Same-day and next-day fuel deliveries to quarries and mines across the UK

No matter where you’re located within the UK, we can supply you with 205 litre barrels of fuels and lubricants for small or mobile operations, along with bulk deliveries from 500 litres up to 36,000+ litres if you have suitable fuel storage onsite. If you need more fuel in one delivery, we’ll simply send more tankers. We can do this thanks to our large fuel tanker fleet having the capacity to deliver all the fuels and lubricants you may need. All of our tankers are equipped with all the necessary tools to reach hard-to-access storage tanks.

Our fuel delivery times range from 24 to 48 hours for our standard nationwide fuel deliveries, which is often suitable for the majority of our customers. But should you require more urgently for any reason, just let us know, and we’ll arrange an emergency fuel delivery anytime, day or night, 365 days a year.

Have you considered switching to a fully renewable fuel?

Businesses are coming under increasing pressure to reduce emissions to help the UK reach net zero emissions by 2050. Customers are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental practices of UK businesses, which means that switching to a renewable fuel can significantly benefit your profitability. You may think that switching to more sustainable practices requires a significant investment, when in fact, you can reduce the net emissions of your diesel infrastructure today without needing to make upgrades or modifications.

As a leading supplier of HVO fuel, we can help your business reach its sustainability targets. HVO is a fully renewable alternative to diesel that reduces net CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, and, adhering to EN 15940, it’s completely miscible with diesel. When you switch to HVO fuel with Beesley Fuels, you’ll receive a quarterly sustainability declaration to demonstrate your commitment.

Additional benefits of HVO include:

• 100% renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic
• Exceptional cold-weather performance and a storage lifespan of up to 10 years

• Zero FAME, sulphur and fossil content, providing a clean burn and reducing the need for regular fuel maintenance
• Switch to renewables with low upfront cost in comparison to electric solutions

How can businesses extend the life of a fuel storage tank?

There’s more to managing your fuel supply than topping up your storage tanks. Stored fuel that is not handled correctly can damage parts, corrode tanks and clog pipework. Methods to extend the life of your storage tank include:

Arranging a planned preventative maintenance programme

Our 60-point fuel system inspections can help you understand any issues with your fuel infrastructure and how they can be resolved.

Testing your fuel

By taking advantage of our fuel testing service, you’ll learn the health of your fuel and whether or not it could affect your fuel tank(s).

Clearing your tank of sludge and debris

Untreated sludge can erode your tank, degrade your fuel and clog filters, which is why it’s important to look after your storage system. With our fuel polishing services, we use a state-of-the-art filtration system that clears your fuel of debris, sludge and sediment, improving efficiency and extending the life of your equipment.

Repairing your onsite fuel storage tank

If your storage tank is showing signs of damage, your first thought might be to replace it; however, your tank may actually be salvageable. So long as the overall structure of your storage tank is intact and suitable for repair. Our industrial tank lining service could be all you need to get many more years of usage. The process involves installing a double wall layer of resin and fibreglass to repair your fuel tank and restore it to compliant standards (UNE 53935, UNE 62422 and BS EN 13160 – 2016 standards) to allow you to go on using it for many more years.

What are the benefits of maintaining your fuel storage?

• Make cost savings – with a reduced need for replacement parts
• Improve fuel efficiency – fuel systems that are well kept will run more efficiently and reduce consumption
• Avoid site disruption – fuel-dependent businesses can operate as normal

Moving to a new quarry or mine?

If you’ve extracted all the resources out of your quarry or mine and you need to move site, your fuel won’t go to waste.

Transfer your fuel between sites

Our fuel uplift service allows you to safely transfer fuel between sites quickly and with minimal disruption to your site. Our fuel experts have experience working on large-scale sites and will survey your site to ensure a safe and smooth uplift and transfer. We can uplift up to 36,000 litres of fuel in a single tanker, and if you need more transferred, we’ll simply send more tankers.

Decommission and safely dispose of your old storage tank

If you’re finishing at a site and no longer need the storage tank, we can decommission it and safely remove it from the site, either permanently or temporarily, by filling your old oil storage tank with foam. RG22 hard foam completely fills your tank, is easy to manoeuvre and can be dissolved to allow the tank to be put back into use if it may be needed in the future.
