Fuel Tank Cleaning Service in Texas
⚠️ The Hidden Cost of Dirty Tanks
Clogged fuel filters requiring frequent replacement
Damaged fuel injectors costing thousands in repairs
Reduced fuel efficiency increasing operational costs
Equipment failure during critical operations
Violation of environmental and safety regulations
Have You Checked Your Tank?
Your fuel tank is the foundation of your fuel system's reliability. Even if you cycle through fuel regularly, contaminants accumulate over years of operation, creating a hidden threat to your equipment and operations. At The Diesel Cleaner, we provide comprehensive fuel tank cleaning services that restores your tank to optimal condition.
Why Tank Cleaning Is Critical for Modern Diesel Systems
As emission standards tighten, modern Tier 3 & Tier 4 diesel engines operate at extreme pressures—up to 35,000 PSI in fuel injection systems. These high-pressure systems demand exceptionally clean fuel to function properly. Even minor contamination that older engines could tolerate will cause catastrophic failure in modern equipment.
We Perform All Services in Accordance With:
Safe Operation of Vacuum Machinery in Petroleum Service
EPA Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Regulations
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Guidelines
All applicable Federal, State, and local environmental regulations
Our Professional Tank Cleaning Process
Initial Assessment & Safety Planning
We begin with a comprehensive tank inspection and develop a site-specific safety plan following ANSI/API standards. All potential hazards are identified and addressed before work begins.
Bottom Sampling & Analysis
We collect samples from tank bottoms to identify specific contaminants, water content, and microbial presence. This guides our cleaning approach and treatment selection.
High-Power Vacuum Extraction
Using industrial vacuum machinery, we remove all water, sludge, and sediment from tank bottoms. Our equipment reaches every corner, ensuring complete contamination removal.
Interior Cleaning & Treatment
Tank walls and floors are thoroughly cleaned using approved methods. We apply biocides and corrosion inhibitors to prevent future contamination and protect tank integrity.
Final Inspection & Documentation
Post-cleaning inspection confirms all contaminants are removed. We provide detailed reports including before/after photos, waste manifests, and maintenance recommendations.
Comprehensive Tank Cleaning Services
Regular tank cleaning is not just maintenance—it's insurance for your critical equipment. Clean tanks mean clean fuel, and clean fuel means reliable operation when you need it most.
Detailed Tank Inspections 🔍
Complete structural assessments including integrity checks, compliance verification, and contamination analysis. We inspect tank walls, floors, vents, and all accessories to identify potential issues before they become problems.
Water Removal 💧
Water is diesel fuel's worst enemy. It promotes microbial growth, causes corrosion, reduces lubricity, and leads to fuel line icing. Our advanced vacuum technology completely removes both free and emulsified water from your tank.
Sediment & Sludge Removal 🔧
Years of fuel degradation create heavy sediments that settle on tank bottoms. When disturbed during filling, these contaminants enter your fuel system. We remove all accumulated sludge, rust, and particulates.
Microbial Decontamination 🦠
Bacteria, fungi, and algae thrive in fuel tanks, creating biomass that clogs filters and corrodes tank walls. Our cleaning process eliminates existing growth and treats tanks to prevent recurrence.
Waste Management 🚛
All contaminated fuel, water, and sludge is handled according to EPA regulations. We provide complete documentation for disposal, ensuring your compliance with environmental standards.
Maintenance Programs 📋
Customized preventive maintenance schedules based on your fuel usage, storage conditions, and operational requirements. Stay ahead of contamination with regular professional service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is diesel fuel polishing, and why is it important?
Diesel fuel polishing is the process of removing water, sludge, and contaminants from diesel fuel without removing it from the tank. It helps maintain fuel quality, prevent engine problems, and extend the life of your equipment.
How do I know if my fuel needs polishing?
If you’re experiencing clogged filters, engine hesitation, smoke, or unreliable generator startup, it may be due to dirty or degraded fuel. A fuel test can confirm contamination levels.
How often should I polish my diesel fuel?
Fuel polishing is typically recommended once a year, or more frequently for critical equipment like generators in hospitals, data centers, or construction sites.
What’s the difference between fuel polishing and tank cleaning?
Fuel polishing cleans the fuel itself, while tank cleaning removes built-up sludge, water, and debris from the inside of the fuel tank. Both services are often performed together for best results.
Can you polish fuel without emptying the tank?
Yes, our process allows us to clean and restore fuel quality without removing it from the tank, minimizing downtime and saving you fuel replacement costs.
Will fuel polishing fix clogged filters or injector issues?
Fuel polishing helps prevent future clogs by removing contaminants, but severely clogged filters or damaged injectors may need to be replaced.
Is fuel polishing only for generators?
No, fuel polishing is beneficial for any diesel storage system, including fleets, marine vessels, farming equipment, and emergency backup generators.
How long does fuel polishing take?
Most jobs take 3 to 6 hours, depending on the tank size, fuel condition, and the level of contamination.
Do I need to be present during the service?
No. We can coordinate access and service times that work for you. Our trained technicians handle the process start to finish with minimal disruption.
Do you provide fuel testing or analysis before and after polishing?
Yes. We offer fuel testing to identify contamination levels before polishing, and can provide post-service test results to show improved fuel quality.
