What Fuel Proof does

Fuel Proof Limited is a UK-based, privately-held manufacturer of bunded fuel storage tanks, diesel bowsers, and aviation refuelling equipment, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Morecambe, Lancashire. The company designs and fabricates double-skinned steel and polyethylene tanks with capacities ranging from 250 litres for portable caddies up to 60,000 litres for bulk aviation systems, all engineered to meet Environment Agency PPG2, ADR (highway transport), and CAA (aviation) regulatory standards. Its product portfolio extends across Fuelcubes, towable site and highway bowsers, bulk horizontal and vertical tanks, generator fuel tanks, AdBlue/DEF storage solutions, water bowsers, dust suppression units, and a full range of fuel transfer pumps, filters, gauges, and dispensing accessories.

Fuel Proof operates a multi-channel commercial model: a transactional e-commerce online store for standardised mobile tanks and accessories with published pricing (e.g., £512 for a 55L Diesel Caddy, £994 for a 440L Mobile AdBlue Tank), and a quote-based direct sales process for bespoke bunded, bulk, and aviation systems that frequently run into tens of thousands of pounds per unit. Recurring revenue is generated through the Fuel Proof Hire equipment rental business (operated by related entity Roll-Tec Safety Limited) and a dedicated parts and servicing department supporting the installed base. The customer base of over 16,000 global accounts spans 11 verticals including Agriculture, Aviation, Construction, Emergency Services, Forestry, Ground Care, Industrial, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Quarrying & Mining, and Transport & Logistics. Distribution outside the UK is supported through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, Fuel Proof USA, which markets UL142-compliant Fuelcube products via distributor partnerships.

The business is founder-privately-held with no disclosed venture or growth-equity investment. The company employs between 51 and 100 staff and has operated continuously for over 25 years, positioning it as an established specialist manufacturer rather than a high-growth technology venture. Strategic priorities visible from the input data include US geographic expansion, aviation vertical build-out, AdBlue product line extension, and the hire/rental channel as an adjacent recurring-revenue lever.
