About Us

Who We Are

Fuel Yukon is a 100% local, family owned and operated business. We understand what it takes to succeed in the North because it has been our family’s home for nearly 50 years.

Born from its parent company, Pacesetter Petroleum, Fuel Yukon was founded in 2014 as a heating oil provider and later expanded into driving fuels. Serving both residential and commercial markets, we quickly grew our customer base, becoming a trusted and valued fuel provider in the community. At Fuel Yukon, our customers are ‘part of the family’.

The Caribou, represented in our logo, carries great symbolism amongst the Yukon’s First Nations people. Once a main source of livelihood, the Caribou still represents perseverance, watchfulness and the interconnectedness of life. It is in this spirit – and in our connection to family and community – that our identity is grounded.

Humble Beginnings

Fuel Yukon owners, Fred Musial and his wife Kathy came to Whitehorse in 1973 from Nova Scotia and Montana, respectively. Shortly after arriving, they moved into The Sewell House, a humble abode in an area called Moccasin Flats. The house was originally a wall tent erected for early river boat builders before being converted into a wood-framed house in 1903, according to the newspapers found in the walls. While it did have electricity when Fred and Kathy lived here, the only ‘plumbing’ was a hand pump in the kitchen. In 2001, The Sewell House was demolished to make way for what we now call Shipyards Park. Just prior to its demolition, the Musial’s commissioned beloved Whitehorse artist, Jim Robb, to commemorate this small bit of Yukon history in a drawing (pictured above).
