Fuel System Modernisation
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
Discuss Your Requirements
Whether your existing fuel system is showing its age or you’re starting a new generator installation from scratch, every project starts with a conversation. Our OFTEC-registered engineers will help you scope the work, identify the risks, and design a system that meets current standards.
Get in touch to arrange a site survey — no obligation, just practical advice from people who understand both the regulations and the real-world demands of standby power.
