Why do I need a Fuel System Inspection?

As a fuel user, you have a legal duty to put measures in place to avoid environmental damage. The Environmental Agency can and do regularly impose large fines on businesses that have failed to prevent leaks and spills.

All responsible organisations should operate a planned preventative maintenance programme for fuel pipelines and tank testing to eliminate any issues before they impact the business and the environment.

Our Fuel System Inspections enable you to look after your assets by putting an annual maintenance plan in place. They should be completed every 12 months as part of a pre-planned maintenance programme.

What’s included in our Fuel System Inspections?

Our Fuel System Inspections involve a 60-point check of the fuel storage system. To begin, our highly qualified engineers will visually inspect the fuel supply lines, return lines, filters and fittings for leaks, as well carry out fuel sampling to identify any defects in your fuel system.

We’ll then provide a detailed site report which gives you a complete overview of your current installation, together with recommendations and any compliance issues found. If the FSI flags tank concerns, then further investigation by NDT inspection would be recommended.

What costs can occur if I don’t maintain my fuel system?

Unfortunately, the consequences of a badly maintained fuel system are two-fold – if your tank is compromised and fuel leaks into the nearby environment, the costs to rectify are huge, including fuel and tank replacement, voided insurance premiums and a damaged reputation.

Regular planned preventative maintenance is key in avoiding the high reactive costs incurred from failing to take care of your fuel system.

How often should fuel systems be inspected for leaks and damage?

Luckily, many of these failures can be prevented through regular fuel testing and tank inspections. We recommend that our Fuel System Inspections are carried out every year to give you complete peace of mind that your valuable assets are protected.
