About Company

Leonard Waguespack founded both Vacherie Fuel Corporation and Oil Company in Vacherie, La during the early 1930’s when propane was the primary fuel source for heating and cooking at homes and businesses.  As decades passed from the initial days of Vacherie Fuel Corporation, popularity and demand increased for natural gas and conventional fuels while propane took a steep decline. For many years the Waguespack family debated on keeping Vacherie Fuel.  Fast forward to 2014 and propane resurfaced as a clean energy source with technology creating entirely new market potential.  Realizing the potential Albert Waguespack III “Allie” left his 9 year career working as a mechanical engineer of rotating equipment with the goal of invigorating the once thriving family business. His focus was to modernize the company, and to become one of Louisiana’s only local bottle exchange suppliers.  Jackie Waguespack (widow of Albert Waguespack Sr.) always said that “Papa wanted to see Vacherie Fuel last 100 years.”  In March 2016 Sina Zarei joined Allie to build the business as they once did together as engineering colleagues.  Together they have invested in automating their refurbishment processes and growing the business into southern Louisiana’s independently owned grocery, convenience, and hardware stores.    Today the company remains one of the only independent- Louisiana based bulk and propane exchange vendors now operating out of Thibodaux, and Vacherie, LA. The Vacherie Fuel team is striving to keep “Papas” dream on track.

Services

20% More Value

When faced with the decision to continue to fill our tanks to 18lbs while the industry standard allowed 15lb we wanted to do right by our customers; our neighbors. Our Vacherie Fuel Bottle Exchange cages are located at independently owned grocery, hardware, and convenience stores throughout the entire South Louisiana region and we are proud to bring the best value to our customers. 

Quality Controlled

Every cylinder we receive is refurbished at our Thibodaux, LA facility ensuring each bottle meets quality standards. This entails inspections such as pit depth measurements, leak testing, and upgrading to new overflow protection device (OPD) valves as necessary. Out of date bottles are recertified and documented.

Residential Propane Services

In the late 1930s Leonard Francis Waguespack started Vacherie Fuel to provide homes in rural Vacherie, LA with a reliable fuel source for cooking and heating. That tradition still continues today as we now deliver propane to homes in several of our surrounding parishes. Our certified personnel with the LP gas association install both above and below ground tanks. From a simple 120 gallon “upright” to excavating for a 1000 underground installation, no job is too big or small. We also work with several backup generator distributers to provide and service the bulk LP tanks.
