Is a PDF Brochure Enough for My Fuel Company Website?
No. Put the key answers on web pages and offer the PDF as a download. Google can index PDFs, so they are not invisible. Pages are just easier for customers to use. Google guidance

Answer first, download second
Start each page with the question the visitor has. For a propane page, that could be how to start service. For a diesel page, it could be what the office needs to set up an account.
Write that answer on the page. Keep the brochure below it as a reference. Nobody should have to dig through a long file to find the next step.
Google advises making important content available as text for its AI search features. Google guidance
Make it easy to reach
Google also recommends internal links so people and its systems can find content. Google guidance
Ask your builder to show the path from the homepage to each answer. If the brochure is the only place a service is described, that service needs its own page.
Google recommends readable content with short paragraphs, sections and useful headings. Google guidance
Try this: read the page without opening the attachment. Can you tell what you offer and what to do next? Then open the PDF and check that it agrees.
Decide what stays a download
Keep a PDF when a customer wants something to print. Assign one person to update it whenever the facts change, and keep the page and the file on the same checklist.
