Fuel System Modernisation

Fuel System Modernisation Services
UK Government

Overview

Diesel fuel systems are the often-overlooked backbone of any standby generator. As they age, the risks of non-compliance, contamination, and environmental spillage all increase.

As an OFTEC-registered company with OFTEC-registered engineers, we deliver complete fuel system modernisation — from initial survey to full replacement.

Whether the project involves a single component or a complete overhaul, every stage is delivered in-house to current regulatory standards.

Benefits

Regulatory Compliance

Bring your fuel system up to current OFTEC and environmental standards, fully documented.

Reduced Spillage Risk

Modern bunded and blast-proof tanks dramatically reduce the risk of fuel spillage and contamination.

Environmental Protection

Protect the surrounding environment with modern containment, leak detection, and overfill prevention systems.

Improved Reliability

Modern fuel systems deliver consistent fuel supply, supporting reliable standby generator operation when it matters.

Independent Assurance

OFTEC-registered surveys provide independent, documented evidence of compliance and clear remedial recommendations.

Single-Source Delivery

Survey, design, supply, and installation handled in-house — one team, no handoffs.

Features

  • OFTEC surveys including site visit, gap analysis, environmental risk assessment, and written report
  • Above-ground tank options including single-skin, bunded, and blast-proof (Convault) designs
  • Pipework solutions including UPP double-wall, steel, and contained single-wall installations
  • Full ancillary scope — leak detection, ATEX fuel level monitoring, transfer pumps, control panels, and fuel polishing
  • Complete project capability — from single-component upgrades to full system replacements

Why Choose Us

Most providers will either carry out a fuel system survey or install new equipment — but not both. AC Automation does both, end to end. As an OFTEC-registered company with OFTEC-registered engineers, we identify the compliance, safety, and environmental risks in your existing system, then design and install the modern, compliant replacement to resolve them.

That single-source approach removes the gaps that often emerge between survey and remedial works — you get one contractor responsible from initial site visit through to fully commissioned system, with all the necessary regulatory expertise held in-house.
