When it comes to fuel quality, there’s often a misconception that branded retail gas stations sell a much better product than unbranded fuel stations like CFN cardlocks. In reality, all fuel sold in the U.S., whether it’s from a branded or unbranded location must meet the same strict government quality standards. The only real difference between brands comes down to the additives they choose to mix in.

In this guide, we’ll explain how fuel quality is regulated, what types of fuel CFN stations carry, and why CFN fuel can cost less than retail while offering the same fuel quality. 

Finding CFN gas stations is easy, whether you’re at your desk or on the road. The CFN site locator and FleetWide mobile app make it simple for drivers and fleet managers to locate nearby cardlock fuel sites, filter for specific fuel types, and plan routes efficiently.

In this guide, we’ll cover four quick ways to find CFN gas stations near you, from your computer, your phone, or directly through your P-Fleet account.

In this guide, we’ll break down the key differences between CFN and retail gas stations and highlight the five biggest advantages CFN cardlock locations offer over retail fuel stations. 

When it comes to managing fuel expenses, CFN card controls give fleet managers complete control over their company's fuel purchases.

This guide will show you how to calculate off road diesel prices near you, where to find fuel stations that carry off road diesel at the pump, and what you need to purchase off road diesel at fuel stations.
