Tennessee's busiest interstate and TVA's first blackouts
Serving Knox County
Knoxville sits where I-40 and I-75 come together, and it shows on the road. The West Knoxville corridor carries more than 200,000 vehicles a day, the busiest interstate stretch in Tennessee. TDOT is studying a 17-mile section from the I-40/I-75 interchange in Loudon County to I-640, looking at widening, choice lanes and traffic management. For fleets based along it, fueling in the yard beats fueling in that traffic.
The University of Tennessee Medical Center is the region’s academic medical center, with 855 beds and Level I trauma care for adults and children. A hospital that size keeps generators and stored diesel ready around the clock.
When TVA came up short
During Winter Storm Elliott, TVA did something it had never done. On December 23, 2022, it told local power companies to cut demand by 5%. On Christmas Eve it ordered cuts of up to 10% for more than five hours. KUB customers in Knoxville went through rolling 15-minute blackouts that morning.
Sites with generators and full tanks rode it out. Single-digit cold and a strained grid are exactly when winter-blend diesel and topped-off standby tanks matter most.

How Fuel Gets to You
Mobile fueling or bulk delivery: which fits your Knoxville site?
Three delivery formats. We’ll quote whichever fits your volume, site access and cost target.
Wet-Hose Fueling
Mobile fleet fueling
Overnight or day shift, fuel direct to each tank
A driver pulls into your yard after hours, fuels every truck or piece of equipment directly, logs each fill, and clears out before your crews arrive. No staff required on site.
Best for: Trucking fleets, delivery yards, rental fleets and service vehicles.
Tank Wagon Delivery
On-site tank fills
20 – 4,400 gallons per drop · same-day or scheduled
A smaller delivery truck fills your day tank, jobsite bulk tank or generator. The flexible option when volume varies or site access is tight.
Best for: Construction sites, generator refills, day tanks and smaller bulk storage.
Transport Load
Bulk transport delivery
Full transport loads to 7,500+ gallons · scheduled
Tractor-trailer delivery straight into large bulk storage. The lowest cost per gallon for high-volume buyers.
Best for: Data centers, large industrial sites, agriculture and rail yards.

Knoxville FAQ
Knoxville fuel delivery questions, answered
Do you fuel trucking fleets along the I-40/I-75 corridor?
Yes. Mobile fleet fueling (wet-hosing) fills tractors in your yard overnight, so trucks start the day full and skip the fuel stop in corridor traffic. DEF goes on the same visit.
What happened to Knoxville's power in December 2022?
During Winter Storm Elliott, TVA told local power companies to cut demand for the first time in its history, and KUB ran rolling 15-minute blackouts on December 24. Sites with generators kept running on stored fuel.
Do you refuel hospital generators in Knoxville on a schedule?
Yes. We top off generator tanks on a set schedule and dispatch 24/7/365 for outages, with fuel polishing and lab fuel testing for tanks that sit.
Do you deliver fuel 24/7 in Knoxville?
Yes. FuelGo dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call 800-720-4546 any time, or request a quote online and a dispatcher replies within the hour.

How much is diesel tax in Tennessee?
On-road (clear) diesel in Tennessee carries $0.5323 per gallon in combined federal and state taxes and fees, and off-road (dyed) diesel $0.0893 per gallon, as of October 16, 2026.

Do you offer emergency fuel delivery in Knoxville?
Yes. If a generator is running low or a site is about to run dry, call 800-720-4546 and a dispatcher will confirm what we can get to you and when.
Can you set up recurring scheduled deliveries?
Yes. Most customers start with a one-time delivery and move to a recurring schedule, so tanks, generators and fleets are topped up before they run low, without anyone having to call it in.
Do you rent fuel tanks?
Yes. We rent diesel and gasoline tanks from 119 to 17,000 gallons, with pumps, meters and hose fitted, and refills on a schedule. See our fuel tank rental page for sizes.
Do you have smaller trucks for tight sites?
