When biodiesel is poorly made—often referred to as “bad biodiesel”—one of the biggest red flags is a high concentration of glycerine (or glycerin/glycerol). Here’s why that matters:🧪 What Glycerine Is in Biodiesel• Glycerine is a byproduct of the transesterification process used to make biodiesel from fats or oils.• Ideally, it should be separated and removed… Read more »

The Science Behind Effective Fuel Filtration Systems: How Do They Work?
Effective fuel filtration systems are crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of engines, whether in vehicles, machinery, or industrial equipment. These systems work by removing contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the engine, thereby preventing damage and ensuring optimal operation. Here’s an overview of the science behind how they work:
It is not algae in diesel fuel. What is it?
Bacteria found in diesel fuel primarily belong to two main types: aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can thrive in the water that accumulates in fuel storage tanks and fuel systems, especially when there’s a lack of proper maintenance or when the fuel is contaminated. These bacteria can cause various problems in diesel fuel systems,… Read more »
What is Fuel Polishing?
Fuel polishing is a process that involves filtering and purifying stored fuel to remove contaminants, water, and sediments that may have accumulated over time. It is commonly used for diesel fuel and other types of stored fuels to ensure their quality, maintain optimal performance, and prevent damage to engines or equipment. Fuel polishing is particularly… Read more »
The Best Diesel Fuel Additive… that works to clean the tank.
Does your additive claim it is a premium 6-in-1 diesel additive or is a total injector cleaner and performance improver? Some magically make water burn off, to raise fuel cetane, to solve the gelling problem and more all in one bottle. The more things it claims to do, the less chance it can actually do… Read more »
What is Fuel Polishing & why you need it.
Hey there! Are you tired of your diesel fuel getting contaminated and causing all sorts of problems for your equipment? Our portable fuel polishing system is here to save the day (and your fuel). Here’s the deal: our system uses cutting-edge filter-less purifier technology to remove 99% of water and solid contaminants from your fuel…. Read more »
What is the minimum to do to?
It has been determined by the 28 day, stored diesel fuel begins to become contaminated and start to degrade. Diesel fuel can only be stored from 6 to 12 months and not expect some sort of effects of bad fuel if you do nothing. Many companies suggest to effect the life of the of stored… Read more »
Case Study May 2021
The C18 has between 400 and 700 HP so the fuel flow can be between 72 GPH and 126 GPH. The choice of TFP80 from the other manufactures is too small. Based on its size the residence time of the fuel is less than 20 seconds. Our 5×8 because of the design will give 30… Read more »
Black dirty diesel fuel
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 »
Why Fuel Polishing
Fuel polishing is the cleaning process used to remove contamination from diesel fuel in storage. It is the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination. This contamination builds up over time if they aren’t tested and treated regularly. Stored fuel will have some of the following issues for sure any of which will lead to… Read more »
