We buy transmix & off-spec fuel

Bad fuel in your tanks? We'll buy it.

Cross-drop, water in the tank, fuel that won't pass spec: TransmixSOLUTION buys it from you. We pump it out, haul it away and handle the paperwork. You make one call and get paid, instead of paying a disposal bill.

The problem

Sooner or later, every station ends up with fuel it can't sell

It's rarely your fault, and it's always your problem. Pumps are down, customers are driving past, and you're left finding someone to pull the product, test it and take it away.

Cross-drops

A driver drops diesel into the unleaded tank, or the wrong grade. Now you have thousands of gallons of mixed product.

Water & phase separation

Bad fill caps, high water tables, or ethanol blends that phase-separate and leave a layer you can't dispense.

Off-spec & stale fuel

Product that failed a state inspection, sat too long, or picked up contamination and no longer meets spec.

Closures & conversions

Pulling a tank, switching grades or brands, or selling the site, with product still sitting underground.

A better way

Stop paying to get rid of fuel that still has value

Transmix is still mostly gasoline and diesel, so it still has value. Most station owners pay to have it hauled off. We buy it from you instead.

THE OLD WAY

  • Call around for a tank contractor while pumps sit idle
  • Pay to pump out and haul away as a disposal cost
  • Paying to get rid of fuel that was still worth something
  • Piece together paperwork for the state, the carrier and insurance

THE TRANSMIXSOLUTION WAY

  • One call. We coordinate the pump-out and the haul
  • We sample and test the product, then make you a cash offer
  • You approve the offer before anything leaves your site
  • Lab results, bills of lading and a payment statement in one packet
How it works

From problem tank to payment in four steps

01

Tell us what you've got

Call or send the form: location, product, roughly how many gallons, and what happened.

02

We sample & quote

We test what's in the tank and make you an offer, so you know the number up front.

03

We pump out & haul

We pull the product and flush the lines, and we coordinate with your state inspector if one is required.

04

You get paid

We pay you for the fuel, and you get a complete paper trail for your records, carrier or insurer.

Why it pays

Transmix isn't waste. We pay for it.

The gasoline and diesel in a mixed or off-spec tank still have value. We buy them from you, so a bad-fuel problem stops being a write-off.

  • A real offer, not a disposal invoice. Volume, mix and water content set the price, and you see it before we pump.
  • Lab-tested, not guessed. The offer is based on what's actually in the tank.
  • Responsible by design. Your fuel gets recovered as usable product instead of being burned or dumped.

FAQ

Questions station owners ask us

What exactly is transmix?

Transmix is a mix of fuels, usually gasoline and diesel, that no longer meets the spec for any single product. At stations it usually comes from cross-drops, contamination and off-spec deliveries. It still contains usable fuel, which is why we pay for it.

How much will you pay for my fuel?

That depends on the volume, the gasoline/diesel mix, water content and current fuel prices. We test a sample and make you an offer before anything leaves your site. If a load is mostly water, we'll tell you that up front too, so there are no surprises.

A carrier cross-dropped my tank. Who pays?

The carrier that made the misdelivery is usually responsible. We document the pump-out, volumes and lab results so your claim is easy to support, and the product value can offset what's owed.

Do I need to notify the state?

Many states require you to shut down the affected dispensers and notify Weights & Measures, and some require an inspector on site for the pump-out or retest before you reopen. We help you follow your state's process and keep the documentation.

Is there a minimum volume?

Tell us what you have. Smaller volumes can often be consolidated with other loads to make the economics work.
