What Happens In A Tank
Don't let your tanks end up like this!
How clean is your fuel tank? You need to know the answer because water, sludge and micro-organisms can cause severe damage to the equipment running off your fuel.
Tanks become contaminated due to condensation, tank breathing and the fuel itself. Condensation is created inside the tank through temperature changes around the tank. Water from condensation produces the life support system for microbes inside the tank. These microbes cause the fuel to breakdown forming a layer of sludge at the bottom of the tank. Because of the demanding requirements of today’s fuel delivery systems, particularly injectors, a clean fuel supply is extremely important.
Petroleum Recovery Services specializes in cleaning fuel oil tanks (diesel, heating oil and kerosene). Our process passes the oil through five filtration stages removing all water and particulate contaminants. The clean oil is returned to the tank under pressure using a directional hose that cleans the bottom and sides of the tank. When the job is completed, your tank is clean and so is your fuel. Our process eliminates the need to purchase replacement fluids as is required by other methods.

- The layers of bacterial & fungal growth, water, and sediment must be removed from the tank, or the clean fuel will develop a contaminated interface layer.
- Because the tank is contaminated, clean fuel will become contaminated by the bacteria, fungus, water, and sediment which remain at the bottom if the tank is not thoroughly cleaned.
- Simply polishing or vacuuming out the fuel will not remove the source of the fuel contamination problem.
- Our system cleans the fuel and the tank simultaneously, rather than putting clean fuel back into a dirty tank.
