About Foster Fuels

Established in 1921, Foster Fuels is a family-owned-and-operated business headquartered in Brookneal, Campbell County, Virginia, and serving customers in all regions of the United States. Foster Fuels began serving Central and Southside Virginia when L.H. Foster arranged with Texaco to become the area’s first Texaco jobber. He worked diligently to fulfill the petroleum needs of the community. His two sons, L.H. Foster Jr. and Watt Robert “Bobby” Foster continued his work and expanded the family-run business by acquiring other jobbers. In 1960, they started a propane gas distributorship which became one of the largest and most successful in Virginia.

What our Clients say

Called last Tuesday to have Mike come out and look about adding a new tank. He came out Thursday. New Tank delivered this Tuesday and filled first thing this AM! Always a pleasure working with them! Polite staff and crew and always go above and beyond! Thank you for superior service!
Laurie D.  //  Charlottesville, VA
I must have loved it to work here as long as I did. The people I was working for at Foster Fuels were good people. I guess they were part of my family… and I worked for Foster Fuels for 43 years.
Pop Mason  //  Brookneal, VA
One of my favorite services Foster Fuels offers is “automatic fill-up”. I never have to worry about running out of propane… when I walk in my house and turn my logs on, I know in just a few minutes my house will be toasty and warm.
Debbie Montgomery  //  Forest, VA
I get my propane from Foster Fuels… I know that when I go there, I am keeping the dollars local. As a small business owner, that is important to me as well… they are smiling faces that are engaged, they know my family… I get the real sense that they DO care.
Matt Grimm  //  Brookneal, VA
When I went to the Rustburg location of Foster Fuels, Christina and W.D. …. they make you feel like family. … They just took that extra step.
