One of the two new Consols Oils tankers delivering to properties and businesses on St Michael’s Mount in CornwallCopyright: Kernow Photography This month’s Cornish front cover star, Consols Oils, has entered its Isuzu Truck Forward N75.150 (M) Urban 7.5 tonners for the title of 2018 Fuel Oil News tanker of the year. 

Founded in 1954 by Arthur McMahon, Donegal Oil remains a family business with the founder’s grandson, also Arthur McMahon, being the present managing director

Two new 5,000 litre Isuzu trucks are joining the fleet at Consols Oils. 

Very impressed with the performance of its newest tanker, Knowsley-based Standard Fuel Oils has ordered two more. Fitted with Alpeco tank and metering equipment including the TE550 electronic register, the 5-compartment tanker, which is mounted on a MAN 6×4 chassis, was constructed by Road Tankers Northern and has been operational for over six months. The vehicle has proved so successful that Standard Fuel Oils have ordered a further two vehicles which are based on the powerful but economic Volvo chassis fitted with Alpeco’s advanced Truck III metering system. With a business ethos based entirely on good customer service, managing director, Nick Goodwin heads a team that has built an enviable local reputation. “We pride ourselves on our customer service and enjoy the support of a great team here. We always deliver at the earliest opportunity, usually the next day but endeavour to deliver the same day to those who find themselves without fuel, especially in the winter months. “The new vehicle has been a valued addition to our fleet and has proved so successful that we have ordered two more identical trucks from RTN.” www.standardfueloils.co.uk www.alpeco.co.uk DISCOVER WHICH TANKER WON THE 2014 FUEL OIL NEWS TANKER OF THE YEAR AWARD IN THE FEBRUARY ISSUE OF FUEL OIL NEWS!
