Why do I need a Fuel System Inspection?
- As a fuel user, you have both legal and environmental responsibilities to prevent leaks, spills and contamination. The Environmental Agency can and do regularly impose large fines on businesses that have failed to prevent leaks and spills
- Small defects often escalate into large, disruptive failures – corrosion, ruptures, blocked filters or fuel contamination
- Scheduled, preventative maintenance helps you identify issues early, saving time, cost and operational headaches
What’s included in our Fuel System Inspections?
Our Fuel System Inspections involve a 60-point check of the fuel storage system. To begin, our highly qualified engineers will visually inspect the fuel supply lines, return lines, filters and fittings for leaks, as well carry out fuel sampling to identify any defects in your fuel system.
We’ll then provide a detailed site report which gives you a complete overview of your current installation, together with recommendations and any compliance issues found. If the FSI flags tank concerns, then further investigation by NDT inspection would be recommended.

What are the symptoms of fuel system issues?
Fuel issues can be experienced in many ways. Some of these symptoms are often disregarded, or overlooked, while other symptoms can be severe and hard to ignore. Not only can these failures be costly to repair, but these failures can lead to unplanned downtime, wreaking havoc in your organisation.
- Clogged fuel filters
- Clogged fuel injectors
- Clogged or leaking fuel lines
- Cloudy appearance of fuel
- Corroded or rusting tanks
- Fuel leaks/spills
- Decreased fuel efficiency
Fuel System FAQs
How often should fuel systems be inspected?
Luckily, many of these failures can be prevented through regular fuel testing and tank inspections. We recommend that our Fuel System Inspections are carried out every year to give you complete peace of mind that your valuable assets are protected.
What costs can occur if I don’t maintain my fuel system?
Unfortunately, the consequences of a badly maintained fuel system are two-fold – if your tank is compromised and fuel leaks into the nearby environment, the costs to rectify are huge, including fuel and tank replacement, voided insurance premiums and a damaged reputation.
Regular planned preventative maintenance is key in avoiding the high reactive costs incurred from failing to take care of your fuel system.
Is a Fuel System Inspection legally required?
Yes, many businesses are legally obliged to ensure fuel infrastructure is maintained to environmental regulations and safety standards. Regular inspections help you comply with these.
Do inspections interrupt operations?
Our FSIs are carried out with minimal disruption. Most checks are visual or via sampling; we aim to work safely without needing shut-downs whenever possible.
What happens if defects are found?
You’ll receive a full report with suggested corrective actions. We can help you plan and execute repairs or further diagnostics (e.g. NDT).
