Commercial diesel tanks can provide a plethora of benefits to your business, but only when they are maintained properly. Long-term fuel storage can affect the quality of the diesel being stored, therefore risking the investment you made. 

Diesel tanks need regular maintenance to preserve the quality of the fuel stored in them. When maintained well, diesel tanks can store good fuel for up to 12 months. Without proper maintenance, stored fuel can get contaminated and result in massive equipment damage when used. 

Contamination is typically caused by external pollutants that get into the diesel tanks or fuel degradation itself, but it can be prevented by regular maintenance. Being able to check the condition of your stored fuel regularly can help you make sure you make the most of your fuel investment.

One of the biggest risks in storing diesel fuel is contamination. Contaminated diesel fuel can still be used, but it can cause expensive damage to equipment and machinery. Make sure you check your fuel thoroughly before using it in any of your equipment and vehicles. 

Here are some signs that diesel fuel has gone bad in storage:

• Sludge build-up
• Darker color
• Cloudy appearance
• Clogged fuel filters
• Foul smell
• Poor fuel efficiency
• Performance latencies
