Diesel Fuel & Gasoline Delivery in Westchester, Putnam & Bronx County
Almeida Oil has provided diesel fuel delivery in Westchester, Putnam & Bronx County since 1986. We supply on-road and off-road diesel to commercial fleets, landscapers, contractors, nurseries, and facility operators into their storage tanks across the region — with custom scheduling for accounts that need more than a one-time fill.
We also supply gasoline for commercial customers — marinas, fleets, contractors with equipment that doesn't run on diesel, and facilities that maintain on-site fuel storage (no drive-ups please).
Our wholesale fuel terminal keeps supply stable and pricing competitive. We're not reselling product sourced from another distributor. We're delivering fuel we own, on our schedule, with no middleman between our pricing and yours.

Diesel Fuel Delivery Westchester Commercial Accounts Depend On
Running a business that depends on diesel means fuel supply is an operational issue, not just a convenience. A fleet sitting idle because the tank ran dry, a generator that can't run through a power outage, or construction equipment shut down mid-project — these aren't just inconveniences. They cost money and time.
We've spent four decades supplying diesel to businesses across northern Westchester and Putnam County. The reason commercial accounts stay with us isn't a contract — it's that we show up when we said we would, and we don't run short when demand spikes.
Family-owned and women-owned, Almeida Oil isn't structured like a regional chain. You get a real person on the phone when you call, and you're not rotating through a different account manager every year.
On-Road vs. Off-Road Diesel: What's the Difference?
Not all diesel is the same product, and using the wrong type carries real legal and financial risk. Here's how the two are distinguished:
On-Road Diesel
On-road diesel, also called clear diesel, is taxed fuel for vehicles that operate on public roads — delivery trucks, pickup trucks, service vans, box trucks, and any other highway-registered equipment. If your vehicle has a license plate and drives on public streets, it runs on on-road diesel.
Off-Road Diesel
Off-road diesel — commonly called dyed diesel because it contains a red dye added by federal requirement — is a fuel taxed at a lower rate and used for equipment that never operates on public roads. This includes excavators, skid steers, bulldozers, generators, irrigation pumps, tractors, and similar machinery. The lower cost reflects the absence of road-use taxes.
Federal law prohibits using off-road diesel in road-registered vehicles. Inspectors can test for the dye at any point; violations carry significant fines per gallon. When you call us to establish a diesel account, we'll confirm which product is appropriate for your application, and we can supply both types to accounts that operate mixed fleets.
Who We Deliver Diesel & Gasoline To
Landscapers and Nurseries
Landscaping and nursery operations in the Katonah and Bedford area run substantial equipment inventories — mowers, loaders, chippers, irrigation systems, and more. Most of that equipment runs on off-road diesel. Seasonal demand varies, and delivery timing matters when crews are scheduled and machines need to be fueled before a job.
We work with landscapers and nurseries to build a delivery schedule that fits their operating calendar, not ours. Diesel delivery in Katonah and Bedford are regular routes, and we're familiar with the types of properties and equipment common in those areas.
Builders and Construction Sites
Construction sites need reliable on-site fuel — off-road diesel for heavy equipment and generators, sometimes on-road diesel for registered work vehicles. Sites move, schedules shift, and demand isn't always predictable week to week.
We deliver to construction sites throughout Westchester and Putnam County that have an on-site storage tank. For longer projects, we can establish a standing delivery schedule and adjust frequency based on your site activity. Call us when a new project starts and we'll set up delivery before your initial tank runs low.
Commercial Fleets
Fleet accounts — whether you run five trucks or fifty — benefit from consolidated fuel supply with consistent pricing. We supply on-road diesel for fleets operating in Westchester and Putnam County, with delivery options that range from scheduled route fills to bulk delivery to the storage tank in your yard.
For fleet accounts with volume requirements, our wholesale terminal pricing provides a real cost advantage compared to pump prices or smaller distributors.
Backup Generators and Facilities
Commercial properties, healthcare facilities, data centers, and municipalities that maintain backup diesel generators need fuel on a known schedule — not just when the tank is almost empty. An untested generator that fails during a power outage because it ran dry is exactly the failure these systems are meant to prevent.
We deliver off-road diesel for generator tanks and can set up a scheduled maintenance program to keep your backup fuel inventory at the level your system requires.
Customized Delivery Scheduling for Commercial Accounts
A residential heating oil customer needs a fill every few weeks in winter. A commercial diesel customer might need weekly delivery, twice-weekly delivery, or a standing order that triggers above a certain volume threshold. The variables are different.
When you set up a commercial diesel account with us, we build a delivery schedule around your actual operation — equipment inventory, average daily consumption, storage capacity, and seasonality. For landscapers, that means heavier delivery cadence in spring through fall and lighter service in winter. For a construction site, it means adjusting to project phases.
Commercial accounts also get consolidated invoicing and the option to add additional fuel delivery services — heating oil or propane — to the same account.
Supply Reliability from a Wholesale Terminal
Most fuel distributors in Westchester buy product from a terminal and resell it. Almeida Oil operates its own 150,000 gallon wholesale fuel terminal.
During high-demand periods — a severe cold snap, a regional supply disruption, or the kind of late-season crunch that catches smaller dealers short — our commercial customers don't face allocation problems. We're not waiting on another company to release fuel to us. We have product and we dispatch from our own inventory.
Frequently Asked Questions About Diesel Delivery
What is the minimum delivery quantity for commercial diesel accounts?
Minimums vary based on account type, delivery location, and frequency. Regular commercial accounts typically work with us to find a delivery size that matches their storage capacity and operational schedule. For high-volume accounts with large tanks, bulk delivery at wholesale pricing may be available. Call us to discuss your situation — we work with accounts of different sizes and can structure delivery accordingly.
Can you deliver both on-road and off-road diesel to the same account?
Yes. Many commercial accounts — builders with both registered trucks and off-road equipment, landscapers who run both types — need both. We track fuel types by account and can deliver each on the same stop or separate schedules, depending on your storage setup and operational preference. We'll document the correct fuel designation for each tank clearly to avoid any compliance issues.
How do I know if off-road diesel is legal for my equipment?
Off-road diesel is legal for any equipment that doesn't operate on public roads and isn't registered for highway use. That includes most construction equipment, generators, agricultural machinery, and stationary pumps. Equipment with a valid highway registration must use taxed on-road diesel, regardless of where it primarily operates. If you're unsure about a specific piece of equipment, tell us the make and application when you call — we can help you confirm the right fuel type.
