Diesel treatment and storage care for retail fuel networks
We help Australian fuel retailers manage diesel condition across storage tanks, deliveries and dispensing systems. Our treatment programme addresses sludge, deposits and corrosion risk, with selection and monitoring matched to the condition of each site rather than a single assumption applied across the network.
Fuel care across storage and dispensing
We connect fuel care with the retailer’s operating priorities: a dependable customer supply, manageable filtration and cleaning activity, and consistent records across sites. We provide treatment guidance that can be incorporated into existing delivery, inspection and maintenance procedures.
Strengthen diesel quality controls across storage, dispensing and site maintenance
We focus on the tank and fuel path behind the customer experience. Our programme combines treatment chemistry with site-specific investigation, traceable dosing and practical monitoring.
Control sludge in tanks before it affects dispensing
We use treatment designed to dissolve and disperse sludge and help prevent further formation. We assess the condition of each tank and recommend closer filtration monitoring where established deposits are being released during initial cleaning.
Protect metal surfaces within the diesel storage system
Our treatment chemistry forms a microscopic corrosion-protection film. We recommend investigating water ingress and tank-condition concerns alongside treatment, so storage defects and accumulated contamination receive a defined maintenance response.
Maintain consistent dosing across a multi-site network
We help define product selection, treatment ratios and delivery records. We recommend recording actual diesel and additive quantities for each site, providing a clear basis for checking implementation across deliveries and changes in site personnel.
Use site evidence to prioritise maintenance attention
We recommend reviewing tank samples, water findings and dispensing-filter history by location. We use that evidence to identify tanks that need closer investigation, rather than assuming every site in the network has the same contamination risk.
Coordinate treatment with filtration and physical cleaning
We account for the release of existing deposits during cleaning. We recommend planning filter inspections and assessing whether accumulated water or sediment requires removal, with treatment incorporated into a wider storage-care programme.
Support a credible diesel-quality customer offer
We connect customer-facing messages to the product’s documented functions and the site’s operating evidence. We help distinguish treatment features from commercial outcomes, avoiding unsupported promises about consumption, emissions or universal performance improvements.
Retail Fuel Networks: practical applications
Individual service stations
We assess diesel tank condition, delivery practices and dispensing-filter history. We recommend a treatment programme suited to the site’s storage arrangement and actual contamination findings.
Multi-site retail networks
We help establish consistent dosing and reporting controls while retaining site-specific assessment. We recommend comparing water findings, samples and filtration activity across locations to prioritise attention.
Underground diesel tanks
We review stored diesel, water observations and the history of sludge or filter restriction. We recommend treatment alongside appropriate investigation and physical removal where the tank condition requires it.
Above-ground retail diesel storage
We assess storage exposure, turnover and delivery controls. We recommend inspections and treatment records that address the supply from receipt through to customer dispensing.
High-throughput forecourts
We review delivery frequency and the diesel supplied through busy dispensing systems. We recommend dosing controls and filtration monitoring that can be incorporated into established operating routines.
Regional and lower-turnover sites
We assess longer storage periods and the visibility of diesel condition between deliveries. We recommend representative sampling and water checks where fuel history or tank condition warrants closer attention.
A site-specific diesel treatment programme with network-wide controls
We begin by confirming which tanks hold diesel, their capacities and turnover, and the history of water, sludge or dispensing-filter issues. We assess the actual fuel grade and proposed treatment before application; we do not extend diesel instructions to every fuel sold at a forecourt.
We define routine dosing, responsibilities and records for deliveries. Our standard bulk ratios are 1:10,000 for ProActive, 1:15,000 for 15K and 1:30,000 for 30K. We confirm the appropriate product and application, with shock treatment considered separately where an initial cleaning programme is required.
We include filter monitoring and contamination removal in the rollout plan. Treatment can release existing deposits, so we recommend allowing for filtration checks and replacement elements. We also recommend investigating water ingress and removing accumulated water or sediment where required.
We review the programme through site evidence: treatment records, water findings, representative samples, filter changes and maintenance activity. We use that information to refine the response at individual sites while maintaining consistent controls across the network.
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.
Retail Fuel Networks FAQs
We recommend establishing a baseline for each diesel tank, confirming product selection and defining the dosing calculation and record. We then recommend monitoring filtration and fuel condition during initial cleaning. We retain site-specific controls where tank condition differs, rather than applying the same corrective response everywhere.
We assess deliveries, tank samples, water observations and filter history together. We recommend investigating the storage system as well as the dispensing filter and planning monitoring during treatment. Where significant water or sediment is present, we recommend physical removal alongside the treatment programme.
We recommend establishing the treatment’s documented functions, dosing controls and site monitoring before defining customer-facing claims. We distinguish improvements in storage and fuel care from any proposed claims about vehicle performance or commercial returns. We use supporting evidence appropriate to each claim.
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.
