Stored diesel care for government, defence and emergency assets
We support diesel treatment and fuel-care planning for Australian government, defence and emergency-service assets. Our approach addresses sludge, deposits and corrosion risk in stored diesel and fuel systems, with product selection matched to the fuel grade, asset requirements and operating environment.
Fuel care aligned with asset readiness
We focus on maintaining a clear view of stored-fuel condition through periods of low use and changing demand. We recommend traceable treatment, inspection and sampling records that support readiness planning, while respecting the technical requirements and operating procedures applicable to each asset.
Strengthen stored-diesel care and support evidence-based readiness planning
We connect treatment chemistry with the storage, maintenance and documentation controls that support critical assets. Our recommendations are specific to the fuel system and operating requirements.
Address sludge in long-term diesel storage
We use treatment designed to dissolve and disperse sludge and help prevent further formation. We assess storage turnover and existing contamination, with filter monitoring and physical removal included where the tank condition requires a wider response.
Protect tanks and fuel-system metal surfaces
Our chemistry forms a microscopic corrosion-protection film. We include this function in the programme while recommending investigation of water ingress, tank-condition concerns and the operating history of the stored supply.
Assess low-use assets before recommissioning
We recommend reviewing storage history, representative samples and filtration before assets return to sustained operation. We use those findings to guide treatment and further maintenance rather than assuming readiness because diesel has remained in a tank.
Match treatment to fuel grades and asset requirements
We confirm the fuel grade, treatment objective and applicable compatibility requirements before recommending a product. We assess each application separately, avoiding a blanket assumption that one treatment plan covers every vehicle, generator or storage system.
Maintain traceable records across asset portfolios
We recommend recording deliveries, treatment calculations, water findings, sample results and filter changes by tank or asset. We use that record to identify recurring storage issues and support consistent maintenance decisions across locations.
Plan fuel care around operational and emergency demand
We help align treatment guidance with scheduled maintenance, recommissioning and storage reviews. We recommend resolving contamination concerns before critical reliance on the supply, with monitoring planned during any initial cleaning programme.
Government & Defence: practical applications
Government diesel storage
We assess tank condition, delivery history and turnover for operational fuel supplies. We recommend treatment and monitoring aligned with the assets receiving diesel from each storage system.
Defence support infrastructure
We confirm the fuel grade and asset-specific requirements before recommending treatment. We use the applicable operating procedures to define the scope of the fuel-care programme.
Emergency-service vehicles
We consider intermittent use, refuelling arrangements and maintenance history. We recommend checking stored diesel and shared supply systems where recurring filtration or contamination concerns arise.
Critical-infrastructure generators
We assess diesel held for standby operation alongside generator maintenance. We recommend representative sampling and storage-condition checks where long holding periods or contamination findings warrant investigation.
Remote government facilities
We review delivery frequency, low-turnover storage and access to maintenance support. We recommend traceable dosing and condition records for each supply.
Reserve and low-use assets
We assess the storage history of diesel held during extended periods of inactivity. We recommend condition checks and appropriate treatment before recommissioning, followed by filtration monitoring where cleaning is required.
A diesel treatment programme aligned with asset and readiness requirements
We begin by confirming the fuel grade, tank capacity, stored volume and the assets supplied. We request the applicable compatibility requirements and operating procedures, together with delivery, inspection and sampling records. We use those details to define the treatment scope.
We include monitoring during cleaning because treatment can release existing deposits. We recommend assessing whether water, sediment or significant contamination requires physical removal and planning filter inspections before the system is placed under critical operating demand.
We use fuel-condition evidence to review the programme over time. We recommend keeping treatment and sampling records by tank or asset, and assessing stored-diesel care alongside the maintenance and readiness checks applicable to the equipment itself.
Relevant Fuel Right products
We select treatment against the fuel grade, tank condition and operating requirements. We distinguish the formulations by their documented functions and application guidance rather than treating concentration alone as a measure of suitability.
We recommend 30K for applicable bulk treatment programmes focused on sludge, deposits and corrosion protection. Our standard bulk ratio is 1:30,000; we confirm any fuel-grade-specific instructions before dosing.
We select 15K where its cleaning, corrosion-protection, lubricity and fuel-line freeze-protection functions suit the application. Our standard bulk ratio is 1:15,000; we confirm the operating conditions and treatment objective before application.
We recommend ProActive for applicable diesel systems where sludge control, corrosion protection and enhanced lubricity are required. Our standard bulk ratio is 1:10,000; we assess the system condition before selecting routine or shock treatment.
Government & Defence FAQs
We confirm the actual fuel grade, proposed product and relevant asset requirements before recommending treatment. We request the applicable technical and operating procedures and assess the application individually. We do not assume that suitability for one diesel system establishes approval for every asset.
We recommend recording storage age and turnover, inspecting for water and contamination, and sampling where condition is uncertain. We select treatment against those findings and include filtration monitoring during cleaning. We review fuel care alongside the equipment’s established readiness and maintenance checks.
We recommend a consistent reporting framework for deliveries, dosing, water findings, samples and filter servicing, with separate records for each tank or asset. We retain site-specific treatment decisions where fuel grades, storage conditions or operating requirements differ.
We calculate additive volume by dividing the diesel volume by the applicable treatment ratio. For standard bulk treatment of 10,000 litres, we use 1 litre of ProActive, approximately 667 mL of 15K or approximately 333 mL of 30K. We confirm the product and fuel application before dosing; grade-specific marine instructions can differ.
We use bulk treatment for a defined ongoing programme and assess shock treatment separately where existing sludge requires accelerated cleaning. Our product-specific shock ratios are 1:4,000 for ProActive, 1:6,000 for 15K and 1:12,000 for 30K. For small-to-medium tanks, we confirm the tank-capacity dosing basis and plan filter monitoring before application. We recommend appropriate physical removal where water or sediment has accumulated.
We provide product-specific instructions through our information sheets and handling requirements through our Safety Data Sheets. We recommend reviewing the relevant documents before application and contacting us with the fuel grade, tank capacity, stored volume and contamination findings so we can confirm the treatment approach.
