What is fuel tank cleaning?
Fuel tank cleaning is the process of removing any blockages and preventing contamination. When poorly maintained, harmful substances such as water, suspended water, diesel bug and other contamination can build up, compromising system efficiency and quality.
It is an essential service for ensuring the safety and efficiency of our customers’ equipment. Our tank cleaning services can be tailored to meet your specific needs, including annual maintenance or customised packages based on the tanks you need cleaning.
Removing fuel from the tank
We use specialised equipment to safely and efficiently remove fuel from a tank before performing a thorough cleaning of your fuel tank.
Removing build up
We then remove build-up, sludge and sediments from your fuel tank, restoring it to optimal performance.
Cleaning the fuel tank
We then ensure the tank’s interior is thoroughly cleaned removing any contaminants to help improve the longevity of your fuel storage system.
Fuel polishing
Fuel tank cleaning is usually done in conjunction with fuel polishing to remove impurities, water, and contaminants from the fuel which had been removed from the tank.
Replacing the fuel
Your clean fuel is then returned to the clean fuel tank, ready for use in your fuel system.

We always ensure one of our team is available to liaise with clients before, during, and after our tank cleaning process.
