Our Experience in Liquid Engineering
Our experience in liquid engineering dates back many years, since before PGE was even founded, to when Jonathan and Marcus both worked at BP/Castrol (for over 45 years between them). The birth of our liquid engineering division came about thanks to BP/Castrol’s trust in their expertise and the need for them to continue to have access to these services.
Over the years, we have extended our relationships to other oil giants, and are now also approved contractors for Morris Oil, Total, and Volkswagen Oil Programme.

Thanks to our extensive experience in this area, we have also been contracted by Ford UK to oversee the oil monitoring systems in their production plants. This is critical to maintaining the integrity of their ‘just in time’ production line for engines and gearboxes.
We are also specialist consultants on oil storage regulations. If you store oil on your premises, we can help you navigate the complex legislation governing oil storage.
OUR LIQUID ENGINEERING SERVICES

Fluid dispensing
We can design a bespoke system for you according to the demands of your workshop. There are a range of components which we use to create these tanks including specialist pumps, alarms, pipework, distribution mechanisms and meters etc. All our systems are carefully calibrated to minimise tolerances and dispense according to current ‘weights and measures’ standards.

Fluid management
Keeping track of your inventory is crucial to business success. A fluid management system helps you to account for every drop of fluid. Who used it? How much did they use? Which job (and customer) did they use it for?
With tanks holding thousands of pounds worth of fluids, having accurate records of how that fluid is used helps you to stay in control.
Our fluid management systems are manufactured by market leaders, Graco, known for their Pulse Oil Monitoring systems, designed and developed in the USA. Feature-rich, they provide a host of benefits including:
- Delivery of product according to ‘weights and measures’ standards
- Real-time stock management
- Invoice accuracy
- Automated ordering
- Alarm notifications
- Total security
- Peace of mind

Storage tanks
All the tanks we supply are fully compliant with the oil storage regulations guidance. For example, they are ‘totally bunded’ in line with regulations. This means the tank is essentially a tank within a tank, minimising oil spillages if one tank ruptures.
You can choose a standard off-the-shelf design, however many garages require bespoke tanks to suit their specific layout and tank volume requirements. The space into which your tank must fit may be tall and square or long and narrow or short and wide. You may also need us to customise the size and number of inlet and outlet ports for your tanks. And finally, we can provide cabinets which house all ports and pumps to protect them from the weather while also keeping them secure.

Waste management
Waste management systems ensures the safe handling of products from the sump, tank or storage area, using the correct equipment, back into the storage tank, ready for collection and delivery to a disposal or recycling centre.
Each year, we receive hundreds of calls from customers dealing with waste oil spillages caused by an inadequate waste management system. These include the wrong tank design, no alarm systems to monitor tank levels or alarms which malfunction due to lack of maintenance. No-one wants to deal with waste oil spillages – they are expensive to clear up and can cause a great deal of damage.

HOW TO STORE OIL CORRECTLY
from Premier Garage Equipment
How to store oil correctly
Oil storage is strictly regulated by DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) to guarantee public and personal safety. It’s also important to follow these rules to avoid possible environmental damage and contamination. Commercial premises with storage capacity for 200 litres of oil upwards are subject to the legislation.
Oil must be stored in specific containers such as a drum, bunded tank or bowser. You must carry out a risk assessment and if your storage facility is deemed to be high risk, you will also be required to provide secondary containment around the primary storage. Factors likely to increase your risk include proximity to rivers, lakes and other waterways; proximity to open drains; and proximity to water sources such as wells and springs.
Whatever you use oil for, be it as fuel for vehicles or power, full compliance at all times is required, or you could face prosecution. Regular inspection and maintenance of oil tanks is addressed in the legislation as well as design requirements for tanks, which must meet current British Standards.
You’ll also need to check that you are compliant in other areas such as where tanks are located on your premises, tank security and any oil delivery mechanisms you have in place.
