On-site fueling can have many advantages, such as convenience, potential savings, and better fuel access during emergencies and natural disasters. However, there is more to operating on-site fueling than just refilling the storage tanks when they start to run low. Appropriate maintenance is essential if you want to get the most out of your on-site fueling setup. While it is inevitable that breakdowns and other problems may arise that need professional gas pump repair, you can do a few maintenance tasks right now to help keep your on-site fueling operation running smoothly.
First things first! If you want to continue running your on-site fueling, it is essential that it remains compliant with all necessary federal, state, and local regulations. You can make sure this happens with help from the same company that provides your gas pump repair. At PumpTex, we offer our customers regular inspections and preventative maintenance to keep your on-site fueling running and in compliance with all of the appropriate regulations, which may include some or all of the following:
Adhering to these regulations is important for keeping your site in operation. It will also ensure that you don’t face extensive fines, which can far exceed the cost of staying compliant!
Following on from the importance of keeping your site compliant, it is important to know that regulations change fairly often, so you must stay on top of the latest legislation. This may seem like a daunting task, but the good news is that PumpTex is here to help guide you. As your petroleum services company and gas pump repair expert, it is our job to keep up with regulatory changes, and we will notify you of anything that is no longer in compliance when we conduct your regular maintenance visits. You may also wish to designate someone to sign up for alerts from the appropriate regulatory agencies or schedule an annual check to look for any changes over the past 12 months that you may not already be aware of.
You should always be prepared to submit to inspection by the relevant regulatory agencies. Failure to comply with these inspections can result in significant fines and potential shutdown of your on-site fueling. However, in addition to official inspections, it is advisable to carry out your own inspections as well to help pick up on potential issues quickly so that they can be resolved before they escalate into more severe problems. Take time at least once a month to check for any leaks or signs of damage to the storage tank and fuel dispensers. You can also book an inspection with your gas station repair provider, who can check all parts of your fueling system and pinpoint any causes for concern.
It is good practice to check your equipment regularly for signs of wear and tear. Some of the most important things to be vigilant of include:
Tank monitoring also offers an effective way to oversee your on-site tanks. By combining manual checks with automated technology, you can track fuel levels, assess tank conditions, and detect leaks sooner. These systems enable better fuel management, help maintain tank integrity, and can even contribute to cost savings.
