Fuel storage tanks are the foundation of reliable operations across many different industries. When contaminants find their way into your fuel tank, it is only a matter of time before they threaten operations and regulatory compliance. Fuel tank cleaning helps ensure that harmful contaminants are not reintroduced into your fuel due to buildup that has accumulated on inner-tank surfaces.
What Does Tank Cleaning Involve?
Fuel Quality Specialist cleans contaminated fuel tank.
Tank cleaning is a targeted process that removes contamination such as water, sludge, rust flakes, and microbial buildup from the bottom and sides of the tank interior. This debris collects over time, especially in diesel storage systems, and eventually disrupts the flow and quality of fuel. Fuel tank cleaning restores a baseline of cleanliness so that fresh fuel remains uncontaminated.
When Should Fuel Tanks be Cleaned?
Fuel tank cleaning can be a preventative measure as well as a response to severe contamination. Because contamination accumulates over long durations, it is paramount that tank cleaning be conducted at least once every 2-4 years.
Staying ahead of costly issues will ensure that operations continue as intended, avoiding potentially massive losses of time and resources.
Why Cleanliness Matters
Skipping routine fuel tank maintenance creates the perfect conditions for costly repairs and unexpected downtime. Repairs take time and money, ultimately causing downtime which further results in losing valuable operational time. Because of these risks, it is critical that facility managers invest in a regular tank cleaning program.
