Preserve the Quality of Your Fuel and Get it Tested Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fuel is a critical asset to industry. Regular fuel contamination testing is a common-sense, cost-effective insurance policy against expensive and disruptive equipment, engine and vehicle failures – especially emergency power supply units. By regularly testing your fuel’s condition, we can spot and remedy the early stages of a problem, eliminating the need to replace your fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Crown Oil, we employ two of the UK’s leading chemists who can test your fuels at our state-of-the-art fuel testing laboratory in Bury. It doesn’t matter where you are in the UK, our technicians can come to your site to collect samples from your storage tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unwelcome expense of equipment and machinery repair is almost certainly higher than the expense of getting your fuel tested regularly. Get in touch with our fuel specialists today on 0333 004 0340<\/a> today. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fuel management and testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over time, water and other contaminants build up and cause fuel to degrade in quality. Fuel sampling and testing in an essential part of our customer offering that helps ensure that your business operations operate at maximum efficiency. We will identify the cause of loss of power, poor injector performance, clogged filters, smoking and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By highlighting the need for the use of additives, tank cleaning or fuel polishing<\/a>, we will restore your fuel to optimum condition and save your business from disaster. Or alternatively, give you peace of mind that your operations are safe from downtime!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the risk of fuel contamination?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An increase in FAME content (learn more about FAME in our guide<\/a>) in fuels, in addition to a continuous reduction in the presence of sulphur levels, means that fuel is becoming more prone to accelerated microbial contamination and repolymerisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sulphur is bad news for fuel applications as it has a higher affinity to water than regular diesel. This increases the rate of corrosion in tanks and pipes and heightens the risk of failure of engines and backup systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fuel sampling and testing services will help you identify degraded and contaminated fuel to ensure complete integrity and compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
