What Is a Fuel Bowser?

A fuel bowser—also known as a fuel dispenser or fuel pump—is a device used to store and dispense fuel safely, including diesel, petrol, or aviation fuel. These units are commonly found at:
  • Service stations
  • Construction and mining sites
  • Agricultural farms
  • Industrial or remote facilities
  • Fuel bowsers can be:
  • Portable units
  • Trailer-mounted tanks
  • Stationary systems with integrated pumps, hoses, and meters
They are essential for refuelling vehicles, machinery, and equipment efficiently. Many fuel bowsers feature:
  • Flow meters
  • Dispensing nozzles
  • Fuel-grade hoses
  • Filtration systems
  • Bunded (double-walled) tanks for spill protection and environmental compliance

How to Operate a Fuel Bowser Safely

Operating a fuel bowser requires strict safety procedures to avoid hazards like fuel spills, fire risks, and environmental damage. Always follow these best practices:
  1. Read Manufacturer Instructions
    Follow all operational and safety guidelines provided by the bowser manufacturer.
  2. Wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
    Use gloves, eye protection, and flame-resistant clothing when handling fuel.
  3. Ensure Proper Grounding
    Ground the bowser to prevent static discharge during bulk fuel transfers.
  4. Turn Off Engines
    Make sure all vehicles or machinery being refuelled are switched off.
  5. Use Certified Components
    Only use nozzles and hoses rated for fuel use; check them for cracks or wear.
  6. Avoid Overfilling
    Monitor sight gauges and flow meters to prevent fuel overflow or spillage.
  7. Keep Fire Extinguishers Nearby
    A Class B-rated fire extinguisher should be easily accessible at all times.
  8. No Ignition Sources
    Enforce a strict no-smoking/no-flame zone around the fuel bowser.
Following these safety steps protects personnel and ensures regulatory compliance.

Fuel Bowser Maintenance Requirements

Routine maintenance extends the life of your fuel bowser and helps prevent operational issues. Include these key tasks in your maintenance schedule:
  • Regular Inspections
  • Check hoses, nozzles, meters, and seals for damage, wear, or leaks.
  • Filter Replacements
  • Change fuel filters regularly to ensure clean fuel delivery.
  • Pump Servicing
  • Test the pump motor, seals, and electrical connections for proper function.
  • Tank Cleaning
  • Clean the fuel tank periodically to remove sludge, water, or algae buildup.
  • Flow Meter Calibration
  • Recalibrate flow meters as needed to ensure accurate fuel measurement.
  • Bunding Inspection (if applicable)
  • Inspect bunded areas for cracks, leaks, and sufficient containment capacity.
A well-maintained fuel bowser operates more efficiently, reduces downtime, and ensures workplace safety.
