Precision Pipework & Fuel Tank Testing

Fuel Storage Systems specialise in the diagnostic testing of fuel storage tanks and pipework systems. Integrity tank testing is a vital part of any responsible organisations site maintenance programme. A fuel storage tank or pipework failure can lead to environmental issues from the contamination of the watercourse from fuel spillages.

The use of additives in fuels has proven to increase fuel tank corrosion and the break down of certain pipe jointing compounds leading to the uncertainty of fuel storage tank and pipework life expectancy. As a result many organisations have implemented fuel tank testing and fuel tank inspection programmes as a means of assuring the life expectancy of any tank and having the ability to asses the condition of their storage facilities.
