Our emergency fuel management program ensures businesses stay operational during power outages and other emergencies.
An aging power system, rising vandalism, and extreme weather contribute to frequent power outages. Critical organizations, such as healthcare facilities, municipalities, and data centers, can take control during these crises. Diesel generators remain reliable backup power sources, and Christensen’s Emergency Fuel Management (EFM) Program ensures your generator stays fueled, primed, and in top condition.
Outage Facts
Washington State ranks among the top five states with the highest power outages.
Mainly due to aging infrastructure, severe weather, and vandalism. Nearby states, Oregon and Idaho are not far from risk. Recent incidents include a 2021 heatwave causing widespread outages and six power station attacks in Washington and Oregon on Christmas day in 2022.
Don’t Take Unknown Risks!
Backup diesel generators are cost-effective, reliable, and fuel-efficient.
However, refueling your generator every winter is the bare minimum and a major risk. Without leak checks and fuel samples, you’re gambling with your operation’s lifeline, betting that the fuel inside has not experienced contamination (this includes rainwater) or degradation of fuel quality. These are a recipe for a nonworking generator or worse, impending damage.
Calling for a generator fuel delivery in the event of an emergency is typically too late. As an emergency fuel distributor, when a crisis occurs, we’re already out delivering to everyone on our EFM priority list.
