AGP Generators manages bulk diesel supply for generator sets across South Africa, covering tank installation and bunding, level monitoring and telemetry, theft prevention, fuel polishing and scheduled delivery. Diesel degrades in storage through water ingress, microbial growth and oxidation, so polishing and rotation keep stored fuel usable rather than a sludge that stalls a set mid-outage. Consumption reporting ties litres burned to runtime, giving owners a real cost per hour and an early warning of theft or leaks.

How we work
1
Tank and bund design
We size the bulk tank to the required autonomy and install it with bunding that meets local fire and environmental rules, so a spill is contained.
2
Monitoring and telemetry
Level sensors feed a telemetry dashboard so fuel state is visible remotely, with low-level and theft alerts rather than a dipstick guess.
3
Polishing and rotation
Stored diesel is polished and rotated to remove water and microbial growth, keeping fuel usable over long storage periods instead of degrading into sludge.
4
Scheduled delivery
Deliveries are scheduled against telemetry and consumption so the tank never runs dry during an outage and never overfills between events.
5
Consumption reporting
Litres burned are tied to runtime in a consumption report, giving a real cost per hour and an early warning of theft, leaks or a set running rich.
Why diesel degrades in storage
Diesel is not a stable forever-fuel. In storage it absorbs water from condensation, which lets microbes grow at the fuel-water interface and produce acids and sludge. Oxidation also forms gums and varnishes that clog filters and injectors.
A set that draws from a neglected tank will start, run briefly, then stall on blocked filters — exactly when it is needed. Polishing circulates the fuel through water-separating and fine filtration to remove water, microbes and particulates, and rotation keeps the stock fresh.
Theft prevention and consumption visibility
Diesel is a high-value, easily removed commodity. Lockable fill points, metered bowsers and telemetry alerts on sudden level drops turn mysterious empty gauges into auditable events.
Consumption reporting ties litres to runtime, so a set burning more than its nameplate rate flags a leak, a theft or a rich-running fault long before the monthly invoice arrives.
What it costs
Pricing for fuel management depends on the factors below. We quote in writing so the full cost is visible before any work starts.

Yes. We size the bulk tank to the required autonomy and install it with bunding that meets local fire and environmental rules, then manage delivery and polishing against telemetry.
