Diesel Tank Inspectors

At Diesel Tank Inspectors, we provide comprehensive assessments of diesel storage installations across the UK. Our experienced team evaluates tanks for deterioration, damage, leakage and other risks, ensuring the integrity of your diesel fuel storage. We examine tank structures, associated pipework, fittings and secondary containment systems if applicable.

Our inspections help prevent issues such as water, sediment and contaminant accumulation that can compromise fuel quality and equipment.

Who Is Diesel Tank Inspectors?

We are a nationwide service specialising in diesel tank inspections. Our priority is ensuring the safe and effective storage of diesel fuel by meticulously assessing tanks, pipework and containment.

We employ ultrasonic thickness testing and magnetic particle inspection to detect wear and stress points, guaranteeing compliance with environmental regulations such as the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001.

Our team of certified inspectors conducts visual and non-destructive testing to identify leaks, corrosion, and structural integrity issues across various tank types, including double-walled, fibreglass, and bunded tanks. We work with industrial facilities, transport companies, and agricultural properties to protect against the risk of environmental hazards and operational disruptions.

By using high-resolution imaging equipment, we can provide thorough assessments, enabling proactive maintenance to prevent costly spillages. With Diesel Tank Inspectors, you can trust that your installations are safeguarded for continued operation.

What Services Does Diesel Tank Inspectors Provide?

Our key services include:

• Diesel Tank Integrity Inspections: We assess the physical condition of tanks to detect signs of wear or potential failure. Our inspections follow industry standards such as the British Standard BS 5410, evaluating factors like corrosion and structural weaknesses using ultrasonic thickness measurement tools.
• Fuel Pipework Assessments: Our team evaluates the associated pipework for integrity and compliance, ensuring all installations meet the regulations outlined in the Oil Storage Regulations 2001. We use pressure testing equipment to identify any leaks or material deficiencies.
• Fittings and Connections Checks: We check all fittings and connections for secure and leak-free operations. This includes testing valves, seals, and couplings for durability and performing hydrostatic tests to verify the leak-proof nature.
• Secondary Containment Evaluations: Where applicable, we inspect bunded diesel tanks for effective secondary containment to prevent leaks. Our experts analyse the bund’s condition for cracks, capacity, and rainwater management.

We are ready to support businesses of all sizes, ensuring their diesel storage meets safety and compliance standards.

When Is Diesel Tank Inspection Needed?

Regular inspections of diesel tanks are crucial to prevent environmental risks and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Inspections are particularly vital after incidents like spills or leaks, following maintenance activities or when tanks haven’t been assessed in the past 12 months.

Tanks used in high-demand industries, such as transportation and construction, face greater wear and tear and should be inspected more frequently to avoid operational downtime.

During inspections, we use ultrasonic testing and visual assessments to check for corrosion, structural weaknesses, and leaks. Adhering to standards such as BS EN 14015, which outlines the construction and inspection specifications for storage tanks, ensures we provide accurate and reliable evaluations.

Inspections by our certified team help maintain fuel quality, prolong tank longevity, and prevent costly damage. Staying vigilant with these checks is essential for facility managers aiming to protect their investments and environments.

How Does Diesel Tank Inspectors Work?

Our inspection process is structured as follows:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a discussion to understand your specific requirements, including the type and capacity of diesel tanks, and schedule a convenient inspection date. This phase involves gathering information about your facility’s location, environmental conditions, and any regulatory compliance needs.
2. Comprehensive Assessment: On-site, we conduct a evaluation of your diesel storage installation. This includes inspecting the tank structure using ultrasonic testing to detect any corrosion or weak spots. We also analyse the integrity of associated fittings and pipelines, check for any leaks with hydrostatic testing, and ensure compliance with industry standards such as the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001.
3. Detailed Reporting: After the assessment, you will receive a report outlining our findings. The report details the tank’s condition, any deviations from standards, and measures required to rectify issues. We include photographs and precise measurements to support our conclusions.
4. Follow-Up Support: We provide guidance on necessary remediation actions, such as relining or replacing parts, and help arrange for future inspection schedules to ensure ongoing compliance and operational safety. If desired, we also consult with third-party maintenance services to assist with repairs.

We are committed to helping you maintain safe and efficient diesel storage. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.
