Through ongoing investment in the latest infrastructure, the facility can now offer road rack loading rates of 2,200 litres per arm per minute and an average gate-to-gate turnaround time of around 20 minutes. 

The facility’s three road loading bays include a new state-of-the-art bay, featuring additive injection to allow a range of diesel grades to be supplied according to customer demand,  two new additive tanks, a best-in-class additivation rack system and new large and small-bore pipework. In addition, our advanced road loading system incorporates Accuload equipment to measure volumes and Fuel-Facs software and distributive control systems to manage loading. The new systems also produce HMRC-compliant paperwork.
