Does the tank need cleaning before switching to HVO?

It depends on what was in it before: a compartment that held unleaded petrol must be inspected because of the different flash point. For diesel compartments cleaning isn’t mandatory – but we recommend it so deposits don’t end up in the new fuel.

Are my vehicles approved for HVO?

That's best checked with your vehicle supplier. We make sure the fuel station is ready.

Can I offer gas and liquid fuels from one dispenser?

With the Gilbarco SK700-II, yes: it handles up to 5 fuels, including CNG, LPG, AdBlue and E85.

Do I need a permit for the conversion?

That depends on the scope and the canton. We clarify it as part of consulting & planning – before any building starts.

New energies · the fuel station of tomorrow

The future fuels up differently. So can your station.

Fossil was yesterday. Almost.

HVO instead of fossil diesel, CNG and LPG at the pump: the fuel station is changing – and those who convert early stay in business. We check what your installation can already do, convert what's needed and supply the right equipment.

New Gilbarco SK700-II dispenser at AGROLA Zollbrück, technically ready for HVO — AGROLA Zollbrück: HVO-ready

New fuels don't need a new station. They need someone who knows what they're converting.

HVO CONVERSION

Drop-in doesn't mean eyes shut and pour

HVO is a drop-in diesel with a better CO₂ footprint – in principle it can be dispensed through existing diesel infrastructure. In principle. Because before the first litre of HVO goes into your tank, it pays to take a close look at the installation.

We check whether the tank, pipework, seals, hoses, filters and dispenser are suitable for HVO – based on your component manufacturers' specifications. Whatever doesn't fit, we replace. Whatever does, we document.

That's how we upgraded AGROLA Zollbrück for HVO with a new Gilbarco SK700-II, for example – and at new builds like AGROLA Sirnach, HVO is on board from day one.

HVO CHECK

What we look at before you switch

We tailor the exact scope to your installation. Typically:

Inventory: which tanks, pipework and dispensers are installed?
Material compatibility of seals, hoses and pipework per manufacturers' specifications
Tank condition: if the compartment previously held unleaded petrol, a tank inspection is mandatory because of the different flash point. For diesel compartments it isn’t mandatory, but recommended.
Filters and dispenser – replaced if needed, e.g. with a Gilbarco Endura or SK700-II
Update product labels on the dispenser, fuel terminal and tank monitoring
Update the documentation – including the explosion protection document on request

QUICK QUESTIONS

Questions about new energies

HVO is considered a drop-in diesel – even so, the tank, pipework, seals and dispenser should be checked first. That's exactly what we do before the switch.
