What happens if you do not look after your fuel?
If you don’t take appropriate preventative measures to maintain your fuel and storage tanks, you could run into many issues that could harm your business’ operations, including:
Fuel contamination leading to fuel degradation
Fuel that becomes contaminated can begin to degrade in quality and as a result fall out of specification, become less efficient and restrict performance of engines and boilers.
Unplanned downtime for you and your clients
When fuel becomes contaminated, a build-up of sludge forms and starts to clog your filters and pipework which could bring lead to disruption for you and your clients.
Costly repairs for your equipment
Fuel degradation can eventually lead to corrosion of your tanks and pipework. It can be costly to repair this damage to your equipment and to replace your spoiled fuel.
Damaged reputation for your business
If you or your clients experience unplanned downtime, your business reputation can be tarnished which could have significant long-term effects on your revenue.
Fuel leakage and environmental harm
There are strict laws and regulations for storing fuel onsite. It’s critical you carry out regular tank and pipework inspections managed professionally so that you avoid costly fines and damage to your local environment.
What if my fuel has already become contaminated?
Should your business ever experience any of the problems that we’ve highlighted, all is not lost. Our team of experts can conduct a site survey to determine the best solution and restore your fuel, tanks and pipework back to full strength. We can then provide ongoing support to ensure that you do not run into these problems again in the future.
