Tank Cleaning & Re-Siting

Diesel tanks need cleaning internally regularly to prevent a build-up of sludge on the floor and sides of the tank, Where fuel usage is high, a minimum of three years in between cleans is recommended, with five years for lower usage. Our contract customers are reminded when the due date arrives.

Failure to clean enables the sludge to reach the bottom of the suction line to the pump, causing this contamination to travel along the line when the pump is switched on. This clogs or tears the filters and leads at the least to slow delivery of fuel to the vehicles but at the worst , vehicles off the road due to dirt in their tanks.

With the industry moving towards Bio-Diesel more regular cleaning is paramount to avoid disruption and down-time.

County Pumps are pleased to arrange resiting of fuel tanks, including cleaning to regulations, cranage and transport and the modification of any pipe work seen as necessary.
