Tank Owners Face Big Challenges

Take a proactive approach to stay in business with Optic Fuel Clean of NC

Lead-free, alcohol enhanced fuels have great environmental and economic benefits, but they require good housekeeping, too. Today’s fuels have the potential for separation and biodegradation accelerated by water. Lead is a natural poison to microbes that grow in a moist environment, and in today’s lead and MTBE free fuels, microbial growth can more readily occur. Resulting problems can include degradation of fuel quality and subsequent vehicle performance to microbial contamination, phase separation and ultimately damage the entire storage system.

This is why industry regulators and organizations are recommending tank owners “establish an operating and maintenance practice to monitor and remove water when it is detected and to have regularly scheduled tank bottom inspections.”

Optic Fuel Clean of NC is focused on helping UST/AST owners and operators be compliant with strict EPA guidelines.

Water monitoring and removal is critical for all fuel storage systems, and Optic Fuel Clean provides a proactive “inspect and maintain” approach to keep our clients operational.
