Identify issues early and protect your fuel systems
If you’re experiencing fuel problems or your tank is showing signs of age, a professional survey and fuel testing service is essential. At 1st Industrial & Commercial Services, we help identify potential issues before they become costly failures—keeping your systems safe, compliant, and fully operational.
Why Fuel Testing Matters
Fuel tanks are often out of sight, making it easy to overlook deterioration. However, hidden issues such as corrosion, leaks, or poor containment can lead to serious environmental risks, operational downtime, and potential fines or prosecution.
Modern fuels, particularly those with biodegradable content, are more susceptible to microbial growth and fuel degradation. Without regular monitoring, this can lead to:
- Tank corrosion and structural failure
- Boiler injector and fuel pump damage
- Blocked systems and reduced efficiency
- Loss of heating, hot water, or power
A simple, proactive inspection and testing plan can prevent these issues entirely.
What We Do
Our experienced engineers carry out detailed fuel tank surveys and testing services, including:
- Fuel sampling and on-site analysis
- Visual inspections of tanks and surrounding infrastructure
- Internal non-destructive testing (NDT) using ultrasonic thickness equipment
- Identification of contamination, corrosion, and compliance issues
- Minor remedial works where required
- Fuel removal and replacement if contamination is severe
- Recommendations for repair, maintenance, or full tank replacement
Comprehensive Survey & Reporting
Every tank is different, which is why we provide a tailored survey followed by a detailed report outlining the current condition of your system and clear recommendations for next steps.
Our surveys include:
- Tank and bund inspections, including capacity checks
- Assessment of site access for deliveries and maintenance
- Fuel and lubricant sampling, testing, and analysis (including one free sample per visit using mobile testing equipment)
