The color of fuel indicates the fuels age or bacteria growth. The dark color is coming from one or the other. To fix old diesel remove the water first. Less than 50 gallons of fuel consider Mr Funnel to remove the water. Once the water is gone he can then filter out the solids. BUT… Read more »
Reduce Costs and Risk with Oil Filter Recycling and Centrifuge Systems
If you maintain diesel engines, you likely accumulate a large number of used oil filters each year—full of sludge and contaminated engine oil. The EPA considers these used filters hazardous waste until they are properly processed for disposal or recycling, and violations can result in costly fines. Recycling Oil Filters Recycling is the preferred alternative… Read more »
Fuel Polishing for Diesel Fuel: Remove Contamination and Protect Engines
Fuel polishing is the process used to clean diesel fuel stored in tanks by removing water, sediment, and microbial contamination. Over time, stored fuel can accumulate contaminants if it isn’t tested and treated regularly. Common Issues in Stored Diesel Fuel Stored fuel can develop: Any of these contaminants can lead to engine failure at the… Read more »
Diesel Fuel Water & DEF Test Kit – Detect Contamination Quickly
If your diesel engine isn’t running properly, someone may have accidentally pumped DEF into the fuel tank. This can cause serious engine problems—but you don’t have to guess. With the Diesel Fuel Water or DEF Test Kit (#DEF-1), you can test for contamination quickly, safely, and easily. Features of the DEF-1 Test Kit Kit Includes:… Read more »
Ford 6.4 Diesel Oil Filter Upgrade: Dieselcraft OC‑25 Reusable Solution
I did a lot of research on bypass filtration, and I never knew anything about centrifuges until recently. They are way better than “filter element” kits, and Dieselcraft has the most competitively priced system (You could try to piece one together from another source but you will end up paying way more). This kit is… Read more »
Prevent Microbial Growth in Your Diesel Fuel Tank
Technically, algae cannot grow inside a diesel fuel tank because it requires sunlight to survive. However, other microbes—like mold, bacteria, and fungus—can thrive in diesel fuel under the right conditions, causing serious problems if left unchecked. How Microbes Grow in Diesel Fuel Microbes need water and nutrients to survive. A diesel tank with free water… Read more »
Why You Should Worry About Your Generator’s Old Diesel Fuel
Unlike vehicles, generator diesel fuel often sits in tanks for years, because it’s stored for emergencies rather than regular use. Over time, this fuel degrades, causing performance issues and potential engine damage. Consider this scenario: Why Old Diesel Fuel Is a Problem To comply with NFPA 110 (Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems), fuel… Read more »
Why Testing for Water in Diesel Fuel is Essential
No matter how carefully you handle diesel fuel, there’s almost always some water present—often delivered directly in the fuel. The key is keeping water levels as low as possible, and testing your diesel fuel regularly is the best way to do it. 1. Prevent Engine Failure High water content in diesel fuel can lead to… Read more »
Turn Waste Oil into Savings: Benefits of Recycling with a Cleaning System
Did you know the waste oil your company produces isn’t really “waste”? With the right waste oil cleaning system, you can remove solids, refresh it with a small amount of new oil, and extend its useful life—saving money while helping the environment. 1. Reuse Waste Oil for Multiple Purposes Cleaned waste oil can lubricate motorized… Read more »
Clogged Fuel Filters? Here’s Why They Don’t Solve the Problem
What is the problem, it is not algae sludge. A lot of people wee fooled for a long time. Relatively clear fuel but clogged filters after 2,000 mile in a Class 8 Truck. The problem was constant filter clogging with a black colored material. Generally if it is a fuel tank with a black film… Read more »
