With so many modern fuels containing a small amount of bio diesel with live bacteria, fuel polishing and tank cleaning have never been more vital for the quality, efficiency, and longevity of your fuel oils!
A tank or tanker may require cleaning for a number of reasons, such as:
- Contaminated fuel has been identified inside.
- The type of fuel being kept in the tank is changing.
- The tank is being decommissioned or repaired.
- The tank is being relocated.
Tank cleaning services must usually be pre-empted by fuel polishing. Fuel polishing is a simple procedure that utilises a cyclical pumping system to remove water, dirt, and debris from the bottom of your fuel tank and filter it out, returning only pure fuel back to the top of the tank. As the fuel is less dense than the water and contaminants in the tank, it will float no top and so repeating this cycle will eventually leave nothing but fuel remaining in the tank.
Fuel polishing is vital to prevent contaminated fuel and allow for tank cleaning. After all, cleaning your tank won’t do much good if you plan to fill it back up with contaminated fuel One of the telltale symptoms that your fuel is tainted is its appearance; if it appears hazy and dark, contaminants are likely present. If the fuel has a foggy appearance, there may be water present.
