Gulf Aviation, part of UK independent fuel distributor Certas Energy, has entered into a new partnership with Heysham-based fuel storage equipment manufacturer Fuel Proof.

As part of the aviation-only collaboration, Fuel Proof will supply bunded tanks with capacities ranging from 330 litres up to 85,000 litres to a number of UK airports and airfields, including Birmingham and Cardiff, that are Gulf Aviation Jet A1 and Avgas 100LL customers.

With an inner tank constructed from stainless steel the storage tanks, Fuel Proof claims, offer security and durability with systems that are designed to deliver better security, service life, ease of use, reliability and value for money for aviation customers. The storage options will be available through leases, lease purchases or direct sales and can be adapted to meet individual budgets and requirements.

“We're delighted to be collaborating with Fuel Proof to enhance the storage capabilities we can offer our aviation fuel customers,” says Gulf Aviation commercial manager David Dykes. ”We know from listening to our customers that they already trust the Fuel Proof brand and welcome the quality of its products and the safety it offers. It was one of the main reasons we chose to speak with it about a partnership, and we also know it shares the same values as us in terms of providing excellent service and exceptional value.”

Roger Pilkington, who oversees the aviation department at Fuel Proof, adds: “We are very excited about the opportunity this offers us as a business. Gulf Aviation is a huge company and an internationally-recognised brand, and for us to be an official partner of it is very exciting for all of us in the business. We know our products offer the highest in quality, so we are confident in our ability to accommodate all fuel requests, from small airfields to regional airports. We're looking forward to growing and adapting with Gulf Aviation over the course of our partnership.”
