Southeast Tank Services

Based on years of fuel tank decontamination experience, Southeast Tank Services services both commercial and private ownership customers in greater northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia. Having started Maine Fuel Polishing in 2009, Carl and Alex have seen just about every type of gasoline and diesel fuel tank issue. Never afraid of a challenge, often they've been tasked with creating additional access to tank interiors when warranted and have designed some creative solutions for tough-to-clean fuel tanks. Due to Carl's tendency to favor working in the marine environment, he and Alex built a strong Maine coastal based business to serve boaters, marinas and repair shops from Eastport, Maine all the way down the New Hampshire border. As the opportunities arose, they found themselves servicing larger and larger tanks and designed and built a fuel filtering system to meet the needs of customers with tanks up to 15 thousand gallons in size. Then, and now in Florida and Georgia, they service a wider variety of tanks to include not only marine related business, but also serve the heavy equipment and stationary tank industries. Sharing a strong work ethic and knowing the value of good relationships, Alex and Carl continue to work to create new alliances so that fuel tank decontamination expertise is available to customers in need as a more affordable option to expensive replacement alternatives.
