About Me
Simon Fowler, Fuel Installation Design Consultant:
I have been employed in the commercial vehicle refuelling industry since 1981 and have seen many changes which including the introduction of legislation and environmental guidance to govern the way diesel and petrol is stored.
In 1994 I established Vectec Ltd to provide a complete service to the public and private sector to design, supply, install, maintain and decommission bulk vehicle refuelling facilities. Vectec now has hundreds of public and private sector customers and looks after more than a thousand sites throughout Great Britain.
Since 2015 I have been working with Powerelectrics to develop their Metron 4. The Metron 4 provides cost effective remote telemetry for fuel installations.
In 2017 I joined the All Party Parliamentary Group for Energy Studies. This has been a fascinating time to participate in the meetings and presentations as the urgency to prepare the road for net zero in 2050 has increased.
It has become clear to me that a lot of solutions being put forward are impractical or too expensive to implement and I believe there will be a strong role for second and third generation biofuels.
I am now offering my services in:
- Fuel installation design
- Auditing existing fuel sites
- Installation of remote telemetry
- Supply and installation of HVO refuelling facilities
I have 40 years experience working within the vehicle refuelling industry.
I have designed many fuel storage and refuelling installations specifying the appropriate design of fuel storage tank, pipework, fuel dispenser and fuel management system.
I have undertaken many compliance audits of customers’ fuel storage and refuelling sites to ensure that they meet with the requirements of the many regulations and guidelines which cover the storage and dispensing of fuel.
Many customers no longer have the internal resources or knowledge to manage the installation of a fuel storage facility because of the vast range of alternative fuel pump dispensers, fuel tanks, pipe systems and fuel management systems on the market today. I can assist your fuel installation planning and design.
By undertaking a survey of the site and interviewing the stakeholders I can draw up a specification for a fuel installation project which can then be used within a tender process.
I can also manage a new fuel installation on an open book basis, which is frequently a more economic alternative to employing a single contractor.
If you have any fuel installation projects that need this type of input please contact Simon Fowler, Fuel Installation Design Consultant to discuss them further.
