Fleet Management
Fuel Storage Solutions for Fleet Management Companies
Improving the fuel economy of your vehicles by less than 0.5km per litre could save you hundreds of dollars. That is more more than $100 per vehicle for vehicles travelling 33,000km a year at current prices, and more than $180 if your vehicles travel 55,000km – a significant saving.
Simply fixing an out of tune engine can improve vehicle mileage by an average of anywhere between 4% – 40%.
Getting fleet management right starts with the right fuel storage systems.
Fuel Supply, Storage and Security
Top 3 Benefits to a F.E.S. TANK
FUEL SUPPLY
Quality fuel supply on site and on demand.
(24 hrs / 7 days / 365 year)
FUEL STORAGE
Safe storage of fuel and hydrocarbons in challenging locations. Design and drop installation with plug and play commissioning. Fast and simple.
FUEL SECURUTY
Robust tank construction with live fuel management and monitoring ensuring 24/7 data and security monitoring.
Why Does Fuel Storage Matter?
When managing your car rental or commercial fleet, it’s essential to know that your fuel is stored properly and as fresh as possible. That is essential to increasing both overall efficiency and your bottom line. However, it can be a difficult variable to control when cars are being refuelled at multiple locations
When buying fuel off-site drivers might not always have access to the best quality fuel at the best price. This makes monitoring quality a a near-impossible task.
On-Site Storage: The Benefits
Storing your fuel on-site is one way to take control of fuel quality, as well as making it easy to monitor consumption and quickly pick up any maintenance issues with particular vehicles before they become major problems.
Ideally, you’ll choose a storage option that allows you to turn your fuel supply over while it’s fresh. This gives you the flexibility and capacity to buy when the price is right – making significant cost savings.
Using on-site fuel storage tanks means you can minimise problems caused by contamination from water and particulates or diesel bugs.
Fuel destabilised by any of these factors will spoil quickly leading to both mechanical and economical problems.
Contaminated Fuel
Operational issues caused by contaminated fuel:
- Poor starting or failure to start
- Reduced availability of operational equipment
- Poor or rough idle, reducing efficiency
- Increased consumption
- Excessive smoke and emissions
Other benefits of on-site fuel storage – particularly for car rental fleets – include:
- Significant time savings as refuelling is now done on-site rather than staff going down to the local service station to fill up.
- Greater control over refuelling on-site reduces the risk of employees filling the vehicle with the wrong product type.
Tank Integrity – Keeping Fuel Contained
In the past, the worry of keeping fuel contained in line with State and Federal environmental legislation has put some fleet managers off the idea of on-site storage.
After all, leaks in tanks or faulty valves and fittings can not only cost you thousands in lost fuel, but could also mean hefty clean-up bills under environmental legislation.
Fortunately, those issues have been addressed with the growing availability of self-bunded fuel storage tanks which have a double wall for fuel containment, revolutionising refuelling options for business.
The integrated second tank wall not only eliminates the need for expensive and inflexible external bunding work but dramatically improves the probability of being able to recover your fuel in a useable condition in case of a spill.
As a bonus, the tanks can be transported between depots and easily installed on site as your fleet movements change.
