Keeping generators reliable starts long before an outage ever happens. Recently, our Jacksonville, Florida team gathered outdoors in the equipment yard for a focused fuel testing training, combining a refresher for experienced technicians with hands-on onboarding for new team members.
This session reinforced best practices while ensuring every technician is aligned on how proper fuel testing protects generator performance, customer budgets, and regulatory compliance.
Training With Purpose
Fuel testing is not just a routine task. It plays a critical role in identifying issues that can quietly turn into major failures or costly environmental problems.
During this training, the Jacksonville team worked through simulated testing scenarios, reviewing correct testing procedures, safety considerations, and how to interpret fuel readings accurately. The goal was consistency, attention to detail, and confidence across the entire team.
The session was led by Chad and Roy, who brought years of hands-on experience into the yard. Their leadership ensured the training remained practical, realistic, and grounded in real-world service conditions.
Hands-On Learning That Sticks
One standout moment came when Roy demonstrated fuel testing using a makeshift kit, walking the team step by step through the process and explaining what to look for in the results. This type of demonstration helps newer technicians connect procedures to real outcomes, while giving experienced techs a chance to refine their approach.
Training outdoors around equipment mirrors the environments our technicians work in every day. It also encourages discussion, questions, and collaboration across the entire team.
Why Fuel Testing Matters for Customers
Fuel testing is essential for several reasons:
- Verifying fuel quality and proper readings
- Identifying leaks early before they result in major repairs or environmental concerns
- Supporting annual FDEP inspections, which require compliant fuel systems
- Reducing long-term costs by catching issues before they escalate
For Florida facilities especially, proactive fuel testing helps ensure standby systems are ready for storm season and regulatory review alike.
Investing In Team Growth
This training was not just about procedures. It was about building confidence, reinforcing standards, and continuing to invest in the people who support our customers every day. Bringing the entire Jacksonville team together ensures knowledge is shared, expectations are aligned, and new technicians learn directly from seasoned professionals.
That commitment to training is how we maintain consistent service quality across every region we serve.
