Lakewood’s Fuel Tank Maintenance Experts
Fleet Core brings owner-operated precision to every tank cleaning job in Lakewood. We’ve seen what happens when businesses treat fuel storage as “set it and forget it”—the catastrophic injector failures, the fleet-wide breakdowns, the emergency calls at 2 AM because half your equipment won’t start. Our team doesn’t just pump out tanks and call it done. We use systematic inspection protocols, specialized filtration equipment, and documented cleaning processes that actually address the root causes of fuel contamination.
Here’s the thing about Lakewood’s location along the Front Range: altitude, temperature swings, and seasonal moisture all accelerate fuel degradation in storage. That morning condensation in your tanks? It’s creating the perfect environment for microbial growth right now. The dust from construction sites and industrial operations? It’s settling into every vent and fill point. We’ve spent years learning how local conditions impact fuel storage systems, and that knowledge shows up in how we approach every cleaning job.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters
The Risks of Neglect
Leaving tanks unchecked invites risks no operation can afford:
- Contaminated Fuel: water and sludge lead to clogged filters, microbial growth, and fuel inefficiency.
- Corrosion Hazards: tank rust weakens structural integrity and increases the risk of leaks.
- Regulatory Trouble: outdated or degraded tanks can fail inspections and incur financial penalties.
Fleet Core tackles these risks head-on, so you can focus on running your business — not worrying about your fuel system.
How Often Should Tanks Be Maintained?
Stay proactive with a schedule designed for your tank type:
- High-Use Tanks (Generators and Fleet Systems): maintenance annually ensures reliability during critical times.
- Long-Term Storage Tanks: every 2–3 years, depending on environmental conditions, prevents sediment buildup and fuel degradation.
Speak with Fleet Core to create a maintenance plan customized to your operations.
Complete Fuel System Management for Lakewood Operations
Fuel Delivery
Fresh, Clean Fuel Delivered When and Where You Need It
Reliable diesel and gasoline delivery to Lakewood job sites, facilities, and equipment yards means you’re not racing to gas stations or dealing with contaminated retail fuel. We deliver tested, treated fuel that meets your equipment manufacturer specifications, with scheduling that adapts to your operational reality instead of forcing you to adapt to ours.
Diesel Fuel Testing
Know What You’re Putting in Your Equipment Before It’s Too Late
Laboratory fuel analysis identifies contamination levels, water content, particulate concentrations, and microbial growth before they cause equipment failures. Testing after tank cleaning provides documented proof that your fuel meets specifications. And is VERY useful for warranty claims, insurance requirements, and just knowing you’re not about to wreck a $50,000 engine with bad fuel.
Fuel Polishing
Remove Contaminants With a Thorough Cleaning Process
Fuel can become contaminated. A leaky cap, an accidental over-treatment, improper fueling procedures, we have seen it all. Fortunately, our mobile fuel polishing service can come to your rescue. Our fuel polishing systems filter stored fuel through multi-stage filtration that captures water, particulates, and microbial contamination without the downtime of complete tank draining. You keep your fuel, just make it cleaner.
Eco-Friendly Oil & Fuel Spill Cleanup
Fast-Acting Solutions for Petroleum Spills and Equipment Leaks
Petro Buster petroleum cleaner breaks down oil and fuel contamination on concrete, asphalt, and equipment surfaces without the harsh chemicals that create new environmental problems. Tank cleaning sometimes reveals leaks or historical spills. With Petro Buster, we help you address those issues quickly and responsibly before they become regulatory nightmares.
Oil Analysis
Catch Equipment Problems Before They Become Equipment Failures
Engine oil testing reveals wear metals, contamination, and oil degradation that signal developing problems in vehicles and critical machinery. The patterns we see in oil analysis can help us identify issues in specific equipment or system-wide.
