Condensed Technical Analysis: Coalescer Claims vs. Dieselcraft Fuel Purifier Hydrophilic coalescer membranes do attract water and allow diesel to pass, causing droplets to merge and fall out by gravity. But they only remove free and emulsified water — not dissolved water. The widely advertised “99.99% water removal” is a marketing claim, not a field verified… Read more »

Hospitals and Care Facilities Diesel Fuel Testing
📌 What the Joint Commission Actually EnforcesThe Joint Commission’s Environment of Care (EC) and Physical Environment (PE) chapters reference NFPA 110 for emergency power systems.NFPA 110 requires: Generator test logs (monthly, annual, triennial)Joint Commission surveyors frequently cite missing or undocumented fuel testing as a deficiency. Annual fuel test results Corrective actions if fuel fails Sampling… Read more »
Diesel Tank Water Absorbers: Protect Your Fuel and Engine
A diesel tank water absorber is a simple, passive device placed inside a fuel tank to physically soak up and trap water so it can’t mix with your diesel, cause corrosion, or damage injectors. Think of it as a specialized absorbent “sponge” engineered to capture a specific amount of water and then be removed and… Read more »
What is the difference between Fuel Polishing and Fuel Maintenance?
Fuel polishing and fuel maintenance are related concepts in the context of stored fuels (especially diesel), but they differ in scope, frequency, and approach. These terms are most commonly used for backup generators, marine vessels, emergency power systems, or any application where fuel sits in tanks for long periods and can degrade. What is Fuel… Read more »

Fuel Problem…algae in the tank and plugged filters?
Addressing the Issue In every fuel tank, microbial colonies have the potential to flourish. While microbes are ubiquitous, they require fuel and water to proliferate. When water is present in the tank, these microbes find optimal conditions for growth, leading to fuel contamination and tank degradation. Factors such as warm weather and the use of… Read more »
Eradicating Microbial Colonies in Your Fuel
Microbes are ubiquitous, but once they’ve entrenched themselves in your fuel system, half-measures may prove ineffective in eliminating them. Without addressing the root cause by removing free water and significantly reducing the active colony, microbial resurgence is likely. While achieving complete sterilization of a fuel system may be elusive, it’s possible to manage and mitigate… 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 Actually Cleans 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 »
