Electronic Leak Monitoring
Electronic monitoring systems can provide continuous monitoring of fuel tanks, using sensors to detect changes that may indicate a leak and alert site personnel when potential problems occur.
Visual Leak Inspections
Our engineers can visually inspect fuel tanks, pipelines and surrounding areas for signs of leaks and other potential problems, helping establish where further investigation or action may be required.
From Detection to Repair
Finding a leak is only the first step. Where a fuel tank requires repair, BMS Group specialists can help address the problem to minimise downtime and keep your fuel storage system operational.
Commercial Fuel Tank Leak Detection
A leaking commercial fuel tank can create serious safety, environmental, and operational risks, so early detection matters. BMS Group provides fuel tank leak detection services to help businesses quickly identify potential leaks and determine the right next steps.
Our approach is based on the requirements of each facility and fuel storage system, helping determine a suitable method for detecting and addressing suspected leaks.
Why Is Early Fuel Tank Leak Detection Important?
Early fuel tank leak detection can help prevent a developing problem from causing further damage to the surrounding environment, equipment or stored fuel. Identifying a leak promptly also allows appropriate action to be taken sooner, helping minimise potential disruption to your operations.
If you suspect your commercial fuel tank is leaking, contact BMS Group so the problem can be investigated and the appropriate next steps determined.
Electronic Fuel Tank Leak Monitoring
Electronic monitoring systems provide continuous monitoring of commercial fuel tanks. Sensors positioned at relevant points can monitor changes in factors such as pressure, temperature and fluid levels that may indicate the presence of a leak.
When the system identifies a potential issue, an alert can be sent to the facility’s control centre, allowing site personnel to respond quickly and investigate the problem before further damage occurs.
Visual Inspections & Ultrasonic Leak Testing
Visual fuel tank inspections involve examining tanks, pipelines and surrounding areas for signs of a potential leak. This can provide valuable information about the condition of the fuel storage system and help identify visible areas of concern.
BMS Group can also use ultrasonic testing as a non-destructive method of detecting leaks in fuel tanks and pipes. Depending on the site and suspected problem, different leak detection methods can be used to determine an appropriate approach.
What Happens After a Fuel Tank Leak Is Detected?
Identifying the source of a fuel tank leak is only the first step. Once the problem has been established, the tank or associated pipework may require repair to minimise downtime and prevent further issues.
BMS Group can support the next stage with commercial fuel tank repairs, from smaller cracks to more significant tank damage, helping you determine an appropriate solution and keep your business operating.

Fuel Tank Leak Detection FAQs
How can I tell if my fuel tank is leaking?
A suspected leak may require specialist investigation to identify the source. BMS Group can assess commercial fuel tanks, pipelines and surrounding areas and recommend an appropriate leak detection approach for your site.
How are fuel tank leaks detected?
Fuel tank leaks can be investigated using different methods depending on the tank and site requirements. BMS Group provides electronic monitoring, visual inspections and ultrasonic testing to help identify potential leaks in commercial fuel storage systems.
What is electronic fuel tank leak monitoring?
Electronic monitoring uses sensors to continuously monitor factors such as pressure, temperature and fluid levels. Changes can indicate a potential leak, allowing the system to alert site personnel so they can investigate the problem.
Can you detect leaks in fuel tank pipework?
Yes. BMS Group leak detection services can include associated fuel pipelines as well as the tank itself. The appropriate detection method will depend on the fuel storage system and the suspected problem.
Why should a suspected fuel tank leak be investigated quickly?
Early detection can help reduce the risk of further environmental damage, equipment problems and fuel contamination. Identifying the source promptly also allows the appropriate repair or other action to be considered sooner.
Can BMS Group repair a fuel tank after finding a leak?
Yes. Detecting the leak is the first stage. Where repairs are required, BMS Group can provide commercial fuel tank repair support for problems ranging from smaller cracks to more significant tank damage, helping minimise downtime and keep your business operating.
