Our team strictly adheres to the protocols defined in BS 5410-3:2023, which outlines best practices for the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of equipment consuming liquid fuels. This applies to a broad range of industries, from manufacturing and logistics to data centres and healthcare facilities.

We follow the recommendations and best practice guidance set out in the Worldwide Fuel Charter. Our tests focus on the detection of entrained/suspended water, particulates, bacteria, sulphur, and FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), which can indicate potential fuel degradation.

Fuel samples are taken from the bottom and middle of the tank and benchmarked against British Standard BSEN590. Our comprehensive tests look for bacterial, water, and particulate contamination, as well as other indicators of fuel degradation.

Special care is taken with biodiesel storage. Fuel-oil companies typically recommend a three-month storage limit, after which active treatment procedures should be implemented. This is a critical concern for systems providing backup for critical services, but it's equally significant for any setup that uses large fuel storage tanks (over 200L) as routine maintenance is vital to prevent degradation and ensure efficiency.
