Petroleum Marketers Insurance FAQs

Here are answers to common questions we receive from Minnesota petroleum businesses:

  • Does standard liability insurance cover fuel spills?

    No. You’ll need specialized pollution or environmental liability coverage to address cleanup and third-party claims related to spills or leaks.

  • Is underground storage tank coverage required?

    In many cases, yes. Federal and state regulations often require tank coverage to address the risks of leaks or contamination. Our team can help ensure compliance with Minnesota regulations.

  • How does commercial auto insurance protect petroleum fleets?

    Commercial auto insurance covers liability and physical damage for delivery trucks, tankers, and other vehicles. It ensures your fleet is properly protected while on the road.

  • Can small fuel distributors get affordable insurance?

    Yes. Coverage can be scaled to fit your operation, whether you’re a single-location fuel distributor or a multi-site marketer. Independent agencies like Johannes work with multiple carriers to find competitive options.

  • What happens if a facility shutdown affects my business?

    Business interruption insurance can help cover lost revenue, employee wages, and operating expenses while repairs or cleanup are underway after a covered loss.
