Tank Cleaning & Fuel Polishing
Restore dirty, contaminated, or water-ridden fuel to engine-ready purity. Our high-flow filtration loops and confined-space tank entry scrapers remove bacterial sludge, rust, and water bottoms, protecting your backup generators and fleet engines.
Our Tank & Fuel Services
High-Flow Fuel Polishing
Multi-stage filtration loops filter fuel inside the tank down to 5 microns, separating suspended water and particulate rust without needing to dump the fuel.
Confined Space Tank Entry
Degassing, gas testing, safety harness rigging, and manual scraper cleaning of bulk steel or fiberglass storage tank interiors.
Water Bottom & Sludge Sucking
Sucking out heavy biological sludge and water layers that rest underneath the fuel before they clog generator fuel system lines.
Chemical Dosing & Treatment
Biocide dosing to destroy fuel bug (hormoconis resinae) colonies, checking for bugs, and preventing future pipeline slime build-up.
Serving Gauteng & Pretoria Industrial Centers

Frequently Asked Questions
It is microbial contamination (bacteria and yeasts) that grows in the interface between fuel and water bottoms inside storage tanks. It produces an acidic slime or sludge that clogs fuel filters and aggressively corrodes metal pipelines and fuel tanks.
Fuel polishing runs the fuel through a high-efficiency multi-stage filter loop. This separates free water, coalesces dissolved moisture, and traps rust particles down to 5 microns, purifying the fuel completely without wasting it.
We recommend taking water paste checks monthly to drain any water bottoms. The tank itself should be manually cleaned or polished every 2 to 3 years to prevent sludge build-up from affecting fuel quality.
