Forecourt cleaning
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:36:07 pm »
Hi all

Im thinking about offering my services to local petrol stations,theres some around with block paving.My question is does petrol / diesel come off easy or not or will it leave an oily patch ,especially diesel??
From past experiences petrol does leave film but is only visible when wet.

the health and safety is massive at petrol stations with the diesle and petrol on the forecourt and your petrol washer.  risk assessments and methos statements are massive.  you need strong advice before offering to clean the stations.  hopefully someone will advise.

hi there

not many of the petrol stations used to have the forecourts pressure washed as all the run off goes into interceptors, and the cost of having them emptied isnt cheap.

dont know if it is different these days.
