Another 9,000 litres of storage heading out the gate.

Two more 4,500L diesel tanks off to customers, both set up with solar pumping gear and remote fuel monitoring.

The idea is pretty simple — reliable on-site fuel storage without needing mains power, and tank levels can be monitored remotely so fuel can be organised before it becomes urgent.

Less mucking around. Less chance of running dry. Fuel where it’s needed.

Just another reason to support local - for both BSM Mechanical (great customers and friends of ours) as well as Wazza from WAKD (another friend of ours) 😎

WAKD Express is now doing 2 weekly runs through Yetman from Toowoomba using BSM Mechanical as the freight depot. He is able to link with freight from Brisbane as well if it is pre organised. Exciting to be able to get a bit more freight opportunity for the town! Contact Warren to organise any of your freighting needs and to find out other locations he can collect/deliver to!

"Pretty sure there's still fuel in it..." Famous last words.

We've now become a supplier and installer of Agbot 3.0 Industrial tank monitoring systems.

These little units tell you exactly what's in your diesel tank without leaving the house, workshop or whatever bit of gear you're busy operating.

No driving around checking tanks.
No surprise run-outs.
No guessing.

Just open the app and know.

Need alerts when levels get low? No worries. Notifications can be sent not only to the account holder, but also to staff members, managers, fuel suppliers or anyone else you choose. Everyone who needs to know gets the heads-up before fuel becomes a problem.

Agbot units operate on the 4G network and automatically switch to satellite backup when mobile coverage isn't available, making them ideal for remote farms, stations, pumps, generators and work sites.

Best of all, Agbot is Australian made right here in Brisbane. When you need support, you're dealing with local people, on local time, who understand Australian agriculture and industry.

For customers who purchase fuel through Tex Fuel, we can also monitor tank levels on your behalf and schedule deliveries before stocks become critical. Several customers are already using this service, allowing them to spend less time worrying about fuel levels and more time getting on with the job.

We've already fitted a number of systems locally and reckon they're one of the handiest bits of gear we've come across in a while.

If you've got fuel tanks spread across farms, workshops, quarries, generators or remote sites, send us a message and we'll show you how it works.

RRP for these tidy bits of kit are $550 for self install. We also offer discounted rates for multiple units, and can assist with installation and set up on site if you're not a lover of tech things!

CLEARANCE TIME 💥

We’re moving on the majority of our 1L and 5L oil stock at COST PRICE.

Engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluid and more — if it’s been sitting here too long, it’s getting shown the gate.

Truth is, we inherited a fair bit of this stock when we bought the business and some of it just isn’t what people are buying these days.

So our loss = your chance to grab a bargain.

Limited quantities. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Will reduce $$ further for bulk buys, especially if you’re paying with blue, red or light brown coloured fun tickets 💶💵😉

🚨🚨UPDATE🚨🚨

Oil markets softened this week as optimism around a potential US–Iran peace deal weighed on crude and refined fuel benchmarks, flowing through to lower import pricing and some relief at the bowser. The US also temporarily paused “Project Freedom” naval es**rt operations through the Strait of Hormuz following diplomatic progress between the two nations.

Despite the softer tone diplomatically, tensions in the Strait remain active. US and Iranian forces exchanged fire again this week during a naval transit through the waterway, while the US also struck multiple Iranian-flagged tankers in the Gulf of Oman as enforcement activity around Iranian shipping escalated.

Globally, supply buffers remain tight. Oil inventories are sitting near multi-year lows, with refined fuel stocks such as diesel and gasoline under increasing pressure. In the US, crude, diesel and gasoline inventories all posted larger-than-expected draws this week, reinforcing ongoing strong export demand into Asian markets.

Closer to home, Australian commercial fuel pricing saw some relief:
• Brent crude fell 7.66% to US$100.49/bbl
• International diesel pricing dropped 14.10%
• Shipping costs into Australia eased slightly, though still remain around 4.1x normal levels
• The AUD strengthened modestly against the USD

Other key developments this week included:
• Fresh US sanctions targeting Iraqi oil networks accused of helping Iran bypass restrictions
• A Ukrainian drone strike on one of Russia’s largest oil refineries
• Civil unrest halting operations at Libya’s largest refinery
• The Australian Federal Government announcing a $10bn Fuel Security & Resilience package aimed at increasing national fuel reserves and storage capacity

While pricing has eased for now, ongoing geopolitical instability and historically low inventory coverage continue to leave global fuel markets vulnerable to further volatility.

We deliver to all types…
Even the occasional ass.

This one? 10/10 customer. No fuss, no drama—just fuelled and sorted.

If only they were all this easy 😉

🚨🚨UPDATE 🚨🚨

Fuel markets are displaying signs of volatility again — here’s what’s driving it.

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remain elevated despite the announcement of an indefinite ceasefire between the US and Iran earlier this week.

Progress has effectively been pushed onto Tehran, which remains reluctant to compromise on key nuclear issues, keeping uncertainty high.

At the same time, a looming 1 May US deadline is adding further political pressure to an already fragile situation.

⸻

The real issue now: shipping disruption.

The conflict is shifting away from direct confrontation and into maritime logistics.

* Ongoing vessel interdictions
* Tankers being diverted
* Commercial shipping targeted through the Strait of Hormuz

The US naval blockade remains in place, and Iran continues to respond.

Result: elevated risk across global fuel supply chains and a renewed disruption premium.

⸻

What the market is doing

Australia saw some short-term price relief after last weekend’s de-escalation.

But globally, crude prices have pushed higher again this week as uncertainty returns and supply risks build.

⸻

What’s happening globally

India:

* Imports down 13% month-on-month
* Middle Eastern supply down 61%
* Russian imports surged 90%

China:

* Refinery runs below 70% (lowest since 2022)
* Now exporting crude into Asia
* Drawing down stockpiles built through 2025

Watch this: When China returns as a buyer, it will tighten supply and push prices higher.

⸻

Australian fuel price drivers

* Brent crude: US$105.88 (+15.25%)
* Diesel: US$172.84 (+1.49%)
* Jet fuel: -12.3%
* Petrol: +2.1%
* AUD weaker (-0.59%)
* Freight still ~4.4x normal levels

⸻

Industry moves

WA Government expanding diesel reserves
+8 million litres added to improve supply security, particularly for agriculture.

Freight markets stabilising (in the west)
Tanker rates down 40–60% in Atlantic/European routes as vessels avoid the Middle East.

This helps Atlantic-to-Asia flows — but relief hasn’t fully reached refined fuel shipping yet.

⸻

What this means for you

* Expect pricing to stay unpredictable week to week
* Don’t rely on “last week’s price” — the market is moving too quickly
* Give as much notice as you can on orders, especially for bulk loads

We are still getting supply though.

Short-term relief has already faded.

Supply risks remain elevated, shipping is still under pressure, and global balances are tightening.

That points to continued upward pressure on fuel prices — especially if disruptions persist or China re-enters the market aggressively.
