Diesel: The Commercial Landscapers Alternative Fuel

When it comes to powering commercial landscaping equipment, most companies choose gasoline by default. But many landscaping business owners today are looking for fueling options to set them apart from the crowd and keep their business one step ahead of the competition.

One of those options is commercial diesel fuel.

Although diesel and gasoline are both processed from crude oil, the two fuels differ in the way they burn. This difference gives diesel fuel some distinct advantages over gasoline as a fuel for commercial landscapers.

What Diesel Fuel Offers

With diesel-powered equipment, you’ll get:

• Higher efficiency – Dense diesel fuel burns more efficiently than gasoline, which means that less of it is needed to generate the same power. You get better fuel economy with a diesel engine, which translates to less money spent on fuel – even if the fuel itself costs a bit more.
• More durability – Diesel equipment can last twice as long as gas powered equipment, in part because diesel fuel as a lubricant on the engine, reducing wear and tear.
• Higher torque – Diesel engines produce more torque than their gasoline counterparts – a big dvantage for landscapers. Why? Because torque is responsible for the force of the spinning blades of a lawnmower; the higher the force, the more grass you can cut.
• Greener performance – Carbon dioxide emissions are 40 percent lower from a diesel truck than a gas truck. Newer diesel engines also reduce particulate emissions – another advantage of diesel over gasoline.

Of course, all these advantages are also true when you use diesel fuel to power your larger commercial landscaping equipment and vehicles – a big reason why many landscaping business owners choose diesel for their trucks, backhoes, and more.
