Hi all, We have a 13,000 litre Diesel tank on site connected to a fuel pump for refuelling our lorries. Does anyone know of what maintenance we should have in place on this. We have it regularly pressure tested but as such no regular maintenance.

I would assume you would check for stress points or cracking in the outer skin of the tank. The inner skin (if not metal) as you say is pressure checked but maybe a cctv check when fuel levels are low?. Change the filters in the fuel pumps. check the bund is clear. Check pipework for leaks/ deterioration. Check locks and oil regularly. Ensure spills kit is available. Maybe check out what your local fuel merchant/station do? I'm sure others will add to this.

Oil storage regs would be a good starting point? Maintenance of what to be precise? The tank or the pump or both?
