Proactive, Compliant, Reliable: How Octane’s Planned Preventative Maintenance Keeps Fuel Systems Running

At Octane Holding Group, we don’t just build and install fuel infrastructure – we help our clients keep it running at peak performance. Through our specialist Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) service, we’re supporting fuel-dependent operations across the UK with regular, compliant, and cost-effective maintenance support.

From airfields and ambulance depots to logistics hubs and industrial sites, Octane’s PPM programmes are helping organisations reduce downtime, extend the life of their assets, and stay fully compliant with the latest industry regulations.

What Does Planned Preventative Maintenance Include?

Our comprehensive PPM packages are tailored to the specific needs of your site and include:

• Scheduled inspections and system health checks
  Ensuring all pumps, meters, tanks, valves, and electrical systems are working efficiently and safely.
• Fuel meter calibration and accuracy testing
  We keep fuel meters within legal tolerances, supporting cost control and regulatory confidence.
• Safety, bund integrity and leak check
  We inspect containment systems and bunds to minimise environmental risks and ensure compliance with the latest storage regulations.
• Full reporting and certification
  Digital reports are supplied following every visit, including calibration certificates and maintenance records—ideal for audit readiness.
• Issue identification and expert guidance
  If we find a fault, we don’t just flag it, we recommend a solution and can often carry out remedial work there and then.

• Reduced risk of unplanned downtime
