Is Your Fuel Tank Clean? Don’t Wait for a Problem
Whether you’re storing diesel, gasoline, or generator fuel, keeping your tanks clean is critical to maintaining fuel quality, protecting your equipment, and avoiding costly downtime. Over time, tanks collect sludge, water, and microbial growth that can degrade fuel and damage engines.
That’s why routine inspection and cleaning of your tanks — including generator tanks — is essential. At RKA Petroleum Companies, Inc., we provide complete fuel tank and generator tank cleaning services to help you:
- Maintain fuel integrity
