Maintain your fuel’s health and prevent any potential damages by keeping an eye on fuel contamination levels. Contact Network Environmental UK at 0121 308 6938 to learn more or get your fuel tested by our experts.
Regular fuel oil testing helps to identify the potential contamination issues timely and aids in preventing disruptive or costly disasters later on. It is one of the most efficient preventive maintenance measures to manage various risks beforehand.
Network Environmental UK offers OFTEC-registered fuel and oil testing services to various commercial and residential clients across the UK. Our experienced specialists assist you to avoid:
Fuels become contaminated when there is high FAME content and reduced sulphur content. According to the RFTO, it is required that 5% of the fuel is derived from a sustainable source. Therefore, when hydrocarbon-based fuels, such as heating oil, red diesel, and white diesel, absorb water from atmospheric moisture, they develop a greater risk of degradation. Free water accumulates at the bottom of the tank in which fuel is stored and remains suspended with it, leading to fuel deterioration.
Additionally, moisture from the surrounding atmosphere gets absorbed into the fuel which then reacts with naturally occurring bacteria and leads to the accumulation of sludge matter at the bottom of the tank. This accumulated sludge clogs the filters and decreases the shelf life of stored fuel by contaminating it.
Following are some of the common signs which indicate potential contamination of the stored fuel:
If you notice any of these unusual signs, call our fuel testing experts.

RFTO is the acronym for Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation.
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a renewable diesel fuel produced after the hydrotreatment of renewable waste materials. It is free of fossils and impurities, making it considered a high-quality and sustainable fuel with lower contamination risks.
HVO fuel has over a decade of shelf life, having reduced risk of contamination. It reduces carbon dioxide emissions and is suitable for use in every season, even at low temperatures. It also releases significantly lower amounts of NOx and particulate matter into the atmosphere. It is a fossil and FAME-free fuel that complies with the specifications of EN 15940:2016 and ASTM D975, endorsed by various OEMs.
We offer highly affordable services to residential and commercial clients, ensuring compliance to the relevant regulations. Our company has developed a strong reputation over the years by avoiding downtime with reduced fuel contamination risks for our clients.
