Back in 1991, when BOSS was established, driving off from the pump without paying dominated forecourt crime. Its growth indirectly led to BOSS being created to help retailers address the problem in a co-ordinated way, and to work more closely with local police forces. Since then, the value and cost of fuel crime has continued to escalate and during the last decade it has more than doubled. BOSS now estimates that annually, fuel crime costs forecourt operators around £60m.

This remarkable tank marks a step-change for the sector.  It delivers superior security and protection to its AdBlue contents, while its island-friendly contours and unique ‘Make it Your Own’ branding will enhance the visual appearance of any petrol station.

The Slimline Edge is the epitome of innovation and clever design; its triple-walled “TriComp” construction ensures the purity of AdBlue and offers full security and protection of its contents should the tank be accidentally punctured.  TriComp also means petrol stations will not suffer the disruption and cost of any consequent dispensing downtime for tank repairs if the external wall is damaged.

The AdBlue is further protected by the tank’s integrated closed-fluid path systems, stainless steel piping and industry-leading componentry.

But there’s more to the Slimline Edge than just its ability to safeguard AdBlue supplies. This tank is described as a “chameleon” by its designers.  The ‘Make it Your Own’ concept means that the exterior walls can be fully customised to reflect a business’s brand identity and visuals, and users can also specify the roof colour.  The result is a bold and brilliant statement for the petrol station owners that reinforces their brand, stands out from the competition, and/or better reflects the aesthetics of the surroundings.

Its name also gives a clue to its sleek, smooth – not to say curvaceous – lines which are another ‘first’ for the sector.  What’s more, the Slimline Edge is cleverly designed to fit neatly into the central island.

Users will have many options to choose from covering all potential AdBlue storage and dispensing needs.  They include:  remote storage tanks; integrated storage and dispensing tanks; and storage tanks that are compatible with industry-leading dispenser companies.  All of these can be adapted for cold climate usage.

“This really hits the sweet-spot when it comes to innovation and sector development,” says Kirstie Lassallette-Desnault, Global Commercial Lead, AdBlue Equipment.  “The team behind the Slimline Edge spent more than a year talking to the industry, and what they have done has broken the mould and changed the rules for AdBlue storage; nothing in the sector comes close to it.

“Slimline Edge combines world-class design, an appreciation of the operating environment, the ultimate in product security and proven environmental protection.  We can proudly say that our team has produced a truly iconic storage solution.

“Based on the feedback from leading global AdBlue players and partners, combined with recent awards, we are sure that the Slimline Edge is soon going to be a feature of petrol stations around the globe.”

The fact that the Slimline Edge has had such an immediate impact, and demand is likely to be global, will not cause any concerns for Kingspan.

“Kingspan has over 100 manufacturing and distribution sites across the world,” continues Kirstie.  “And there are more than 10,000 Kingspan BlueMaster AdBlue storage and dispensing units currently operating within international markets from Christchurch to Santiago, so we know engineering, manufacturing and logistical operations will support the expected level of orders.  We will offer fast turnaround on any size of customer orders from individual units to major, multiple contracts.”

She adds: “Kingspan offers manufacturing excellence and a reputation for regulatory compliance and customer service.  We are responsible for the production of our own products ensuring end-to-end quality control, all of which is backed by our local on the ground expert sales and customer support teams across the world.”

Kingspan storage and dispensing tanks, including Slimline Edge are bunded to 110 percent, enabling them to withstand factors like UV, temperature, light, moisture, extreme heat, extreme cold and many others. Each AdBlue unit conforms to the highest manufacturing and material compliance standards (ISO 22241, ISO9001:2008 and ISO 1400:2008) to protect the chemical characteristics of their contents.

Why were the dyes – Euromarker and solvent blue 79 – considered ineffective markers, too easily removed by fuel launderers, and leading to a loss of revenue going into hundreds of millions of euro? The answer lies in the chemical structure of the two dyes.

Chemically, these two dyes dissolve in diesel/gas oil but they can also be quite easily separated from it. This has led fuel launderers to use chemicals like hydrochloric acid to remove the dye Euromarker, and various resins and clays to remove Solvent Blue 79. Quantitative measurement of these dyes is also straightforward – using an extraction process and measuring UV absorption with a spectrophotometer instrument. The latter would be an ordinary enough instrument in a modern laboratory.

Testing for Euromarker can be carried out with a roadside check by the Customs, and if the oil result looks suspicious, the sample can be sent to the laboratory. But the ease of extraction also leads to fuel launderers mimicking this method in the dye removal. A consequence of this has been the successful development of economically viable methods of removing the dyes. The hunt for the ultimate non-removable additive was on, and last year the British and Irish Revenue Commissioners decided that the Accutrace S-10 molecular marker was the answer.

What’s different about Accutrace S-10?

They want to make this new additive as difficult as possible to remove. Think about diesel/marked gas oil as containing hundreds of compounds/chemicals, all belonging to the same family. An additive is chosen that is very similar to these compounds/chemicals, then is added to the fuel.

This gives two distinct advantages. First, you have to find the compound – and to do this you have to use a highly sophisticated instrument – a GC mass spectrometer set up specifically for this method. This instrument can identify molecular structures and measure down to extremely low concentration levels. The second advantage is – having found and identified Accutrace S-10, how do you technically remove it in a way that is economically viable for the launderers. These two problems have definitely slowed up the growth of laundered fuel but does it really mean the end?

The state of play

Any technical problem can be solved if you throw enough time and expertise at it. And no doubt there are people working on the removal of Accutrace, within the technical and economic constraints that the fuel launderers operate under. But so far the advantage does seem to be with the Revenue Commissioners – that is not to say it will stay with them indefinitely. It is widely believed in the industry that it is only a matter of time before the fuel launderers develop an economic and technically feasible method of Accutrace S-10 removal.

The solution 

While the fuel launderers experiment, unsuspecting motorists are still being subjected to new “Cocktails” which will almost certainly lead to short and long term problems. So what can you do to protect yourselves? Source your fuel from a company with a record for integrity and quality control. Remember, the only sure way to check for bone fide fuel is an analysis for Accutrace S-10. If this is present and the other two dyes are not, the fuel has almost certainly undergone a laundering process and the Revenue Commissioner will prosecute. Contact us and we will set up a Quality Program to address your concerns within any budget limit. The Accutrace-free results will assure motorists/hauliers of the integrity of your product, increase the loyalty of existing customers and grow sales in an unstable, uncertain market.
