Bacteria Contamination is Impacting your Tanks

Bacteria contamination in fuel starts in your fuel storage tank but can impact your whole fueling system and the equipment that runs on it.

This picture shows an accumulation of microbial growth within the piping of an aboveground storage tank (AST). The fuel in this AST is used for a fleet application. The customer started noticing that the dispenser filters needed to be changed with increasing frequency. Also, the Tier 4 diesel engines in the fleet were starting to experience injector issues, an indication of fuel contamination.

This is where choosing the right fuel contractor is critical. FuelGuard’s technicians are certified petroleum service professionals capable of diagnosing and repairing all components related to the tank and pumps. Not only can FuelGuard correct the issues with compromised fuel, but we will also assess and repair any components that may be impacted due to contamination. In this instance, significant portions of the piping had to be purged, removed, and jetted with water to remove the years of accumulated biomass.
