A reefer trailer typically uses diesel fuel to power its refrigeration unit. This unit is responsible for maintaining the required temperature for perishable goods during transport. Some modern reefers may also utilize electric power from the truck or external sources when parked. Overall, diesel remains the primary fuel source for most reefer trailers.

How much fuel does a reefer use per hour?

The fuel consumption of a refrigerated truck, also known as a reefer, can vary depending on several factors such as the size and age of the vehicle, the type of refrigeration unit used, and the operating conditions. As a rough estimate, a typical refrigerated truck with a diesel-powered refrigeration unit may use around 1-2 gallons of fuel per hour while the refrigeration unit is running. It's also worth noting that when the reefer is not running and the cargo is being transported at ambient temperature, the fuel consumption will be similar to that of a regular truck.

Where can you buy off road diesel?

You need to call around to fuel stations and see if any of them carry it. If you're in an agricultural area, it'll be more commonplace, and a lot of coops will carry it. Otherwise, you might have to rely on a bulk fuel supplier to provide it. If you're absolutely unable to find it, and are using it for a legitimate purpose (and not trying to evade fuel taxes by putting it in an on-road vehicle), you can always go to a truck stop or fuel center which caters to trucks, and explain to the attendant (BEFORE you take on fuel) that you're fueling a piece of equipment which is eligible for non-taxable fuel, and they should be able to write it up as reefer (refrigerated trailer) fuel (which is also non-taxable use), and you'll be refunded any road use tax paid on that fuel.
