Fuel System Inspections

Diesel fuel system inspections might not be the most exciting part of your fuel storage setup, but they’re absolutely essential. 

In the UK, they’re not just a good idea, they’re a legal requirement under environmental and health & safety regulations. If you’ve got a stored diesel system, whether it’s for a backup generator, commercial fuel tank, or plant equipment, regular inspections are a must.

Over time, fuel systems can develop all sorts of issues; corrosion, leaks, degraded pipework, or damage to bunds and containment areas. And if you’re not checking for those problems, you could be sitting on a ticking time bomb (not literally, but you get the idea). A proper diesel fuel system inspection checks the condition of tanks, pipework, filters, vents, alarms, and any associated containment systems.

These inspections help spot early signs of wear and tear before they turn into expensive failures, or worse, environmental incidents. Spilt or leaking diesel isn’t just bad for business; it can land you with serious fines and clean-up costs.

Regular inspections also help make sure your fuel stays clean, your system stays compliant, and your operation stays up and running when it matters most.

So if you’ve been putting off your inspection, don’t. It’s a legal requirement, a smart preventative measure, and a whole lot smarter than dealing with the fallout from a fuel system failure. 

Keep it clean, keep it safe, and stay on the right side of the regs.
