What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas licenses liquid fuels carriers — businesses that transport motor-vehicle fuels and special fuels on the state's highways — through the Department of Revenue, under the motor fuel tax law in Chapter 79, Article 34 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated. The license is applied for on form MF-26 and is conditioned on a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond stands behind the carrier's compliance with the fuel transportation and reporting rules: that fuel moves only on authorized terms, that container and meter seals are not tampered with, that loads reach lawful recipients, and that the carrier files its required petroleum products reports.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). The amount is a fixed $1,000 set by the Department — small, but mandatory before your license activates. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Department of Revenue. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your liquid fuels carrier license application (form MF-26). Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
