Installation, replacement and decommissioning
Fuel system components wear out, and most of them give warning before they fail. We supply, install and commission pumps, filters, contents monitors, gauges, hatches, gaskets and desiccant breathers — whether that is a planned upgrade identified at inspection or a reactive replacement after a failure — and safely decommission tanks and equipment that are no longer needed. We also supply, install and commission fuel management systems as a Piusi Tier 1 Partner.

Common questions
Can you replace a pump without shutting down the site?
Usually yes on a site with redundancy, by isolating the affected line and working on it while the duty system carries the load. On a single-pump installation there will be a period with no transfer capability, which we keep as short as possible and schedule with you in advance.
Do you supply the parts or do we?
Either. We hold common consumables and can supply the replacement part as part of the job, which is usually faster. If you have a preferred supplier or existing stock we are happy to install parts you provide, though the warranty position differs.
Are the parts compatible with our existing system?
That is what the specification step is for. We match the replacement on duty, connection type and approval rather than on nominal size, and we check compatibility with the fuel in use — particularly important where FAME content affects seal and hose material.
