What is the difference between cardlock and a retail gas station?

Cardlock stations are unattended fueling sites designed specifically for businesses.

They feature high-flow pumps, require a commercial membership card to access, and provide detailed reporting that retail credit cards cannot offer.

Do you offer off-road diesel (dyed diesel) at your cardlocks?

Yes. We provide off-road diesel at select locations for construction, agriculture, and reefer units.

Who is eligible for a cardlock account?

Any business with a commercial vehicle fleet, rom a single plumbing van to a fleet of long-haul trucks can apply for a Nelson’s Oil & Gas commercial account.
