Frequently asked questions
- Why do I need to keep my fuel polished after it has been cleaned?
Cleaned fuel does not stay clean. It is under constant attack from water ingress, particulates and microbial growth. A Diesel Defence unit can be attached to your tank to circulate the fuel and polish it every day. Diesel Defence on-tank units stop new contamination gaining a foothold in your tanks.
- What applications do you clean fuel in?
The ClearTank service is relevant to any organisation that stores diesel but it is vital in the following applications:
- Critical power sites: hospitals, data-centres and telecoms, STOR and FFR sites.
- Marine: ship bunkers and dockside storage.
- High-security: MOD, government and corporate head-quarters.
- Limited access: rooftops, basements, prestige offices and dispersed locations.
