Oil & Fuel Spill Kits
Oil and fuel spill kits are designed to contain and clean up spills involving diesel, petrol, hydraulic oil and other hydrocarbons. Available in sizes from 40L to 770L, these kits use water-repellent absorbents that work on wet surfaces and water. Suitable for workshops, fuel storage areas, transport yards and marine sites, the range includes portable kits and larger spill response bins, with oil and fuel absorbents available for restocking.
Oil and Fuel Spill Kits for Hydrocarbon Response On Site and On Water
The defining feature of an oil spill kit is what it leaves behind. The absorbents are hydrophobic, so they take up hydrocarbons and shed water rather than soaking it up. On a wet hardstand, in a yard after rain, or on the surface of a marina, that means the full absorbent capacity goes to the fuel or oil instead of being wasted on water. A general purpose kit in the same conditions saturates with rainwater long before it has dealt with the spill.
That makes oil and fuel kits the right specification wherever hydrocarbons are the dominant risk and the location is exposed. Bowsers and refuelling points, bulk diesel stores, transport and plant yards, workshops with hydraulic and engine oil, and any operation near water all fit the profile. The absorbents also float, which is what allows the same technology to work on spills that have reached a waterway.
Kit sizing steps from portable through to major incident capacity. The 40L and 80L kits are carry formats for a vehicle, a plant room or a single refuelling point. The 120L and 240L kits sit in labelled wheelie bins for fuel stores and workshop floors. The 400L and 770L kits move into major response territory, with the 770L carrying 400 pads, 20 minibooms, five pillows, an absorbent roll, 20kg of floorsweep, a broom, a spark-proof shovel, and four sets of gloves, safety glasses and overalls, in a 660L labelled bin. Refill kits are available for the 120L, 240L, 400L and 770L, so a used kit can be brought back to full rather than replaced.
