Emergency 

service for 

bunker pump 

operators who 

hit problems 

CAMERON FORECOURT has 

launched a new emergency service 

to help fleet operators when their 

bunker pumps and fuel 

management systems break down. 

It comes in response to the 

increasing number of SOS calls that 

Cameron say they are receiving 

from operators unable to obtain 

satisfactory after-sales back-up 

from their original equipment 

suppliers. 

Explains Cameron Forecourt’s Sales 

and Marketing Manager Martyn 

Gent: “We have noticed a marked 

increase in enquiries from fleet 

operators who are struggling to 

obtain the levels of service support 

they need. 

“Many have invested in equipment 

as recently as the last three or four 

years, but are finding it difficult to 

get any response as a number of 

manufacturers are struggling in the 

current economic climate. As an 

established fuel systems supplier 

and installer with 30 years’ 

experience, we are ideally placed 

to help in almost all cases.” 

Cameron provide nationwide 

round-the-clock emergency cover 

for their own customers and this is 

now being extended to cover all 

leading brands of pumps and fuel 

management systems.

Changes ahead on 

vehicle tank testing 

VEHICLE CARGO TANKS built before 

10 May 2004 known as ‘Old Tanks’ may 

well be called ‘GB Tanks’ under 

forthcoming regulations. 

Discussions between the Dept for 

Transport, UKAS (United Kingdom 

Accreditation Service) and insurers on 

the testing, inspection and certification 

of GB Tanks have been ongoing but 

exact details of how older tanks fit in to 

the new set of requirements are yet to 

be finalised. 

The requirements were to have been 

introduced on 1 July 2010 but were 

subject to derogation (Authorisation 

223) for UK operations only until 30 

June 2011 unless otherwise revoked. 

This exempted vehicles carrying tanks 

that were constructed to the provisions 

of ADR prior to 10 May 2004 but 

subsequently tested and inspected as old 

tanks from the requirements of Part 9.1 

of ADR. 

FPS members who will continue to 

operate tankers in this category after 

the derogation expires may wish to view 

ADR 9.1.3.5 which gives an example of 

the certificate. It would be prudent to 

ensure that the information required to 

complete the document is available in 

the vehicle file. 

FPS had hoped that UKAS would provide 

an update at FPS EXPO in April but 

unfortunately the UKAS Technical 

Manager is unavailable due to a longstanding 

commitment.

New safety think tank 

The British Safety Council has set up a 

specialist unit to shape policy, undertake 

research, campaigning and influencing 

important workplace health and safety 

issues and future legislation. 

Julie Nerney, British Safety Council Chief 

Executive, said: “The Think Tank will 

enable the British Safety Council to 

further influence and inform health and 

safety legislation, policy and debate, and 

engage with government and other key 

stakeholders on health and safety issues 

that really matter to businesses and 

workers alike.”

FPS welcomes OFT study 

on energy issues 

ENERGY MINISTER CHARLES HENDRY 

has written to FPS saying that he has 

asked the Office of Fair Trade to bring 

forward its study looking into the 

various off-grid energy issues, and 

seeking FPS support for the move. 

FPS welcomes the study and is working 

closely with the Dept of Energy & 

Climate Change (DECC) and the OFT to 

provide accurate information on the 

industry structure and operations. There 

are many misconceptions about the 

heating oil industry and the OFT study 

provides the opportunity to clarify the 

situation. 

FPS Chief Executive 

Susan Hancock says: 

“Questions asked by 

some MPs and 

comments from some 

customers have shown 

just how little is 

understood of how 

the oil market works 

and how the oil 

distribution industry 

operates within this 

market. This study is 

our chance to set the 

record straight! 

“There have been a 

number of calls for 

regulation of the 

industry over the winter. It is difficult to 

see how this could be achieved sensibly 

and practically in a way that would 

benefit the consumer. It is equally 

difficult to see why it should be applied 

to one market only rather than the 

whole of the free market – the 

principles of supply and demand are the 

same for all. As long as there is plenty of 

choice of supplier for consumers – easily 

revealed in the ‘Find Your Local 

Distributor’ function on the FPS website 

– there should not be a reason to 

regulate. 

“Supplying essential heating oil to 

consumers and fuel for farms etc. is the 

mainstay of our members’ business and 

they do their utmost to support 

“Questions asked by 

some MPs and 

comments from 

some customers 

have shown just 

how little is 

understood of how 

the oil market 

operates and how 

the oil distribution 

industry operates 

within this market. 

This study is our 

chance to set the 

record straight!” 

customers. Both the FPS and its members 

want to do everything they can to help 

consumers in rural areas. Many of the 

delivery drivers go to great lengths to 

get fuel to their customers, as we saw 

during the recent bad weather when 

they struggled through some appalling 

road conditions and worked extended 

hours to ensure their customers had 

enough fuel. But this dedication came at 

a price in terms of wages, lower 

productivity and mishaps with vehicles in 

the bad road conditions.The cost of 

recovery of a stranded vehicle can be in 

£hundreds. In addition, there are the 

costs of aborted 

deliveries, extended 

waiting times to load 

at terminals, etc etc. 

Distributors have no 

choice but to pass on 

these costs. 

“Oil distribution is an 

industry that is not 

very profitable at the 

best of times 

compared with 

others. Industry 

analysts Plimsoll are 

always reporting 

how many 

distributor 

companies are in 

financial trouble. 

“As a rule, customers get a pretty good 

deal on their fuel prices and claims of 

savings to be made by buying groups 

often beggar belief. This can be because 

the groups compare the lowest price 

with the highest quote for the group 

instead of comparing the lowest group 

price with the lowest price for an 

individual order. 

“FPS is working with Action with 

Communities in Rural England to 

provide guidelines for buying groups. 

These will explain realistically what can 

be achieved with a buying group to 

assist in getting the best for both 

parties, thus ensuring the long term 

viability of the industry and retention of 

choice for the consumer.” 

News 

Police issue 

warning as fuel 

thefts increase 

Police have investigated a series of 

thefts from heating oil tanks in 

rural areas as rising prices make 

the product more attractive to 

thieves. 

In December, more than £2,600worth 

of oil was stolen in four 

separate raids in Worcestershire, 

and on 11 January, hundreds of 

litres of oil were stolen from a 

Herefordshire farm. 

About £400 was taken from a tank 

in Besford Bridge, near Pershore 

and, three days later, there was 

another theft nearby of £450 of oil. 

Over the next two days, £900 of oil 

was taken from two other 

addresses. 

West Mercia police recommended 

householders to fit security lights 

and alarms that sound when the oil 

level changes dramatically. 

Kingspan’s WatchmanAlarm uses a 

transmitter on top of the tank and 

ultrasonic level techniques to 

measure the tank oil level 

continually. The information is 

displayed on an LCD screen on a 

receiver plugged into a house 

mains socket. As a normal monitor, 

it displays a pump symbol 

indicating a top-up is needed when 

the tank level falls below 10 per 

cent, and there is an audible buzzer 

option. However, the device 

doubles as a theft and leak 

warning system; the receiver emits 

a siren warning sound if the tank 

oil level drops by more than 1.5 cm 

per minute. 

Steve Davis, of Midland Fuel Oil, 

said his customers were showing a 

lot of interest in the device, which 

his tank installer was fitting for 

£150 including VAT.

Meter monitors 

quantities and 

locations 

Alpeco’s new I-Meter system 

captures data that enables 

companies to record exactly when, 

where and how much product has 

been delivered. The tamper-proof 

device connects to a calibrated flow 

meter on board the fuel delivery 

vehicle and, alongside full details of 

product deliveries, it provides 

accurate vehicle tracking so points of 

delivery are recorded. It captures 

electronic flow meter data and 

intuitively logs the information onto 

a map and grid, providing a feature 

that Alpeco believe has not seen 

before in the petrochemical industry. 

Data captured by the I-Meter can be 

viewed 24/7 from any computer. 

Alpeco are offering to fit a unit 

free of charge with all new orders 

for Alpeco truck systems 

incorporating the TE550 MK2 

electronic register. 

● Alpeco has provided tanker 

builder Magyar with equipment for 

two tankers supplied to 

Southampton-based Wessex 

Petroleum to handle oil product 

consignments for Exxon Mobil. 

Alpeco componentry includes dual 

manifolds, two pumps, two LC 

meters with TE550 dual electronic 

registers and CPUs. Adrian Baskott, 

Alpeco’s Sales & Marketing Director

GB Lubricants and Fuels 

sets the standard... 

GB’s Tim Bates (left) receives the certificate from David McLean of the British 

Standards Institution. 

GB LUBRICANTS AND FUELS believes it 

is the first independent company in the 

European industry to achieve the 

international standard for Integrated 

Management Systems, PAS 99:2006. 

PAS 99:2006 provides a framework for 

the three existing standards – Quality 

Standard ISO 9001:2008, Environmental 

Management Standard 14001:2004 and 

Occupational Health and Safety 

Standard OHSAS 18001:2007 – to be 

integrated into a single, unitary 

structure. 

Managing Director, Tim Bates, said: “The 

level of investment both in terms of 

financial input and management time 

has been rewarded with this 

accreditation. The PAS 99:2006 

accreditation provides both customers 

and suppliers with independent 

assurance that the internal controls, 

efficiency and effectiveness have been 

certified to the highest contemporary 

standards. The initiatives and standards 

that we employ are geared towards 

meeting our health, safety and 

environmental responsibilities, whilst 

improving the quality of the overall 

service that we provide to our 

customers.” 

Being awarded PAS 99:2006 is not, 

however, the only recent improvement 

the company has made to enhance its 

service. The laboratory has been totally 

refurbished and new equipment, such as 

ICP, CCS, demulsification tester and pour 

point apparatus, installed. The company 

has also obtained planning permission 

to increase bulk storage by an 

additional 800 tonnes and envisages 

starting the first stage of this project 

shortly. 

GB Lubricants and GB Fuels are the 

operating divisions of Goodall Bates & 

Todd Ltd, which was founded in 1877 

and the current Managing Director is 

the fourth generation to run the 

Tyneside-based family-owned and

SIMON STORAGE HAS TIED UP a deal to 

store and handle road fuels at its Seal 

Sands Terminal, Teesside, for Harvest 

Energy. 

Simon is providing 47,000m 3 of tankage 

for unleaded and super unleaded 

gasoline storage and blending, 

automated road loading facilities, and 

bioethanol in-line injection. This is in 

addition to 35,500m 3 of tankage already 

in use for diesel and biodiesel batch 

blending. Harvest says the Seal Sands 

storage will provide a fast and 

convenient new distribution facility for 

the company’s forecourt retailer 

customers in North East England. 

The fully automated road tanker 

loading systems designed and built by 

Simon can pump at up to 2,250 litres per 

minute from each bottom loading arm. 

This provides a typical gate-to-gate time 

of C 

15 minutes for each 35,000 - 40,000 

litre road tanker. The facilities include a 

vapour recovery unit to capture 

displaced vapours from road loading, 

and storage tank internal floating roofs 

to suppress evaporation of stored 

gasoline and components. 

Harvest Energy currently supplies 

approximately 10% of the UK’s motor 

fuel requirements. 

Simon Projects, the project engineering 

division of Simon Storage, is now 

completing a multi million pound 

reinvestment programme to meet 

Harvest’s requirements. All necessary 

infrastructure has been upgraded to 

operate within post-Buncefield safety 

and environmental guidelines. Phase 

one, provision of three 5,500m 3 tanks 

equipped with new floating roofs and 

specialised blending equipment, has 

already been completed.

FPS activity update 

DECC DOWNSTREAM OIL 

INDUSTRY FORUM 

FPS attended the January meeting of 

the Dept of Energy & Climate Change’s 

(DECC) Downstream Oil Industry Forum, 

which was addressed by Energy Minister 

Charles Hendry. The Minister thanked 

the industry for the part it played in 

getting oil to end users in the winter 

freeze. FPS was asked to summarise for 

him what could be done to overcome 

the challenges of any future periods of 

bad weather. 

The meeting also discussed the problems 

being encountered with biofuels and 

how the Forum’s work on improving the 

resilience of the industry’s infrastructure 

would be progressed. The Minister 

expressed his intention to attend future 

Forum meetings. 

FUEL QUALITY DIRECTIVE 

The private pleasure craft and standby 

generator markets are extremely 

concerned about the lack of availability 

of gas oil that is guaranteed FAME free. 

The problems likely to occur with long 

term storage of fuel containing FAME 

and the higher propensity of FAME to 

absorb water with resultant increased 

microbial growth are unacceptable to 

these users. 

Distributors must rely on their suppliers 

to inform them of the FAME content of 

gas oil. However, unless clear 

information is available, distributors 

cannot, in turn, inform their customers 

of the FAME content. FPS and other oil 

industry trade associations and end user 

representatives were due to meet DfT at 

the beginning of March to try to resolve 

this unsatisfactory situation. 

GREEN DEAL AND 

BIOFUELS POLICY 

FPS met the Dept of Energy & Climate 

Change (DECC) at the end of February to 

discuss how the Government’s Green 

Deal will slot in with the oil distribution 

industry. We are pleased to report that 

there will be plenty of energy-reducing 

options compatible with oil heating 

within the scheme to encourage existing 

users to stick with oil. 

Two consultations are due from the 

Dept for Transport on the Renewable 

Energy directive (RED) and the Fuel 

Quality directive (FQD). FPS has 

expressed concern about any intention 

to extend the Renewable Transport Fuel 

Obligation (RTFO) to gas oil. 

OILSAVE WEBSITE 

FPS has a voluntary agreement with 

DECC to help FPS members fulfil their 

obligation to provide energy efficiency 

advice and services to end users. As part 

of this undertaking, FPS set up its 

Oilsave website – www.oilsave.org.uk. 

FPS met with DECC officials in February 

to discuss how to improve the website 

to provide more information for 

consumers and businesses. 

The current voluntary agreement expires 

at the end of 2011 and FPS will be 

negotiating with DECC on a new 

agreement which may oblige the 

industry to do more in order to meet the 

EC legislation. 

ENERGY SEMINAR 

FPS attended an energy seminar at the 

Conservative HQ with Energy Minister 

Charles Hendry and MP Laura Sandys, 

who is a member of the Energy & 

Climate Change Select Committee, 

addressing the meeting and discussing 

energy policy. Much of the emphasis 

was on development of renewable 

energy, but fossil fuels were well 

represented and it is acknowledged that 

they will continue to form a vital part of 

the country’s energy mix for many years 

to come. 

IRELAND 

NEW GAS OIL STANDARD 

The Irish standards body, NSAI, issued a 

draft for comment of the revision of its 

standard for gas oil. The new standard 

contains provision for gas oil to contain 

up to 7% FAME. 

In view of the problems being 

encountered in the UK with gas oil 

containing FAME, FPS responded to the 

consultation proposing that the 

standard should contain a requirement 

for the FAME content to be indicated. 

FPS incoming 

THE FPS COUNCIL HAS APPOINTED 

MARK ASKEW to succeed Susan 

Hancock as Chief Executive of the FPS. 

Mark joins FPS from the Nuclear Institute 

where he has been Executive Secretary 

since 2006. He will work alongside Susan 

until she retires in the summer. 

He said: “I’m delighted to be joining the 

organisation. The FPS has always worked 

very hard for its membership and I 

intend to continue with that tradition.” 

“The most effective representation 

comes from the whole of the sector 

working together. Achieving this will 

mean increasing membership, especially 

in Ireland. With increased numbers, we 

can establish an even stronger industry 

presence, promote successes and address 

challenges and issues to best effect. We 

will need to develop further our 

Onerous task –ho 

By David Hatherell, FPS President 

WHEN SUSAN HANCOCK advised me 

last summer that she wanted to retire in 

June 2011, I knew it was going to be a 

difficult pair of shoes to fill. I was also 

somewhat daunted at the task of 

choosing a new CEO to look after our 

Federation, feeling huge responsibility 

for both selecting the right candidate 

and also being seen to do it fairly and 

openly. 

Coming to the end of my presidency in 

April, it was important to select a 

candidate whom future presidents 

would be happy to work with so I 

gained authority from Council to devise 

a selection process and recruit a new 

CEO with the assistance of Senior Vice- 

President David Todd (Gleaner) and 

Junior Vice-President Steve Davis 

(Midland Fuel Oils). 

We created a job description, agreed 

selection criteria and terms and decided 

that the candidate needed to be able to 

start in time to be involved in the 2011 

FPS EXPO and Dinner. We then 


Chief Executive appointed 

communication to the wider community 

in which we operate.” 

“I hope to encourage the sharing of best 

practice between member companies 

and to extend the already successful 

training offered by the FPS into other 

operational areas. Of course, I hope to 

get to know the sector and its members 

better, because it is only through 

understanding them and their needs 

thoroughly that we can all work 

together towards a more prosperous 

future.” 

Mark, 50, joins FPS following 30 years of 

management across a range of sectors. 

He has run the Nuclear Institute’s 

secretariat, co-ordinated membership 

activities and organised technical and 

commercial events on a national and 

European scale. A key function has been 

providing knowledge of the nuclear 

w the key role was filled 

advertised the opportunity widely to ensure we could attract 

candidates with oil industry knowledge and also those with 

experience of running membership organisations. 

We received a relatively small number of applications, but as 

the advertising had been so specific, they were all of a high 

quality. With some difficulty we shortlisted six candidates for 

interview at the FPS office. From this we further shortlisted 

two candidates and invited Susan Hancock to join the panel 

for the final interview. 

We have appointed Mark Askew, who comes with excellent 

references from the Aluminium Federation and the Nuclear 

Institute. He impressed the panel with his understated 

competence, his experience of combining two disparate 

organisations in the nuclear industry and his proven ability to 

rapidly gain a technical knowledge of a complex industry. 

I wish him a long, happy and successful career in our 

Federation. 

● See page 27 – The benefits of trade associations 

industry to, and building links with, 

Government, academia, the media and 

service providers. Among other 

achievements, Mark also managed the 

merger of The Institution of Nuclear 

Engineers and the British Nuclear Energy 

Society to form the Nuclear Institute and 

he went on to develop policies and 

strategy for the new body. 

Prior to joining the Nuclear Institute, 

Mark spent 10 years with the Aluminium 

Federation, much of it as Technical 

Director. Again, he ran the secretariat 

and provided membership services and 

liaison with other organisations. He 

arrived at the representative body after 

extensive supervisory and management 

experience with companies in that 

sector. 

Mark holds a BSc (Hons) in IT and 

Computing. Aficionados of the annual 

David Hatherell

Hancock and David 

Todd were all

that Mark is also a golfer and he enjoys 

DIY, hill walking and music too.

Downstream combination 

builds bigger readership 

THE NUMBER OF VISITORS reading 

Downstream on the web at 

www.downstreammagazine.co.uk 

is on the rise. 

There were over 3,000 hits in December, 

over 2,900 in January and more than 

3,100 in February for the Downstream 

Winter issue. The website was only 

launched in July 2010, when it received 

around 1,000 visitors. 

The combination of the printed 

magazine and the website, where the 

current Downstream is published as a 

free e-zine, gives a matchless way to 

contact the oil distribution industry both 

in print and online. Any advert in the 

printed magazine (provided it contains a 

web address in the right format) links 

directly to the advertiser’s website from 

the Downstream website. In effect, an 

advert in Downstream gives you free 

ongoing website presence and multiple 

readership of the print version. 

“It’s a great way for people in the 

industry to get what they want and the 

rise in our web traffic shows how the 

magazine is becoming increasingly 

popular,” said Vanessa Cook, FPS 

Marketing Manager. 

Over 2,000 copies of this Spring issue of 

Downstream are mailed free to oil 

distribution industry readers within FPS 

member companies and to subscribers, 

and even more are given out to 

delegates at FPS EXPO because it carries 

the official EXPO guide. 

The website and printed issue of 

Downstream are a formidable 

combination. Breaking news is carried 

live in the rolling news section of the 

Downstream website and the

FPS Credit Checker system 

goes to online format 

THE FPS REGIONAL CREDIT 

REGISTERS, a vital tool in helping 

distributors to avoid taking on 

customers with a history of nonpayments 

for oil, are going online 

for speedier information updates. 

Avoiding one bad debtor can easily 

save more than the cost of 

subscribing to the registers, as 

increasing numbers of distributors 

are finding. 

The new online 

system has been 

developed by an 

FPS member in 

the south of 

England. The 

new FPS Credit 

Checker is a 

secure online 

system that can 

be interrogated 

at any time for 

up to date 

information, 

searching either 

by debtor’s name 

or by postcode. 

Members put the entries on 

themselves, rather than sending 

them to FPS to enter. They then have 

access at any time to the up to date 

list of defaulters. FPS will be 

monitoring entries on a daily basis to 

make sure that they do not 

contravene any legislation governing 

what can and cannot be included on 

a credit register. 

FPS member Mark Nolan, of Bicesterbased 

Nolan Oils, says: “Credit 

Checker has proved invaluable to us. 

It has saved us taking on quite a few 

customers who owe other oil 

companies in the area. The more 

companies that sign up to it the 

better it will be. It’s easy to use and it 

only takes a few minutes to upload a 

debtor.” 

Credit Checker covers the whole of 

Great Britain and can easily be

extended to Northern Ireland if there 

is demand. Distributors will be able 

to participate on the basis of 

postcodes. Each postcode subscribed 

to, eg LS, will cost £25 per annum for 

FPS members and £30 for nonmembers. 

Subscribers will also have 

access to national entries, ie 

companies such as constructors and 

civil engineers that operate in a 

variety of regions, for no additional 

charge. 

One of the 

advantages of 

the online system 

is that it links to 

Midas and Codas 

software systems 

so that orders are 

checked 

automatically 

against the 

database entries. 

Fuelsoft are 

currently 

adapting their 

system to provide 

this facility on 

their software as 

well. 

The new system will not affect the 

FPS Riskgram system that will 

continue in its current format, 

providing subscribers with proactive 

notification of urgent risks.

New member 

sprinting towards 

expansion 

News 

New FPS member Sprint Fuels is promising 

homes and businesses in Kent and the 

South East an expanded service and 

improved online ordering from a trusted, 

local independent. 

Sprint Fuels has nearly doubled its 

delivery fleet with the purchase of new 

liveried trucks. At the same time, it has 

launched a new website providing instant 

quotes and online ordering. 

“The success of our business lies in our 

personal touch,” says managing director 

Henry Drake. “We are a small 

independent who really understand our 

customers and will go the extra mile to 

maintain deliveries. We are delighted that 

more and more customers are 

appreciating our difference which is 

helping us to expand.” 

The commitment of Sprint Fuels to its 

customers saw deliveries continue right 

through December’s snow when many 

homes and businesses were desperate. In 

addition, the company promotes a next 

day delivery service on its website, which 

provides further peace of mind to 

customers. 

Sprint Fuels operates 24 hours a day, 

seven days a week, and offers an out-ofhours 

commercial fuel delivery service. 

With the mid-winter rush for home 

heating fuel on the wane, now the 

business is gearing up for the busy period 

in agricultural fuel delivery. 

Orders can be placed over 

the phone but the new 

website is also keeping 

the fleet busy. “Every 

morning, we pick up a 

large batch of orders 

received overnight 

through our website,” 

says Henry. “Thankfully 

our new trucks mean we 

can maintain our enviable 

delivery record.”

Deliveries 

Hoses: Wet, Wet, W...... Dry? 

HOSES… DO YOU reduce the bore size and lighten the load for your driver, thereby also 

reducing the delivery rate and lengthening delivery time in the process… or do you run 

the risk of back injury and a subsequent claim for compensation? 

Mechtronic take a look at this familiar conundrum with fresh eyes. 

Those who have been in our industry 

long enough will remember that dry line 

systems were the standard almost three 

decades ago. Because they allowed the 

hose to be emptied, the driver had a 

lighter ‘pull out’ on the next delivery. 

This also meant that the bore size of the 

hose could be maximised to speed up 

the delivery. 

So why have wet line systems prevailed 

since then? 

The answer is pretty straightforward. It 

was deemed that dry line systems were 

more susceptible to accidental or 

deliberate under delivery. As regulation 

increased, the initial insistence that a 

trigger nozzle couldn’t be used in 

conjunction with such a system 

effectively put a stop to the use of most 

dry line systems in the UK with the 

majority of operators turning to the wet 

line system. 

Manual handling 

The standard issue reeling hose for a 

tanker was typically 150ft of 1.5” 

nominal bore. Increasing regulation and 

enforcement of health and safety 

legislation has led to our industry 

adopting the European standard of 

175ft of 1 3/8” making the handling of 

the hose easier for the driver. 

System performance 

There is a cost to increasing hose length 

and reducing bore size in terms of the 

delivery rate of the system. With the 

pressure on our industry to reduce costs 

and maximise efficiency, this subject is a 

current topic of debate between users, 

hose suppliers, tanker builders and 

equipment suppliers. 

Mechtronic decided that it would be 

beneficial if some clarity could be 

brought to this subject by conducting 

tests with an actual tanker using various 

lengths and bore size hoses. Fortunately 

Gavin Hewitt, Operations Director of 

Rock Oil in Warrington, felt the same 

way and loaned us his Volvo 6 wheeler, 

sporting a Mechtronic MaxFlow 400E 

metering and manifold system. Hoses 

were provided by Hose Lines of 

Manchester. 

The results 

System: Mechtronic MaxFlow 400e 

Line pressure: 7 Bar (100psi) 

Conclusions 

Flowrate – the difference is huge – over 

25% more flow through the bigger 

hose. In basic terms, a 6 wheeler 

delivering 6 million litres annually is 

going to take almost 1.5 hours a week 

longer to unload. That’s a staggering 68 

hours a year! 

The sweet spot….. 

A dryline system with 175ft of 1.5” hose 

still affords the reach capability the 

industry has adopted, in the main, but it 

is 35% lighter than an equivalent length 

of wetted 1 3/8” hose. 

The savings...... 

Based on the aforementioned results, 

savings of approximately £28/week or 

£1221/year are achievable on fuel and 

wages. Then factor in the costs for the 

repair and maintenance associated with 

70 hours’ idling per year of the truck 

engine, reduced replacement costs for 

hose reel motors and hose due to the 

reduction of weight and friction of the 

hose, time off through injury and the 

associated costs of an industrial injury 

claim and there is a very compelling case 

for choosing the dryline system. 

DryLine is back! 

Mechtronic now have full National 

Weights and Measures approval for their 

DryLine system. This has been achieved 

by guaranteeing the integrity of the 

delivery process, thus allowing the use 

of a trigger nozzle in the system. Most 

importantly, the driver is able to attend 

the delivery point throughout the 

delivery and purge the line without 

having to go back to the vehicle. 

Accurate sizing of the ‘blowdown’ 

receiver delivers a smooth evacuation of 

the delivery line with no kicks. 


‘DryLine is the 

way forward’ 

JONATHAN DAVIES (right) of DJ Davies 

has been running the Mechtronic 

system for seven months and 

comments: “We get the considerable 

manual handling and delivery rate 

benefits associated with dry line 

operation, but without the need to visit 

the truck two or three times during the 

delivery process which we have had to 

do with other dry line systems. It ensures 

that the driver can remain where he 

should be - at the delivery point, 

reducing the risk of spills. The system 

allows remote real time monitoring of 

litres delivered as well as offering the 

option to terminate the delivery before 

the preset is reached with an automated 

blow down feature. 

“This system is so efficient in its 

operation that we routinely achieve 

3x7000 litre loads per day, making this 

vehicle our most profitable on the fleet. 

The system is second to none, another 

larger truck with the Mechtronic DryLine 

system will be entering service this 

summer. In summary, given the current 

difficulties associated with driver 

handling of heavy wetted hoses and the 

flow rate reduction if you reduce bore 

size, DryLine has to be the way forward. 

Combine it with Mechtronic’s ease of 

Deliveries 

use approach and you are left feeling 

that this product will take the market by 

storm.”

Welcome 

Hello and Welcome to FPS EXPO 2011. This year, you 

can expect to see a host of new and first time 

exhibitors alongside many long established regulars. 

FPS EXPO is the only event in the UK and Republic of 

Ireland that is totally dedicated to the oil distribution 

industry. The number of exhibitors and the number of 

distributors who come to Harrogate from all over the 

UK, Ireland and much further afield for the show prove 

just how valuable the event is to the industry as a 

whole. 

After another trying Winter, when machinery, manpower 

and systems were tested to the absolute limit, 

FPS EXPO provides an opportunity to look at how fuel 

oil distributors can add specialist equipment, software, 

services and advice to prepare them for future Winters 

and beyond. 

We have a top class workshop programme running 

each day and the workshops are FREE for all visitors. 

The subjects of Reeling Hoses and DDC Couplings, 

Risks in the Oil Distribution Industry and The Fuel 

Pricing Maze are sure to be of interest. 

FPS EXPO runs to a well-established format, and it is 

one that works for everyone in the industry. Check the 

wealth of new products, network with industry 

colleagues, and then enjoy a 

great town. 

We look forward to seeing you at 

Harrogate!

Yet again Harlequin is pleased to reaffirm its 

commitment to the downstream oil industry by 

exhibiting at FPS EXPO and being official Delegate 

and Press Badge Sponsor. 

As one of Europe's leading fuel oil tank 

manufacturers, Harlequin values its relationship with 

the industry and with FPS. As an ISO9001, ISO14001 

and OHSAS 18001 accredited business, the 

company has always sought to minimise the impact 

of its business and its products on the environment. 

In 2009, Harlequin confirmed its intention to lead the 

industry and concentrate on the manufacture of 

environmentally preferred bunded fuel tanks as, from 

an environmental risk assessment (ERA) perspective, 

single skin tanks are classed as 'high risk' and 

bunded tanks, 'low risk'. 

It is an honour and a privilege for OAMPS to again 

sponsor the FPS Driver of the Year Award. 

This is now the 11 th year that this award has been 

given and we extend our thanks to the FPS staff and 

the judges who have a particularly hard job to 

perform in both the initial screening and the final 

choice. 

QBE Insurance Group is Standard & Poor’s ‘A+’ rated 

and is one of the world’s leading international 

insurers and reinsurers. We operate out of 49 

countries across the globe, with a presence in all key

for its healthy appetite for risk and willingness to work 

flexibly with brokers and clients. We do not believe 

that one size fits all or that we should follow what 

other insurers do and are always willing to take a view 

on specialist risks. 

Reynolds Trade Credit is delighted to sponsor the 

Employee of the Year Award. We extend our 

thanks to the FPS, the judges, the participants and, 

indeed, the companies they work for. Talented and 

dedicated people of all ages deserve recognition

a very small percentage of our overall GB sales. 

Harlequin believe that the time is right to move further 

towards the total elimination of single skin tanks from 

the marketplace and from 31 st January, the company 

will delist all single skin tanks from its literature. 

In other exciting news for the company, Harlequin will 

be introducing a brand new range of Slimline Fuel

Fuel Quality Issues? Combined with 

parent group Adler & Allan, E&S 

Environmental has the most advanced fuel 

cleaning systems available. The group’s 

range of unique mobile tank cleaning and 

fuel polishing systems can treat fuel 

volumes ranging from as little as 3,000 

litres up to large-scale works requiring 

100,000 litres per hour treatment. Mobile 

tank cleaning allows fuel to be cleaned 

whilst still in the tank, making the whole 

process more cost-effective. 

Fuel Polishing, the effective solution to all 

fuel contamination issues. E&S 

Environmental has over 30 years 

experience in fuel quality and has become 

a market leader in advanced fuel polishing 

solutions. 

Initially launched in 2007 by Aylesbury 

based Alpeco Limited, the TE550 electronic 

meter system has recently been 

superseded by the TE550 MK 2 which now 

boasts greatly enhanced functionality and 

operation in line with customer demands. 

The TE550 MK 2 incorporates the facility to 

handle multiple products, additive injection, 

temperature compensation, plus electronic 

flow and pressure control giving precise 

control of the high and low pressure 

settings whilst obviating the need for 

servicing and adjustment of the mechanical 

flow switch of the previous model. The 

redesigned cabinet now offers clear, 

simple-to-use and understand control over 

the entire delivery system and houses a 

new-style, fully-expandable, future-proofed 

CPU with enhanced functionality. 

Alpha Environmental are proud to be 

exhibiting at FPS EXPO 2011 for the first 

time. 

As one of the UK and Irelands leading 

domestic oil spill specialists Alpha have 

successfully provided thousands of 

homeowners with a trouble free and 

pragmatic remediation. Our clients include 

many of the UK and Irelands largest 

insurance companies, loss adjusters, 

government agencies and PLC’s. Alpha’s 

heritage as one of the founders of the 

remediation industry was based on 

providing innovative problem solving 

technologies, skilled spill solution 

strategies and customer management 

leadership. 


Highly trained professionals equipped with 

the latest testing and filtration technology 

supported by a national network of fuel 

polishing teams, ready to respond to 

smallscale jobs or large projects to restore 

fuel quality. To prevent the build up of 

microbial growth and the discolouration 

and degradation of bio-diesel, a 

preventative maintenance programme 

should be implemented. E&S offer Good 

House Keeping and Total Fuel Maintenance 

& Fuel Management Services. E&S 

provides a specialist fuel polishing service 

to recover good fuel from contaminated 

fuel or old degraded supplies. Even 

standard storage scenarios can create a 

need for fuel cleaning. 

Amended NMO/MID system approvals for 

both the LC3 and TE550 electronic meter 

systems allow temperature compensation 

and enable a minimum product delivery 

volume of just 150 litres whilst a new endof-shift 

print-out format completes this 

'much-improved' product offering. 

Users specifying the new TE550 MK 2 

electronic metering system for their next 

fuel delivery tanker automatically qualify for 

a free i-meter with 12 month’s free vehicle 

tracking.

DP Fuel Tank Services has nearly 50 years 

experience in the highly specialised fields 

of fuel storage tank cleaning and fuel site 

decommissioning; fields that require total 

attention to health and safety. 

DP FTS cleans every size of tank, from 

small domestic heating oil tanks, through 

underground forecourt tanks, to massive 

4,500m3 industrial heavy oil tanks. 

The cleaning is done to ensure the tanks 

can be removed and safely sent for 

recycling, or to cure or prevent problems 

caused by sludge and biofuels. With all 

road and marine fuels now containing 5% 

biofuel, this last issue is becoming an 

increasingly important one for forecourt 

operators. 

Companies that adopt automation early 

can secure a competitive advantage that 

will allow them grow at a faster pace than 

the manual based operators. The OutTrak 

Mobile Fuel Management Software is a fully 

integrated mobile solution that allows you 

process orders electronically in the field. 

OutTrak can track your products showing 

start time to end time, type, quantity and 

also send all of this data back to the office 

30 seconds after completion of the 

delivery. Data can be viewed from any 

computer in the world that has internet

In addition, when inside the tank for 

cleaning, DP FTS can also offer a 

ultrasound tank checking scan that can 

give the owner a clear picture of where the 

tank is thinning, something that can lead to 

leaks in the future. 

In conjunction with RPM, DP FTS can now 

also offer a tank lining service, which can

Dunraven’s Apollo tank monitors are the 

preferred choice of distributors, tank 

manufacturers and oil-heating technicians 

nationwide. 

The original Apollo was the first ultrasonic 

oil monitor to be successfully introduced 

into the UK and Ireland, whilst Apollo Visual 

remains the only product offering 

simultaneous on-tank and in-house 

monitoring. This unique combination allows 

drivers to ascertain fuel levels inside any 

tank equipped with an Apollo Visual, 

minimising the risk of overfills. 

At FPS EXPO, Dunraven is once again 

demonstrating its commitment to 

continuous product development, with new 

additions to the Apollo range. 

For 25 years ecom instruments have 

specialised in the manufacture of ATEX 

Certified Hazardous Area Equipment which 

we supply through our global network of 

subsidiaries. Our ATEX certified products 

are designed to be utilised within the oil, 

gas, petrochemical and mining industries 

as well as in the transportation of 

hazardous materials. 

Your safety is paramount to us and our 

innovative products are manufactured to 

the highest standards, offering maximum 

functionality whilst using the latest in 

explosion protection technology. 

The ecom instruments range is divided into 

four product categories: Mobile Computing

With substantial experience of working with 

fuel distributors around the UK and Ireland, 

Econoprint (UK) Ltd have gained extensive 

knowledge on how distributors operate and 

what printed documents and marketing 

material they require to maintain a 

successful operation. 

From being a very reliable and competitive 

supplier of the key day-to-day documents 

such as delivery tickets and corporate 

stationery to regularly assisting distributors 

with their marketing campaigns, our 

enthusiasm to help you gain maximum 

results, backed with our extensive 

knowledge of the print and distribution 

industry, means we can prove to be a 

valuable extension of your own marketing 

team.

Dunraven’s ground breaking unit, 

the Apollo Visual isn’t just the 

first oil monitor of its type… it’s 

the only oil monitor of its type! 

Every Apollo Visual uniquely 

displays the level of oil on both 

the transmitter outside, as well 

as on the receiver unit inside. 

This allows delivery personnel to 

see the level of fuel prior to and 

during refueling, with the display 

rising as the tank is filled, 

reducing the risk, liability and 

cost associated with overfills. 

From years of experience, we know what is 

important for fuelling hoses. Our hoses are 

distinguished by their high operational 

safety and continuous quality.

Dunraven’s Apollo Remote 

Management System (RMS) allows 

distributors to monitor customers’ 

tanks from their depot… with no 

faxes, e-mails or bureau service 

required! A choice of server options 

allows RMS to be hosted off-site or 

on-site, dependent upon distributor’s 

preferences. RMS doesn’t just help 

distributors avoid run-outs and 

emergency deliveries, RMS enhances 

productivity too. The result of an 

intensive development process, RMS 

is a tested and trusted system – 

proven at installations throughout the 

UK, Ireland and North America.

Last year was our first FPS Show and we

to extend our stand space at this year’s 

show. 

Fuel Companies were really impressed last 

year with the Inner spill tray design,

tray allows any overspilled fuel to be 

drained back into the tank, not down into 

the bund area. 

This year we have added the additional

Developed specifically for the fuel 

distribution market, Perito Fuel - an 

integrated accounts and mobile solution 

from Equiniti ICS - helps to reduce costs, 

maximise sales opportunities and improve 

credit control. 

Perito Fuel V6 incorporates the latest Intel 

64 bit technology, providing a fast and 

secure platform that has many time saving 

features for the Fuel Industry. These include 

on screen Credit/Debit card authorisation, 

direct links to websites for automatic order 

taking and Perito’s new predictive ordering. 

Perito Mobile allows information to be 

passed securely between the office 

manager and drivers on the road so 

emergency orders, route changes and 

updates on stock can be communicated in 

real time. The office can visually track the 

slave readout showing quantity of product 

being delivered whilst at delivery point, 

remotely from the tanker. The latest 

development also allows engine start/stop 

from the Display Key Pad. 

Further enhancements include a new In- 

Cab Driver Interface providing Navigation 

System, Reversing Camera Display and 

most importantly 2-way communication 

with the back office system enabling orders 

to be received, tickets printed and 

automatic transfer of delivery information 

directly to the fuel oil distributor via GPRS, 

in real time, allowing immediate invoicing! 

Wet Leg Sensors for each compartment

Under the Exocet brand, FAST continues to 

grow its fuel additive business specialising 

in the supply to and support of fuel 

distributors in the UK and Ireland. Building 

on the success of specialist additives 

designed for vaporising burners (AGAs) and 

pressure jet boilers, which we continue to 

develop, additives have also been 

introduced to upgrade gas oil and alleviate 

some of the issues being brought about by 

the change in gas oil specifications. 

Additionally, and as a direct response to 

requests at last year’s FPS show, we now 

have a premium diesel additive (Diesel 

Supreme) to enhance the combustion 

performance of regular ULSD, providing for 

a smoother, more consistent power delivery 

on all types of diesel engine. New at the 

New model from Feldbinder makes its UK 

debut at FPS 2011! Feldbinder UK Ltd will 

be exhibiting our New urban tanker for 

metered delivery of fuel. This new model 

has a capacity of 36,200L with 5 

compartments. It is equipped with all the 

latest technology for metered bulk 

deliveries from EMCO and includes the 

ESVE hydraulic rear steering axle. 

Innovative design has ensured 

volume/length/height is optimized and 

unladed weight of 6600kgs has been 

achieved. 

Alongside this Feldbinder present our new 

2011 6 compartment spirit tanker. 

Continued design developments have 

delivered additional weight savings and 

further product improvements. 

Filtertechnik offer a wide range of standard 

and customised filtration units to clean up 

most oil or fuels. This includes 

contaminants such as water, diesel bug 

and solid particulates. 

Our technical team can design and build 

any unit to any size, from small mobile fuel 

filtration system to large on-site 

commissions. Choose from our range of 

coalsecer/separators , absorption or 

turbine series filter housings. 

Fuel Analysis. Filteretchnik not only offer 

fuel analysis for water content and 

contamination levels, we can also offer the 

correct filtration principle to resolve your 

fuel contamination problems 

end of 2010 were Exocet FuelStore, which 

increases a fuel’s shelf life and Exocet 

Power Restorer, a powerful engine cleaner 

designed to reduce deposit build-up 

caused by new fuel formulations (e.g. 

increased bio-component content) and 

thus increase engine efficiencies. 

FAST continues to offer product training to 

its customers and is keen to work with 

them in all aspects of their business from 

the design of bespoke fuel additives to 

telesales consultancy, which was a major 

project for us in 2010. 

Both tankers come with high quality 

German engineering and design that 

continues to keep Feldbinder as one of 

Europe’s leading tanker manufacturers.

Distribution software and ePOD On-Truck 

systems have been used by Distributors 

ranging from small family-run businesses to 

groups with large tanker fleets operating 

from numerous depots. 

Tankerbase and ePOD combine to provide 

a proven end-end system that manages 

Marketing, Customer Orders, Loading 

Tankers, Deliveries, Depot/Tanker Stock 

and Financial Control. 

Tankerbase’s appeals to both small and 

large Distributors because it allows 

standard functions to be switched off when 

not required, and options can be installed 

to manage specific business activities (e.g. 

Credit Card transactions, Fuel Cards, LPG). 

Invitation: At KALYMNOS S.A. Fuel 

Handling Equipment, products are 

designed with imagination and knowhow. It 

is more than just an expression; it is an 

inspiration and a passion. 

KALYMNOS S.A. Fuel Handling Equipment 

invites you to FPS Show2011 where we will 

present our new products that have been 

designed to capture the attention of 

professionals who demand quality and 

safety each time. 

Kan’to Instruments are continuing with the 

addition of features to its iLEVEL tank 

gauging system. 

Launched during FPS 2010, the system will 

now offer integrated bund alarms for up to 

8 tanks. All gauging information, including 

high-level and bund alarms, can be viewed 

on web page. At this year’s show, on 

stand C13, the latest low-cost gauging 

software will be launched with powerful 

data recording capabilities. 


Tankerbase outputs information to 

Microsoft Office components, and has links 

to specialist systems for Delivery 

Scheduling/Routing, as well as Site Tank 

Monitors, Forecourt Pumps, TAPI 

telephones, Fuel Card agencies and Banks. 

With Tankerbase’s Web Services system, 

you can provide your Customers with a 24 

hour online Webshop to service their 

Account, place and track Orders, and to 

download POD with signature and Delivery 

Meter output details 

The result is a tailor-made Operational tool 

for managing Margins, Credit, Tanker 

Loads, PODs and Stock, and Management 

tool with sophisticated Operational & 

Financial Query & Reporting systems. 

During the last year, Kan’to Instruments 

completed the design, installation and 

commission of a major waste-oil recovery 

plant in Scotland. The turnkey-system 

included automatic tank gauging, 

temperature monitoring and pump/valve 

control throughout the plant.

Mabanaft is an independent fuel wholesaler 

and importer that can offer reliable fuel 

supply and a suite of purchasing options to 

suit any distributor business throughout the 

UK. Here are a few illustrative comments 

made by our customers on how our pricing 

options enable them to gain a competitive 

edge. 

CIF related triggers – “A pricing jewel; a 

mechanism where you can trigger pricing 

before taking delivery thus protecting your 

margin against an order book, or as a tool 

to take advantage of a falling market the 

day after a fall”. 

ICE triggers – “The same advantages as a 

CIF trigger but with the opportunity to take 

advantage of market positions when the 

product differentials are perceived to be 

low”. 

This year our stand will be accommodating 

a 32t Scania for Wessex Petroleum, 

sporting the company’s re-branding logos 

and colours. The tanker is equipped with 

the Mechtronic 800 meter system 

incorporating the visilevel measuring 

system. 

The 16t Volvo we had shown last year, has 

become more popular for operators since 

its inception and again we have one for 

Tinknell Fuels with the latest Emco 

Dataplus 2 metering system and one for 

WCF in Texaco colours fitted with the AH 

precima 500 metering system. 


In recent months Loadtec have been 

appointed UK agent for Toptech Systems 

and now help customers to develop 

automated terminal management systems 

to suit their particular requirements. 

CIF Term Deals – “These daily 

commitments are competitive, and allow 

improved security of supply”. 

Monthly lagged – “By allocating a 

percentage of volume onto this mechanism 

we remove some of the market volatility 

and achieve a pricing advantage in a 

climbing market. It’s also a great tool to 

pass onto customers who want a stable 

monthly price”. 

Fixed Pricing – “This enables you to fix 

your customers pricing over a period of up 

to 12 months ahead”. 

Outside is an 18t Scania for Halso 

Petroleum for their generator refueling 

business. This truck is equipped with a 

Mechtronic 800 metering system along 

with an uplift facility.

knowledge of the customers with whom 

they trade and are made aware, at a very 

early stage, if other suppliers are

RTN/LAKELAND have had an improved 

2010 with a healthy outlook for 2011. 

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, RTN 

have continued to expand since their 

conception in January 1991. We are 

constantly working on innovative designs 

and improved production procedures, 

including a new four bay workshop 

dedicated to service, repairs and testing of 

all types of rigids and trailers. In a very 

competitive market, this will help us 

enhance product quality and reduce 

manufacturing costs where possible. 

We always have a selection of new and 

used tankers in stock for immediate 

delivery, along with a range of stock tanks 

and chassis that can be built to customer 

specifications on short lead times. 

Scania produces heavy trucks from 18tonnes

UK’) was formed in 1984 to engineer, as 

well as sell, service and support Scully 

products in the UK and Irish markets. 

Scully UK comprises a team of dedicated 

direct technical sales and service people. 

We have pioneered mechanical and 

electronic liquid level detection products 

that are synonymous with UK and Irish 

efficiency and environmental safety 

standards for loading, storage and 

transport of petro-chemicals. Consequently 

the Scully name in the UK and Ireland is 

synonymous with the fail-safe loading of 

road and rail tankers and self-checking 

overfill prevention systems. Our products 

have application to a wide range of 

industries where bulk fluids are stored and 

transported. 


Rigid tanker and trailer hire has continued 

to grow steadily. We offer both long and 

short-term rates. As the UK’s largest tanker 

builder, RTN/LAKELAND have a 

respectable forward order book but will 

always endeavour to accommodate 

customer needs. Aluminium tank trailer 

production is consistently strong and

Sensile Technologies supplies solutions to 

the oil & gas industry for remote monitoring 

of fuel tanks – so you’ll always know 

exactly how much petrol, LPG, or heating 

oil is in your tanks, from the comfort of your 

desk. This allows optimized purchases and 

deliveries, reduced logistics costs, 

improved customer service and binding, 

and the insurance that tanks will never run 

dry. 

Coupled with Oillink, our user-friendly 

internet software, the NETRIS® telemetry 

unit provides highly reliable monitoring of 

all kinds of tanks. NETRIS® is the outcome 

of 10 years of experience, combined with 

Sensile Technologies core values of 

constant innovation, clear vision, market 

research, and craving for perfection. 

Sentinel is building on its long history of 

providing reversing aids to suit all rigid and 

articulated truck in all commercial vehicle 

markets. 

On display will be the latest ‘Reverse With 

Radar ‘system. Making use of the latest 

technology, Sentinel have launched a 

reversing system utilizing Doppler radar. 

Systems start at a simple reversing system 

that can offer visual and audible warning to 

the driver through to a fully patented 

system that can also apply the vehicle 

brakes automatically. All systems available 

from Sentinel are fully ADR compliant and 

suitable for the petrochemical industry and 

are already fitted to a major supermarket’s 

fleet of fuel tankers. 

Fuel theft will be on the increase as long as 

the price of fuel goes up. Fuel theft affects 

you, the fuel suppliers: your tankers and 

depots, but also affects fuel retailers, 

transport companies and motorists. 

Nobody knows how much fuel theft costs, 

but the figure is believed to be high. Much 

crime goes unreported. Some businesses 

either lack surveillance systems or use 

analogue systems with a poor image 

quality. 

You suspect someone is siphoning fuel 

regularly. Can you clearly identify the 

suspect? The sqVISION Megapixel High 

Resolution surveillance systems can help 

you achieve that. Our network video 

systems provide sharp high quality images 

with applications such as: facial 

recognition, license plate recognition and 

people and car counting application. 


NETRIS® features an operational life of up 

to 10 years, an innovative and registered 

design that makes it even easier to install 

on all types of tanks, and the ability to 

connect to other units via RF. Customer 

feedback is overwhelmingly positive. 

Our Swiss made and ATEX certified 

systems are relied on by major oil and gas 

merchants: Sensile Technologies currently 

monitors more than 28,000 tanks in 38 

countries. 

Sensile Technologies has been offering 

remote monitoring solution for more than a 

decade and has never lost a customer that 

has installed our solution. 

With the type of environment that 

petrochemical tankers have to work in, the 

system significantly reduces reversing 

accidents, reducing downtime as a result of 

vehicle damage and ultimately saves lives. 

Bespoke requests are welcomed and 

Sentinel have their own mobile engineers to 

install the sentinel award winning systems 

and offer on-going support for their 

products. Full maintenance packages are 

also available to give peace of mind & 

protection for up to five years. 

For your free no obligation trial contact 

Allan at Sentinel Systems. 

The sqVISION intelligent systems have 

motion detection and active tempering 

alarm. You can receive an instant text and 

e-mail with the picture of the intruder to 

your smartphone, PC and laptop. You will 

be able to visualise feeds from your 

business at home or when travelling 

abroad. 

Consider this: sqVISION can help your 

business prevent crime and reduce 

shrinkage.

Cooke Fuels celebrates 

being 165 years young 

COOKE FUELS, ONE OF THE NORTH’S 

leading fuel distributors, is celebrating 

165 years of successful business. 

The company has bases in Padiham in 

Lancashire, Barnsley in South Yorkshire 

and Ellesmere Port and its chairman 

and owner Frank Carroll has been with 

the company since 1977, following his 

own father, who joined Cooke Fuels in 

1961. Frank's son is now aiming to join 

the Cooke Fuels team as soon as he 

completes his studies at Leeds 

Metropolitan University. 

"This was a family business when it was 

owned by the Cookes and that's the 

way we want it to stay now," Frank 

explains. "You could say it's about 

wanting to control your own destiny 

and do things your own way, but even 

more importantly, we feel it's about 

maintaining an identity and developing 

a stronger relationship with all our 

clients." 

The Cooke Fuels vehicle fleet ranges 

from 'baby' tankers up to 40,000 litre 

capacity articulated vehicles. Despite the 

economic climate, Frank is confident 

that the company can expand. 

"We aim to grow in both volume and 

profitability over the next five years," 

he says. "We have some new market 

opportunities that we are investing in 

heavily at the moment, all within the oil 

industry.” 

"That's not to say this is an easy market 

for growth at the moment but we feel 

that, in areas that are within our 

control, we are very strong and we do 

have back stop plans against certain 

events happening." He adds, though, 

that the success of any development 

plans has to be a strong team at every 

level. 

"We are friendly, we are open and we 

like to feel we give all our employees a 

sense of security that they then pass on 

to our customers," he says.

Tank protection against biofuels damage 

With concerns mounting about the 

effects of biofuels on storage tanks, 

Synertest, the French tank relining 

experts, have opened a UK office. 

Synertest says that if oil distributors 

have to clean their tanks at regular 

intervals, it makes sense to consider 

lining them at the same time with a 

material that maintains the structural 

integrity of the tanks. It is offering 

European approved double wall tank 

lining and leak detection systems, plus 

single wall lining systems for both below 

and above ground storage tanks for fuel 

and any other liquid products. Synertest 

say the materials used in the lining 

process are certified to withstand all 

biofuels up to 100% ethanol. It employs 

products that the company has been 

using for its EN13160 certified systems. 

Before a lining is applied, any structural 

defects in the tanks are repaired and 

any structural coating is applied to the 

full surface of the tank rather than just 

the area that has failed. 


Paul Reyner, Synertest@btconnect.com 

News 

New non-slip 

coating ‘provides 

grip and 

durability’ 

A new non-slip anti-corrosion coating 

for use around oil installations has 

been launched by Metallisation Ltd. 

The coating, 28E ARTEC, is said to be 

durable and ideal for use on steel 

floors, decks and panels. 

Untreated steel surfaces can get very 

slippery, especially when wet, and 

are prone to corrosion. Many large 

steel structures, including oil 

platforms, refineries and bridges are 

problematic to paint effectively. 

Thermal spray aluminium (TSA), zinc 

or an alloy of the two provide 

corrosion protection but pure TSA is 

not durable enough to prevent long 

term wear on floor plates. 

Metallisation says that 28E ARCTEC 

does both. 28E ARCTEC coating is 

thermally sprayed and can be applied 

with a rough texture. Metallisation 

claims it provides good grip to avoid 

personal slips or industrial skidding, 

corrosion protection comparable to 

aluminium in aggressive 

environments and easy application 

by a long-standing process. 28E 

ARCTEC coatings have been tested 

using a Pendulum Coefficient of 

Friction tester, in line with 

independent British Standards and 

UK Health and Safety Executive 

guidelines. 

FPS Technical Adviser Michael Ong 

says: “From a simple safety point of 

view, all tanks that require top access 

should have some form of grip 

protection as standard. I can also see 

the need to access tank tops in the 

depots more frequently in order to 

monitor product quality, check 

overspill and tank gauging – all of 

which on a risk assessment would 

point to the requirement to have a 

safe surface.”

Insurance services 

25 

OAMPS PETROCHEMICAL are proud to announce that this is 

the 25 th year we have been associated with the Federation of 

Petroleum Suppliers. 

The Oil Agents Mutual Provident Society, or OAMPS, was 

started in Australia in 1976 by fuel distributors who were, quite 

frankly, fed up with the attitude of the insurance industry to 

their sector! Success followed and in the 1986, OAMPS came to 

the UK and followed the same business model of developing 

close ties with trade associations for the sectors we specialised 

in. We were appointed Insurance Managers to the FPS in the 

same year and have been working closely with the Federation 

ever since. 

In 1999, Zurich Insurance were appointed as exclusive insurers 

for the OAMPS Hazardous Haulage facility and, like ourselves, 

have stayed loyal to the fuel industry ever since. 

Soon after, in 2001, QBE replaced 

our previous partner to insure all 

the non-motor requirements our 

clients have. We have since worked 

in partnership with both Zurich and 

QBE to extend the cover and service 

we provide and are now seen as 

Market Leaders in this field. 

However, we have realised over the 

years that insurance alone is not 

enough. Without a comprehensive 

and structured claims service that 

works quickly and efficiently when 

disaster strikes, any insurance is 

worthless! 

OAMPS Petrochemical have therefore 

developed our own 

in-house Claims Team who deal with all aspects of a claim, 

from initial report to final settlement. Our Claims Team strive 

to offer an outstanding level of service, each and every time 

they are advised of a new claim. 

Claims can cause loss of business, increased costs and stress 

even when dealt with correctly, but with over 75,000 claims 

now having been satisfactorily dealt with and millions of 

pounds paid to our clients, we feel our claims service is as 

streamlined as it can be. However, we are continually looking 

to improve this still, with dedicated loss adjusters for all our 

clients. An online claims reporting system with real-time 

updates is soon to be launched along with the employment of 

more staff to improve our already exceptional service levels. 

It’s not even the vehicle itself that can cause the major issue in 

a claim, but the products you carry day in day out. With new 

legislation now giving the Environment Agency even more 

powers to fine and in extreme cases force companies to cease 

trading, any product spill can cause real, long term issues both 

for the environment and the distributor. 

This is why in 2002 

OAMPS launched 

OHES Environmental, 

a specialist consultancy 

to look after all our 

client spills on behalf of 

insurers. 

reaches 

Since then, OHES has 

grown and grown and have moved into other areas such as 

contaminated land surveys, ecology and fisheries, spillage 

equipment sales and many, many more environmental sectors, 

all of which are used in some form or other by FPS Members. 

We are also launching our new ‘24-7 Response’ service at this 

year’s FPS EXPO in Harrogate, which will provide a new 

standard for ‘Level 1 Response’. OHES then provide Level 2 and 

3 Response using our dedicated contractors to clean up any 

spill. In fact, by the time the Environment Agency turn up, we 

are usually done and are suitably proud of the fact that in all 

our years dealing with hazardous spills, not one of our clients 

have subsequently received an EA fine. 

PTF are also part of the 

OAMPS Group, offering 

training courses to the 

industry. Whether it is 

Driver CPC, Health & 

Safety, DGSA, Working 

at Height, Spill Training 

or any other industry 

standard training 

requirement, PTF can offer subsidised training for OAMPS 

clients by professionals with industry experience. All at a time 

and date to suit you, with some courses available at your own 

premises to minimise any disruption. 

All in all, we believe that the offer, including insurance, OHES 

Environmental, PTF and 24-7 Response, shows OAMPS 

Petrochemical are still, after 25 years, market leaders! 


Silver Jubilee milestone with 

“Our appointment as Insurance Managers to FPS gives us 

credibility with the industry, which is not something we take 

lightly,” says Adam Shefras, Director of OAMPS Petrochemical. 

“There are very few compulsory insurance covers that a 

company has to take out in order to trade legally. That means 

everything else is a commercial decision. At OAMPS 

Petrochemical, we believe in providing our clients with the 

possibilities available to transfer the risks they have. Some of 

these may be insurance backed; some involve more risk 

management and training from OHES Environmental and PTF. 

It depends on the individual company requirements. We give 

professional advice and explain the consequences of not taking 

out certain covers. But at the end of the day it is the client who 

decides what they want. We are here to help, not dictate.”

DECEMBER 2010 WAS THE COLDEST ON RECORD – 

an average of minus 0.5°C, which is 5°C lower that 

the 10 year average. 

While the snow may be long gone and 

temperatures considerably higher, the memories 

of heating oil delivery havoc in the run-up to 

Christmas will live long in the memories of many 

distributors. 

Action by the FPS in winning an invaluable 

relaxation of drivers’ hours limits helped ease the 

delivery situation, but there was no doubt that 

fulfilling orders was extremely difficult. 

We listened to our 

customers 

“We had two weeks of snow and ice just 

when we didn’t need it, in the run-up to 

Christmas. Demand outstripped supply 

and the weather made deliveries slower. 

It created a horrendous backlog of 

orders. 

People were just very glad that there 

was a local, family-run business that 

would actually listen to them. We asked 

people to check their oil and be honest 

with us about how close they were to 

running out. We prioritised our regular 

customers and we also invited customers 

to come to the depot to collect oil. In 

fact, we bought one load of oil drums, 

then another and then another. 

When the children broke up from 

school, we even roped them in to help 

in the depot and they were marvellous. 

We asked them to imagine coming 

home to a cold house and to not be able 

to put the heating on. The media didn’t 

help with the kind of stories they were 

running, but we found that, when we 

explained the situation to customers, 

they were understanding and 

appreciated what we were doing. I’ve 

worked in this business for 15 years and 

we’ve had relatively mild winters until 

Energy Minister Charles Hendry 

(pictured) has written to FPS 

extending his sincere thanks for our 

members’ hard work during the 

recent spell of bad weather. He said: 

“The conditions facing the country 

were highly challenging but your 

members’ efforts across the country and the close 

co-operation you extended to my officials has 

ensured that disruption to heating oil supplies 

was minimised to the maximum possible degree.” 

Downstream talked to some FPS members about 

their experiences and asked what could be 

changed if a similar situation occurs in future. 

A winter’s tale – of long hours 

Cookes kept Linda 

in the warm 

Cooke Fuels battled through to make 

two deliveries to Lancashire 

householder Linda Kidd on the edge 

of Foulridge, north of Colne. 

When the snows hit, it looked like the 

Kidd household, up a narrow lane on 

the edge of the community, would be 

left out in the cold as heating oil 

levels began to fall. 

"Even with our baby tanker, we could 

not deliver to Mrs Kidd as we could 

not get the tanker down her lane," 

said Cooke Fuels Sales and Marketing 

Director Lesley Eland. "But driver 

Chris Hartley came back to the depot 

and filled some 20 litre containers and 

then went back and parked the 

wagon at the bottom of the lane and 

carried the containers to her house to 

fill her tank so she would have fuel 

for Christmas. And just to make sure 

Mrs Kidd kept warm well into the 

New Year, Chris's colleague Julian 

Naylor made a second delivery.” 

last year. Many companies in the 

industry have scaled back their 

operations as people’s usage has 

dropped. But now we’ve had two hard 

winters. I’m not suggesting that 

everyone goes out and buys more 

tankers in case it’s bad again next year, 

but we do have to be prepared.” 

– Janet Kettlewell, 

Kettlewell Fuels, Ripon 

We need to get more 

forceful next year 

“First of all we couldn’t get the fuel. The 

major oil companies were saying there 

was no problem with supply, but there 

were strict allocations at Kingsbury 

terminal and they kept running out. Our 

drivers were queueing for hours and 

then promised supplies wouldn’t arrive. 

Then the snow came and we were 

struggling to get round. We spent a 

fortune in recovery costs because 

customers would tell us their road was 

clear, we’d attempt a delivery and then 

couldn’t get out again. 

But we managed and we didn’t let any 

regular customers down. Our drivers 

were fantastic. We worked right up to 

Christmas Eve and then came back 

between Christmas and New Year to 

clear the backlog of people who hadn’t 

run out, but who were getting 

desperate. One of our drivers – John 

Plant – even went out on Boxing Day to 

an old people’s home that had run out 

completely. In fact, a lot of our 


customers really appreciated the work 

the drivers did – many sent in notes with 

their cheques to thank us for the 

marvellous service. 

Every autumn, we send out a calendar 

to anyone who’s ordered with us in the 

last three years. We sent out 2,500 this 

year. It’s a reminder to order fuel before 

the Christmas rush and the winter prices 

rises. Very few people do order in 

advance though and I think we need to 

get more forceful next year. If we could 

educate customers, we’d be able to stop 

the peaks in demand. I think our drivers 

would rather have a regular wage 

packet too.” 

– Steve Davis, 

Midland Fuel Oil Supplies, Solihull 

Lessons for road operators 

and customers 

“The road conditions were the biggest 

difficulty. We always expect a bit of a 

rush before Christmas, but because of 

the adverse weather, we got very busy. 

Fortunately, there was no problem with 

supply in Belfast – one of the few 

winters when there hasn’t been a break 

in supplies. 

What are the lessons to learn? I think 

the road operators can learn from what 

happened and I think customers can, but 

I don’t think there’s anything the oil 

industry can do differently. 

Cartoon courtesy Eastern Daily Press 

Customers really need to learn to order 

earlier and not leave it till Christmas 

week. We coped well, but we would 

have coped better if the last minute 

orders had been spread over 10 days 

instead of the five before Christmas. We 

even had people ringing to ask for an oil 

delivery specifically on Christmas Eve. I 

don’t see how we’re going to change 

that attitude.” 

– David Meekin, 

Meekin Fuel Group, Co. Antrim 

We were out six days a 

week 

“I know that some of our competitors 

were struggling, but we managed to 

deliver to everyone within three to four 

days despite the bad weather. I think it 

was down to using the relaxation of 

drivers’ hours to the full. We were out 

six days a week. 

It simply took longer to achieve what we 

normally do. Of course, it’s costly to 

work such a massive number of hours. 

Fortunately the relaxation of hours 

came in soon enough this year and 

lasted long enough. I don’t think we 

would have managed without it. The 

other aspect is that you have to be 

prepared. Our drivers carried bags of 

sand and made sure they were ready for 

the bad conditions. It happens every 

year and you can’t expect to manage 


without making some changes to the 

way you work.” 

– Kevin Carnegie, Carnegie Fuels, Angus 

Enough to give you a 

migraine 

“The main issues were that roads 

weren’t gritted in some areas, that there 

were supply problems – Jarrow suddenly 

shutting down because they ran out of 

product – and the sheer workload with 

so many people ordering. The phone 

was ringing morning, noon and night. 

I’ve never known anything like it. It was 

enough to give you a migraine. There 

was no chance to talk to prospective 

customers, only regulars. 

People are now starting to review what 

happened and plan for the future.” 

– Tim Bates, GB Fuels, Gateshead 

Tankers slid off roads, 

schedules disrupted 

“Our delivery drivers did an outstanding 

job; working every hour they were 

legally allowed to in treacherous road 

conditions, day in and day out. They 

delivered to oil tanks at the end of icecovered 

tracks and on precarious slopes. 

Tankers slid off roads, delivery schedules 

were severely disrupted and road speeds 

were radically reduced. As a result, our 

daily delivery output was significantly 

less than normal. 

Our office staff were swamped with 

customers and non-customers seeking to 

place orders and get an explanation of 

the circumstances – to the point where 

we could not get an outgoing line to 

return customers’ messages. We have 

now added four lines to our 

switchboard in Telford. It was difficult to 

provide a realistic delivery timeframe. At 

an early stage, we decided to give 

priority to existing customers and to 

those who were about to run out. It was 

also important not to make promises or 

commitments that we might not be able 

to meet.” 

– Richard Bates, Oakley's Fuel Oils, 

Telford and Kingsbury

Still time for Santa despite the mayhem 

Customer spotting… 

The cold spell brought a host of 

different customers making urgent calls 

to distributors. Downstream readers 

were able to identify several distinct 

types, a few of whom are described 

here by Judith Jones, of Lanner, 

Cornwall… 

She sympathized with the plight of 

distributors trying to keep up with 

overwhelming demand. 

She said: “I think the time has come for 

you to apologise to all the hard working 

delivery drivers in Cornwall. They are all 

working as many hours as the law 

permits to service the needs of 

Mr & Mrs Silly, who suddenly realise 

that Christmas is coming and they 

haven't got any oil in the tank: That's 

OK because they know there is a tanker 

sitting in the oil depot yard just waiting 

for their call! 

Mr & Mrs Liar, who only have three 

inches of oil in the tank and must have a 

delivery before Christmas. Miraculously 

they have half a tank full when the 

delivery driver gets to them. This does 

not make the driver mad because he 

likes getting home late when his 

children have already gone to bed! 

Mr & Mrs Genuine, who sometimes 

have to go without because of Mr & Mrs 

Silly and Mr & Mrs Liar. 

Judith added: “I worked for a local oil 

company for 15 years so I know this to 

be true. What makes it all worse this 

year is the backlog from the bad 

weather we have had.” 

Two further customers sprang to the 

mind of another of our readers: 

Mr & Mrs Knowitall, who could run 

the trucks and drivers a lot better than 

we do and get the deliveries out more 

quickly. 

Mr & Mrs Mirage….their road is clear 

of snow and ice, despite the fact the 

whole area around them has been 

under a foot of snow and ice for a week. 

Enough said!!!! 

Despite the huge pressure to deliver 

home heating oil in the bad weather 

before Christmas, Mark Nolan of Nolan 

Oil in Bicester still found time to tow 

Santa around the town. 

“I’m an honorary member of the 

Bicester Round Table and we’ve pulled 

the sleigh each year to raise money for 

charity. It brings in several thousand 

pounds for local causes annually,” said 

Mark. 

Like so many other distributors, Mark 

and his team were also working all 

hours – evenings and weekends – to 

ensure customers got their heating oil 

supplies. The snow and ice made it 

impossible for a normal tanker to reach 

more isolated locations, so Nolans 

hooked a bowser behind a van and 

delivered the load using a pump inside 

A winter’s tale 

– From page 19 

How do you educate the 

last-minute panickers? 

“It was the worst month – 

unprecedented demand, shortage of 

supplies and bad weather – but we 

didn’t let any customers down. We were 

sensible about what orders we took and 

prioritised. 

We need to be getting the key message 

out to customers to order earlier, but 

you’d think after three years of these 

problems, they’d be getting that 

message, especially as prices have 

tended to go up later on too. We offer 

budget accounts and don’t charge for 

credit cards, so there are incentives, but 

we don’t seem to be able to educate 

those last-minute panickers.” 

– Jason Britton, 

Countrywide Fuels, Pershore 

Tanks full and lorries 

up-to-date 

“The drivers’ noticeboard is full of 

letters from grateful customers who 


Like Nolans, many distributors had tankers slip off the road 

the van. “It’s not how we would want to do things on a 

full-time basis but it was a great help in adverse 

conditions,” said Mark. People certainly appreciated it, as 

a note from one new oil customer shows: “Nolan Oils was 

the only company able to make a delivery within four 

days. Every other company (and I phoned at least eight) 

estimated a two- week delivery. Amazingly, the delivery 

came only a day later and on a Sunday! Nolan Oils was 

recommended to me and I will certainly recommend 

Nolan to my friends.” 

could not believe it when deliveries arrived as promised. 

Obviously the severe weather proved a challenge but 

nothing that we were not prepared for. Fortunately we 

had made provisions for the weather and with a few 

exceptions were able to make our deliveries. All our staff 

really rose to the challenge and worked their hardest to 

ensure no-one was let down. With the exception of 

Christmas Day, we had lorries on the road and a staffed 

office right through the holiday period. 

What we have learnt from three harsh winters in a row is 

to keep our tanks full and our lorry fleet up-to-date. The 

mini-tankers proved invaluable, but – at the end of the 

day – we’re extremely fortunate to have such a loyal, hardworking 

team both in the office and delivering the fuel.” 

– Linda Kingdon, Heltor, Newton Abbott 

We stopped taking on 

new accounts 

“A lot of people were ringing round because of the 

disparity in prices and we had to stop taking on new 

accounts because we started to get flooded with work. 

The problem was just the volume of calls and the volume 

of people who ran out. We couldn’t get out on the roads 

because of the snow and our delivery schedule was set 

back by a couple of weeks. The Rochester branch was 

snowed in.” 

– Mandy Durell, 

Fuel Oils (Holdings), Canterbury 


Thanks to Trevor Rolph, Pace Fuelcare, for this Sinatra-esque 

memory of the cold spell…. 

And now, the end is near, 

Its time to hear, the final groaner 

My friends, we know they say, 

‘I’m going to run out, of that I’m certain’ 

We done our best to help 

And travelled each and every icy side road 

And more, much more than this, we did it our way….. 

Complaints, we’ve had a few, 

But then again too few to mention 

We did what we had to do, with the help of drivers’ hours exemption 

We planned the routes, each careful load, along the side roads 

And more, much more than this, we did it our way….. 

Yes there were times, when it would snow 

When we took more orders than we could do 

But through it all, when there was no supply 

We stood and rationed it out 

We faced them all, we stood tall, and did it our way 

We’ve broke down, we’ve run out but we’ve tried 

We’ve had overfills, and a share of bad debts 

And now, as the year close, we find all so amusing 

To think that we supplied all that 

And may we say, not in a dear way 

“Oh no, oh no, not us, we did it our way” 

For what is an AD, what has he got? 

Without supplies, he has no stock 

To say the things he truly feels, would upset the customers who really moan 

The record shows we took the groans, and did it our way…..

Environmental care 

Working for the 

spill industry 

2010 will be remembered as the year 

of Deepwater Horizon – a disaster that 

put the words ‘oil spill’ into everyone’s 

vocabulary. 

The UK Spill Association (UKSpill), 

represents companies and individuals 

working in the oil spill industry, gave 

fact and opinion on this 

environmental catastrophe to all sorts 

of media outlets. After the event, it 

organised a seminar in Edinburgh, 

hosted by the Scottish Government 

and the Emergency Planning Society. 

Close to 100 people attended to hear 

speakers from the government and BP. 

“UKSpill has evolved since 2004 into a 

real voice for the oil spill industry. Not 

only have we developed our website 

and put the responder accreditation 

scheme online, we have established a 

regular series of marine and inland 

seminars,” said Chairman Glyn 

Humphries in his annual review. 

UKSpill relies for its success on 

partnership, in particular with the 

Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and 

the Environment Agencies of England, 

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 

The contract to support the MCA was 

renewed in 2009 for a further three 

years. 

The UKSpill website promotes its 

members and its work through a 

catalogue of companies, a guide to 

dealing with spills through the 

accredited responder scheme and a 

schedule of events. It also provides 

news about the industry to markets 

and government. 

“The organisation also works to 

maintain standards and has 

established a standards committee to 

supervise quality within the industry,” 

says Glyn. “The accreditation scheme 

for spill contractors and responders 

grew by around 40 per cent last year 

to more than 80 companies across the 

UK.”

Single skin plastic tanks 

signal certain trouble 

DEATH AND TAXES ARE LIFE’S TWO 

CERTAINTIES. In the world of oil storage, 

there’s a third too – in time, ultraviolet 

rays will kill most plastic tanks. 

Some earlier types of single-skinned 

plastic tanks were very prone to UV and, 

even though more up-to-date models 

are much better, there are thousands of 

tanks out there doomed to fail within 

the next few years. 

As part of the annual boiler service, the 

fuel tank should be inspected, and whilst 

a visual inspection of the tank can’t hope 

to match a forensic laboratory 

examination, the engineer can identify 

potential weaknesses that could lead to 

single skin tank failure. 

First among them is the discolouring of 

the plastic around the folds, particularly 

on the ribbing or where two seams join. 

The top of the tank, the area most 

exposed to UV, often splits and lets 

water in. This usually manifests itself 

when the water level in the tank reaches 

the outlet pipe and is drawn into the 

boiler along the fuel line. As a result, 

boiler pumps fail, leading to hundreds of 

pounds of damage to the boiler itself. 

Why are bunded tanks safer? The second 

outer skin acts as emergency storage in 

the event of the inner skin failing. The 

outer skin, which is not under pressure, 

can also resist the effects of UV more 

easily. Single-skinned tanks have an 

outer surface being degraded by UV and 

an inner surface taking the weight of a 

tank full of fuel. In the case of a full 

1,000-litre tank, there is almost a tonne 

of pressure on this skin. 

“Despite the consequences, people are 

refusing to heed the advice of their 

boiler engineer to change their tanks – 

prompted no doubt, in part, by the 

economic recession, partly by the false 

security of the tank having been fine for 

the last 10 years,” says Tim Griffin, MD of 

Oil Facilities Ltd (OFL). “We have 

certainly noticed a decline in timed tank 

replacements and a rise in distress 

replacements, usually accompanied by a 

lengthy remediation process to the 

surrounding area. 

“Most of the domestic spills we attend 

cost in excess of £10,000 to put right; 

some running to almost £100,000. The 

corrosive effect of kerosene on concrete 

and particularly block work is well 

documented, and unless a spill team is 

on site very quickly following the spill, 

most masonry will have to be replaced. 

In some instances, we have had to 

remove and replace house foundations; 

in others we have had to remove and 

replace whole walls.” 

According to Tim, the severe cold period 

in March last year and then again in 

December will have placed further stress 

on weakened single-skin tanks.

A+A wins five-year ‘blue chip’ contract 

ADLER AND ALLAN HAS BEEN AWARDED a major contract as 

sole environmental emergency response contractor for Central 

Networks, the second largest electricity network operator in 

the UK. 

Part of E.ON, one of the world's largest power and gas 

companies, Central Networks distributes electricity to more 

than five million customers across central England using a 

network of 133,000km of underground and overhead cables. 

But problems happen – ageing fluid-filled cables can spring 

leaks; transformers can be vandalised or damaged, allowing oil 

to escape. The sheer scope of maintaining such a large network 

means there’s always a risk of damage to the environment. If 

things do go wrong, Adler & Allan teams will be on-site within 

three hours to clean up. 

The five-year contract award reinforces A&A’s reputation for 

spill response, environmental awareness and health and safety. 

“They have a vital role to perform,” says engineering contracts 

manager Barry Matthews. “We take our responsibility to 

safeguard the environment very seriously; not just to comply 

with Environmental Agency regulations, but because we 

believe it’s the right thing to do. Minimising the impact our 

activities have on the environment is a key strategic 

commitment. Our reputation depends on it.” 

Adler & Allan began in 1926 as coke merchants in London, and 

diversified into spill response operations in the 1960s. The 

expertise and capability of their emergency spill response 

teams was tested to the full by the Buncefield oil storage 

depot incident in 2005. Their response involved safely 

removing more than 10 million litres of hazardous liquids. 

“Our aim is to continue to innovate, developing services that 

lead the market and are environmentally-compliant,” says 

Commercial Director Henry Simpson. “We’re very pleased to be 

appointed by Central Networks. This is a blue-chip client with 

high expectations right across the board and we’re more than

happy to meet those challenges.” As well as providing 

emergency back-up from two depots in the Midlands, A&A will 

shortly begin a two-year programme to inspect, maintain and, 

where necessary, repair the bunds at identified Central 

Networks primary and grid substations.

Smart thinking 

Smart valves that convert drains into 

spill containers have won 

Environmental Innovations Ltd (EIL) 

the APEA Environmental Award 2010 

and the GlaxoSmithKlein-sponsored 

Creative Innovation Award 2010. 

According to EIL, the fully automated 

systems can be easily integrated to 

work in tandem with existing alarms 

using the latest patented wireless 

technology. The check valves contain 

the spill or firewater in the existing 

drainage system, preventing the 

contaminated substance from leaving 

the site. The system can also be 

configured to notify key staff by text 

or voicemail, preventing the 

nightmare scenario of returning to a 

site after a bank holiday weekend to 

find an incident has escalated into a 

disaster. Purely manual spill kits fight 

the natural flow of liquid by blocking 

the spill from entering the drain. EIL’s 

outside-the-box thinking, however, 

converts the drain into a containment 

vessel for the spill, buying valuable 

time to allow the spillage to be 

removed, cleaned, recycled and reused 

without the contaminated 

material leaving the site. The method 

has been adopted by the fire service, 

who use the manual system to block 

roadside drains at an accident.

A potentially lethal cocktail 

from emergency hosedowns 

FIREWATER – the water or foam used to fight a fire – is 

potentially toxic, and the run-off from a blaze can be a 

deadly cocktail warns Brian M Back, chairman of 

Environmental Innovations Ltd. 

The fire service estimates it uses around 

500,000 litres of water an hour to fight 

an average fire. At the height of the 

Buncefield disaster, 250,000 litres of 

foam and 25 million litres of water were 

being used. 

Firewater contains materials stored in 

the building, as well as dissolved and 

materials and particles formed in the fire 

and in putting it out. So, it can be 

especially polluting if the materials it 

comes into contact with are hazardous – 

oils and detergents, for example. 

Unless the site has adequate in-drain 

containment for the run-off, the threat 

of pollution to rivers, groundwater and 

aquatic life can be considered so great 

that the fire service will prefer to let the 

blaze burn itself out. Businesses may be 

sacrificed in an attempt to safeguard the 

environment. 

As well as watching helplessly as your 

business disappears before your eyes, 

you could face prosecution by the 

Environment Agency, with fines and an 

order to pay the full costs of returning 

the local environment back to its preincident 

state – including re-stocking 

rivers. 

A recent blaze at a chemical factory in 

Huddersfield is estimated to have cost 

the company £6m in damage and loss of 

business. They were also hit with a bill 

for £300,000 from the Environment 

Agency and the Health and Safety 

Executive. 

In November, a blaze at a warehousing 

and distribution site near Darlington 

resulted in a cocktail of firewater and 

shampoo that contaminated the River 

Skerne and killed hundreds of fish. In 

early January, a suspected arson attack 

on an industrial estate in the West 

Midlands resulted in contaminated 

firewater making its way via the drains 

to a local wildlife haven. 

“Unless companies realise the dangers 

and their responsibilities, legal and 

moral, and have permanent automonitored 

drainage containment 

systems installed, this type of incident 

will continue to occur,” says Back. 

“There were 362,000 fires in the UK last 

year, so the odds are stacked against 

anyone who hasn’t put extensive 

preventative measures in place. The 

introduction of European Directive ELD 

2004/35/EC has tightened regulations 

and penalties to ensure that the polluter 

pays.” 

As many companies have found, their 

basic liability insurance more often than 

not won’t cover them for environmental 

clean-up costs, especially if there are 

doubts that adequate precautionary 

measures had been in place. 

Any company looking to attain or keep 

ISO 14001 accreditation must show a 

cohesive and adequate containment 

policy for spill control and firewater. And 

the dangers of firewater aren’t limited 

to real fires. A false alarm that triggers 

the sprinkler system can expel between 

eight and 24 gallons of water per 

sprinkler every minute. 

“A great many companies are simply 

gambling the costs of doing something 

to protect their site against the chances 

of being caught and prosecuted,” says 

Brian. “It might be possible, though 

reprehensible, to keep a spill ‘secret’ 

from the authorities, even if it’s not 

contained from polluting the 

environment, but a fire is a signal to 

everyone for miles around that there is a 

potential environmental disaster taking 

place. 


How the appliance of science 

can cut clean-up costs 

ACCORDING TO THE ENVIRONMENT 

AGENCY, oil and fuel pollution incidents 

in England and Wales run at more than 

5,000 a year. Clean-up costs and fines 

average around £30,000, but incidents 

can cost millions. 

Estimating how much work is needed 

can be a challenge when much of the 

contamination is below-ground or 

within structures. Investigations can 

themselves be costly and, when the 

results are inaccurate there is always the 

risk that more work is carried out than 

required. 

Using innovative technologies can lead 

to significant cost savings at all stages 

including the initial response, the site 

investigation and during clean-up and 

validation. Yet, says Dr Jon Burton of the 

RAW Group, few contractors invest in 

the research and development of new 

technology to push the boundaries and 

keep costs low. 

“There are high costs and a lot of 

disruption, for example, from excavating 

trial pits, drilling boreholes and drilling 

through structures,” says Jon. 

“Disruption can be minimised and delays 

avoided by using investigation 

techniques such as infrared imaging, 

geophysical surveying and on-site 

chemical analysis.” 

In one case of a leak from an 

underground pipe, a survey showed 

most of the near surface ground was 

uncontaminated. The information was 

obtained without disturbing the ground 

by measuring electrical resistance. This 

technique saved more than £7,000. 

Infrared is an alternative to destructive 

testing, showing up the areas affected in 

a structure. As well as minimising 

invasive sampling, the technology also 

allows further investigation and 

remediation to be targeted, keeping 

costs, disruption and time spent as low 

as possible. “Cost savings of up to 80 per 

cent can be expected using thermal 

imaging instead of purely intrusive 

investigation,” says Jon. 

On-site testing can be useful but not all 

techniques are applicable to all 

contaminants. In the case of a fuel spill, 

photo-ionisation detection can measure 

volatile hydrocarbons in ambient air, in a 

soil sample or in structures. 

“There will always be a requirement for 

laboratory analysis as well, but the use 

of on-site testing can allow rapid 

decision-making and cost estimation,” 

adds Jon, who cites the example of a 

leak that occurred after underground 

tanks were installed at a diesel storage 

facility. The leak was found to be 

coming from a valve on the supply line 

between the tanks and the dispensing 

pumps. It wasn’t certain how much 

diesel was lost to ground, but the oil 

travelled along a drain and polluted a 

nearby watercourse. 

Jon explains: “The initial plan was to 

remove and replace most of the storage 

facility, excavating and disposing of the 

contaminated soils. Costs were 

estimated at more than £350,000. The 

client requested a second opinion and 

an innovative in situ remediation 

approach was recommended as an 

alternative using a combination of 

pumping, vacuum extraction and 

chemical treatment of the contaminated 

soil and groundwater. It took 26 weeks 

and saved £150,000.”

litres of kerosene. 


Cutting 

maintenance is a 

false economy 

Prevention is better than cure. That’s 

the thinking of Complete Tank 

Solutions Ltd. (CTSL). 

“There are a number of issues we see 

recurring and many could be readily 

addressed through simple training 

and education,” says Ian Hodge, MD 

of CTSL, based in the north west of 

England. “For instance, we come 

across situations where delivery 

drivers encounter installations that 

they know fall short of the required 

standards – perhaps because they are 

older installations that haven’t been 

updated to keep pace with changes in 

legislation. Under these 

circumstances, the driver is fully 

entitled to raise the issue with the 

client or even to refuse to fill the 

tank, and yet many drivers feel 

obliged to complete the delivery. 

“Another very current issue is the 

impact of prolonged bad weather on 

oil storage installations – particularly 

in the domestic setting,” continues 

Ian. “During this hard winter, we’ve 

been kept extremely busy with 

domestic incidents. Even the slightest 

oil leak can have a significant impact 

on the property and the family living 

there. Given the current economic 

climate, we fully recognise that 

routine maintenance is often the first 

budget item to be cut. The cost of 

putting things right after an oil 

spillage can dwarf even the most 

generous annual maintenance 

budgets.”

One of QDS’s response injection 

units (above). Below, the solution 

at a balancing pond was a water 

treatment plant. Bunds can hold 

back and collect surface oil (foot of 

page). 

Clever technology is solution 

for ‘impossible’ clean-ups 

TEN YEARS AGO, MANY OIL SPILLS 

would have been simply untreatable. 

Today, clean-up companies can pick from 

a range of techniques. 

QDS have been 

dealing with oil 

spills and site 

clean-ups since 

1993. The 

company has seen 

the industry 

develop from the 

days when 

excavation to 

landfill and 

groundwater 

pumping were 

the main 

remedies. Now, 

fuel spills can be treated by techniques 

ranging from high vacuum extraction 

from boreholes to the injection of 

oxidising chemicals to encouraging 

natural biodegradation through supply 

of oxygen and nutrients to the 

subsurface. 

“No single remediation technology 

works in every, or even most, situations,” 

says Jamie Harris, QDS Technical 

Manager. “We design and build all our 

own remediation systems in-house and 

have a large inventory of specialised 

plant. This allows us to choose the best 

technology or combination of 

technologies for the job instead of being 

limited to a single option.” 

Every oil spill clean-up presents unique 

problems. One QDS client had a fuel-line 

failure that resulted in 25,000 litres of 

diesel being pumped into the ground. It 

happened just a few metres from a 

major drain that led to a five million litre 

balancing pond. 

“Normally, the water was pumped from 

there to the local stream, but that was a 

non-starter with a pond full of oil. The 

client was left with the choice between a 

flooded site and a huge daily bill for 

tankering off thousands of litres of 

contaminated water,” explains Jamie. 

QDS rapidly mobilised a water treatment 

plant and redirected the flow to foul 

sewer, after negotiating an emergency 

consent. The problem was solved 

immediately and reduced costs by more 

than 95 per cent. 

In the longer term, the contaminated 

section of the drain was isolated by 

installing pumps upstream to intercept 

the water and redirect it. The most 

contaminated section of the drain was 

excavated and re-laid to seal it from the 

fuel remaining in the ground. The final 

phase of treatment involved a 

programme of high vacuum extraction. 

QDS installed a containerised, fully 

automated, telemetry controlled 

remediation system and connected it to a 

network of 25 boreholes around the site 

of the spill. By treating in situ through 

boreholes, they avoided having to 

excavate large sections of the haulage 

yard so the client’s business could 

continue without disturbance. 

“Of course, most clean-ups are smaller 

scale than this and many spills can be 

simply resolved in a day or two with 

pumps and booms to contain the spill 

and a JCB to excavate contaminated 

soils,” says Jamie. “But speed of response 

is often key.” 

Another aspect of remediation is 

cleaning up petrol stations during 

redevelopment. “We’ve developed 

methods that allow us to treat the 

contamination beneath a tank farm very 

rapidly,” explains Jamie. “We were 

recently asked to treat contaminated 

groundwater under a forecourt and they 

could only give us a two-week period. A 

few years ago this would have been 

impossible.” 

QDS have built a mobile high-pressure 

system that can inject oxidising chemicals 

into multiple locations simultaneously. 

The oxidants rapidly break down the 

contaminants into harmless by-products.

The benefits of trade associations 

From the Trade Association 

Forum 

Trade associations provide 

representative and other collective 

products and services to businesses (and 

sometimes individuals) with common 

interests. In return for a subscription 

fee, associations offer many products 

and services, including conferences, 

networking, training and education 

materials, technical advice and 

publications – to name but a few. 

However, one of the trade association’s 

main focuses is as a representative body 

putting forward the collective view and 

position of its members, generally to 

government departments, agencies and 

regulators and also to the media and 

other opinion formers. Trade 

associations are usually non-profit 

organizations with a governing body 

made up of elected representatives from 

its members, depending upon their rules 

and constitution. 

Companies and individuals should 

join Trade Associations because… 

● In the long term it is in their financial 

interests to do so. Trade associations 

sit at the heart of their industry and 

offer many benefits to members. 

These benefits include money saving 

activities such as free advice on many 

issues, access to special rates through 

affinity services and regulatory cost 

avoidance, which can often cost a 

significant sum on the open market. 

● Associations are seen as the voice of 

their sector and able to represent all 

their members at every level. 

Associations therefore provide 

government and other authorities 

with the peace of mind that they are 

getting a fully considered view of 

what is good for the sector. This is an 

extremely powerful asset for 

members; as the membership base 

grows so does the Trade Association’s 

authority. 

● Associations facilitate the opportunity 

for members to network with their 

peers at conferences, exhibitions and 

other events whilst they are learning 

about issues which may affect their 

business. 

● Associations provide immediate 

updates regarding changes in industry 

technical standards, policy and news 

which are disseminated to members 

and provide an early warning system 

with advice on how to deal with the 

issues which may be encountered as a 

result. 

● Enhancement of a company’s 

reputation often follows joining a 

trade association. For many industries, 

membership of the industry 

association is seen as a badge of 

quality, particularly for those 

industries, which are heavily 

regulated. 

● Trade associations represent private 

businesses. It is those private 

businesses that are going to create 

the profits and employment that will 

restore the UK economy to growth 

and assist in the reduction of the 

public sector deficit. No one else can 

do that. 

● Trade associations are representative 

of the interests of their members. An 

effective Trade Association has a good 

intelligence network. It knows at a 

very early stage what issues are 

moving up the agenda of policymakers 

and businesses and also which 

organisations and individuals are 

important in the policy making 

process. This intelligence gathering is 

complemented by a culture of 

knowledge sharing within the 

organisation. This enhances the 

information which is sought and the 

use made of it. The importance of 

reputation must not be understated. 

An effective Trade Association is 

certainly one which is trusted as an 

interlocutor on behalf of its members. 

● Trade associations identify the effects 

of policy measures on their sector and 

Feature 

act as an additional resource in 

ensuring that Government action 

achieves its desired purpose. 

● Trade associations have an extensive 

knowledge of the industry itself or 

have access to such knowledge that 

can be quickly passed on to policymakers. 

Trade associations are leaders 

on sector thinking, standard-setting, 

building proactive policies and 

developing a long-term strategic plan 

which incorporates practical solutions 

and greater transparency. It is 

therefore possible for Governmental 

bodies and trade associations to form 

effective partnerships and bridge 

mutual gaps in understanding. Trade 

associations can also help identity any 

emerging issues and develop solutions 

to problems. 

● Trade associations’ representations to 

the Government on policy matters are 

backed up with best-available 

evidence gathered from their 

members. This helps with assessments 

of the costs and benefits of policy 

proposals. 

● Trade associations are the most 

effective way of establishing excellent 

lines of communication between the 

Government and their represented 

sector. 

The above is an abbreviated excerpt 

from the UK’s Trade Association Forum’s 

new stakeholder leaflet produced to 

promote trade associations to interested 

parties. The leaflet makes it clear why 

trade associations are such vital 

organisations and what they can do to 

help. It also covers why Governments 

should consult with trade associations 

and why other parties should deal with 

members of trade associations. Trade 

associations exist all over the world and 

this leaflet gives an idea of the many 

benefits to be gained from membership 

of your local industry organisation.
