If an appliance valve or a gas line is left open when the propane supply runs out, a leak could occur when the system is recharged with propane. Air and moisture could get into an empty or depleted storage tank, which can cause rust build-up inside the tank. Rust can decrease the concentration of the odor of propane, making it harder to smell. If your propane tank runs out of gas, any pi
Feed
