THE CLEAN


DIESEL EXPERTS


Three decades spent ensuring service
station fuel tanks are spotless have made
Fuel Doctors Australia the ultimate experts
in protecting your diesel’s fuel system

WHOSE ADVICE CAN YOU TRUST?


Steve Marriott, the founder of Fuel Doctors, began his career
driving trucks from London to the Middle East, then driving Heavy
Haulage leviathans, building petrochemical plants in Iran and
Saudi Arabia before arriving in Australia in 1980 on a working
holiday with a passion to drive pole trucks and road trains. The two
common denominator’s of the above were the constant changing
of fuel filters due to contamination and the use of fuel additives
that either blocked the fuel filters sooner or didn’t work at all.
Establishing Liquid Engineering Qld in 1990 as an underground
fuel tank cleaning and preventative maintenance company put Steve’s
fuel contamination experience to good use. With more work in service
stations & truck stops and access into those tanks limited to a 50mm
dip and 100mm fill, presented a considerable challenge to achieve the
removal of accumulated tank bottom debris.
A chance social meeting with an industrial chemist, who has a
special interest in fuel science led to the in-house development of a
formulation that would release and safely disperse tank bottom
debris into the fuel for removal via centrifuge and filtration - that
chemical was christened Fuel Doctor.
August 22nd 1994 was the first trading day of Fuel Doctors
Australia. They’ve been delivering world-class technical support
with industry-leading technology ever since.

WHY IS FUEL DOCTORS DIFFERENT?


Fuel Doctors has been cleaning underground fuel tanks since


  1. All of the fuel related additives they tested back then for
    retail and industrial application made the problems of dirty fuel
    tanks worse! They tell us sometimes they didn’t have time to test
    and were very embarrassed when the result was worse than
    when they started.
    In those days they derived 100% of their income from cleaning
    tanks, so making things worse was not a good business model;
    twenty-seven years later they still derive 60% of their income
    from getting dirty every day cleaning fuel tanks. Fuel Doctors are
    the only fuel additive company in the world to generate the lion’s
    share of its income by utilising the product it makes as a tool of
    trade on a daily basis. Fuel Doctors raw materials for the blending
    of Fuel Doctor are German sourced, because “quality not price” is
    their prerequisite. If Fuel Doctor does not perform in their daily
    tank cleaning operations, they are out of business as they only
    have one product and only know one thing; fuel quality.

hen it comes
to fuel
additives, it’s
extremely
hard to tell
what’s genuinely offering any
benefit to your vehicle, and
what’s just ‘snake oil in a
bottle’. You’ve got to be able to

trust the company behind the
label. The man behind Fuel
Doctors Australia, Steve
Marriott, has decades of
experience cleaning diesel fuel
on an industrial scale. You’ll be
blown away by the molecular
science behind every bottle of
Fuel Doctors fuel treatment!
