Fuel System Design & Engineering

“Designed by the people who build the systems.”

For 29 years, we have engineered and designed the fuel systems we install Fleet fuel systems, back up generator fuel, aviation fueling, water storage, chemical tanks and retail stations. Now that same in-house expertise is available as a standalone service, whether we build your project or someone else does.

Engineering a Fuel System Is Not the Same as Engineering a Building

Most engineering firms can draw a tank. Very few
understand the codes, the permitting agencies, and the field realities that decide whether a fuel system gets approved, built, and passes inspection.

A fuel system design that misses a setback requirement, an air district vapor rule, a seismic anchorage detail, or a secondary containment spec does more than cost you a redraw. It costs you permit delays, change orders, and Notices of Violation.

You need engineering from a team that has lived every step of the process: design, permitting, construction, testing, and environmental compliance.

Standalone Fuel System Design From a True Design-Build Specialist

We are not a general engineering firm that occasionally touches fuel. Storage tank systems are our entire business. We design fuel systems for retail, commercial, and critical infrastructure, plus chemical and water storage tank systems. Every set of drawings we produce is informed by nearly three decades of installing, testing, and maintaining the exact systems we draw.

For years, customers have asked us to engineer and design projects they planned to build with their own crews or contractors. So we made it official. Whether you bring in your own contractor or handle construction internally, you get the same engineering rigor we apply to our own designbuild work.

Designed to Pass the First Time

Our fuel system designs are built around the regulatory reality of California and the agencies you will actually deal with. We engineer to:

  • NFPA 30 and 30A flammable and combustible liquids codes
  • UL 142 and UL 2085 steel aboveground tank standards
  • California Health & Safety Code storage tank and hazardous materials requirements
  • California Code of Regulations, Title 23 underground storage tank regulations
  • EPA SPCC spill prevention, control, and countermeasure requirements
  • SCAQMD to California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local air district vapor and emissions requirements
  • CUPA, State Water Board, and local fire authority requirements
Have a project you need to design and don’t know where to get started? Give us a call for a free consultation.
