Co-op’s fuel purchasing app is the way to go for busy farm managers.
When you need fuel, you need fuel – it’s that simple. We’ve made the ordering process easier than ever. Through the free Co-op app, customers can simply punch in their fuel needs, sit back and wait for the delivery to roll into the yard, all with just a few taps.
Via the Co-op app, customers can order bulk fuel, lubricants or propane directly to their farm through participating local Co-ops. Designed for a seamless user experience, this convenient app saves busy farm managers time and energy.
How it works
Open the Co-op app and navigate to the Bulk Fuel Orders tab on the Shop page. Fill out your location information, and select fuel type, grade and desired quantity. You can also add oil and lubricants to your fuel order. Once all the required information is filled out, tap submit. You will receive a confirmation email with all the details of your order. You may also receive a phone call from your local Co-op to schedule a delivery date. Most fuel is delivered within 48 hours.
To enable Co-op to deliver your order, your municipality must allow delivery units on roads leading to your site, and your yard and fuel tanks must be easily accessible. You can add in delivery notes and notes about your farmyard to prepare our delivery drivers in advance of the drop-off.
When the fuel is delivered, the farm business owner or another manager must be present to receive it. A member of our Co-op Fuel Team will provide a proof of delivery slip to ensure it’s the correct order and the volume is charged to the appropriate account. Once confirmed, our driver will fill the on-farm fuel tank and drive away. That’s it.

Direct Drop orders
For larger orders, typically over 25,000 litres, customers may be eligible to work directly with the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina, Sask., through Co-op’s direct-drop delivery program.
Customers with orders in larger quantities can potentially receive further discounts on their fuel purchases. To qualify, the customer’s local Co-op must be a participating dealer, and their yard site and fuel tanks must be easily accessible for the Co-op delivery driver.
Consult with your local Co-op Fuel Team member for information on minimum tank size and minimum drop requirements.
Program requirements
There are several important requirements a customer must satisfy to ensure they can participate in Co-op’s Direct Drop Delivery program.
Fuel tank requirements
- Tanks should be equipped with two- or three-inch camlock couplers (three-inch couplers preferred).
- Venting lines must be at least two inches to handle off-loading at 840 L/min.
- Tanks must be levelled and properly grounded.
- Must have one ball valve before a one-way check valve on the offloading side and ideally another at the fill port connection.
- Must be bottom-loading.
- In Manitoba, customers must have a valid fuel permit on tanks exceeding 5,000 litres of storage.
Farmyard site requirements
- Four-season accessibility with sufficient room for the delivery driver to manoeuvre in the yard without having to reverse is necessary.
- Fuel tanks should be easy to access. Delivery units are equipped with only 20 feet of hose, so anything further from road access may not be able to be filled.
- Customers must have RM/County approval for the size and gross vehicle weight of the delivery unit.
