The Prescription for Clean, Reliable Fuel
Fuel problems rarely start with the engine. They often start much earlier—with water, sediment, microbial growth, sludge or contaminated fuel sitting inside the storage tank.
Tank Rx provides professional fuel and tank cleaning services designed to diagnose the problem, remove contaminants and help restore fuel to a usable condition. From routine fuel polishing to fuel tank cleaning and phase separation remediation, we have the equipment and experience to treat the fuel problem at its source.
Based in Western North Carolina, Tank Rx serves fuel-dependent businesses and facilities throughout North Carolina and the surrounding Southeast.
Dirty fuel has a cause. Tank Rx has the cure.
Fuel Polishing
Clean the Fuel You Already Have
Fuel polishing is a process of circulating stored fuel through specialized filtration and separation equipment to remove water, sediment and particulate contamination. Instead of automatically disposing of questionable fuel and buying a new supply, fuel polishing can provide a way to recover usable fuel and extend the value of what is already in the tank.
Over time, even fuel that entered a tank clean can accumulate contamination. Water can enter through condensation, compromised fill points or other sources, while sediment and microbial byproducts can collect at the bottom of the tank.
Tank Rx can diagnose the condition of your fuel and determine whether polishing is the right prescription.
Fuel Polishing is Ideal for:
Backup generators, commercial facilities, farms, construction equipment, fleet operations, fuel distributors, marinas and other businesses that depend on stored fuel.
Fuel Tank Cleaning
Sometimes the Fuel Tank is the Problem
Fuel polishing addresses contamination in the fuel. But when sludge, sediment, microbial growth or other debris has accumulated inside the tank, cleaning the tank itself may be necessary.
Tank Rx removes accumulated contaminants from the tank so your newly cleaned or replacement fuel isn’t immediately exposed to the same material again. A clean tank creates a better foundation for maintaining fuel quality and protecting the equipment that depends on it.
If your filters keep clogging, contamination keeps returning or a fuel sample reveals significant tank-bottom debris, the prescription may be more than fuel polishing.
Fuel Tank Cleaning is Ideal for:
Gas stations, commercial fuel storage facilities, backup power systems, fleet fueling operations, farms, marinas, industrial facilities and other sites with aboveground or underground fuel storage.
Phase Separation
When Fuel and Water Stop Playing Well Together
Water is one of the biggest enemies of stored fuel. With ethanol-blended gasoline, enough water contamination can cause the fuel to separate into distinct layers—a condition commonly known as phase separation. Once that happens, the fuel may no longer perform as intended and may require specialized removal and remediation.
Tank Rx can identify signs of phase separation and determine the appropriate course of action for the affected fuel and tank.
Don’t wait for separated fuel to reach your dispensers, pumps or engines. Early diagnosis can help prevent a fuel-quality problem from becoming an equipment or operational problem.
Phase Separation Remediation is Ideal for:
Gas stations, convenience stores, commercial fueling facilities, fleet operations and other businesses storing ethanol-blended gasoline.
