However, fuel pumps are critical components of a company’s operational and logistical processes, and a well-maintained fuel pump is less likely to fail unexpectedly or perform inaccurately.
Regular servicing helps maintain the optimal performance and efficiency of fuel pumps. Over time, fuel pumps can develop wear and tear, leading to reduced efficiency and compromised performance. An annual service allows technicians to inspect, clean, and replace any worn-out components with genuine replacements, ensuring that the fuel pump continues to operate at its best.
By performing an annual service, potential issues can be detected and addressed early, increasing the overall reliability and durability of the fuel pump. If a fuel pump fails and the business has a break down situation, this can impact on their immediate ability to continue with their planned activities.
A well-maintained fuel pump also contributes to the safety of the fuel installation and onsite requirements. If a fuel pump malfunctions or fails, the site can have not only a safety hazard to deal with but also an environmental one. An annual OEM service helps identify and address any potential safety concerns in advance, ensuring the equipment continues to operate reliably and safely.
Some fuel pumps already come with manufacturer warranties and OEMs can also usually offer extended warranties, as well as an inspection and calibration visit. By following the recommended annual service schedule provided by the OEM, fuel pump owners can ensure that their fuel pump warranty remains intact and they have the maximum protection available when it comes to equipment maintenance.

With Merridale’s own range now available, as well as still supplying Gilbarco with fuel management units, the marketplace had the choice of buying either a complete Merridale built package or a Gilbarco built version of the same management system.
