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 »

Protect Your Stored Diesel Fuel: Prevent Contamination and Engine Damage

Protecting Stored Diesel Fuel from Contamination Diesel fuel starts to degrade and become contaminated within 28 days of storage. Typically, fuel can be stored 6–12 months, but without proper care, its quality will decline. To maximize storage life, many companies recommend: According to NFPA 110, diesel “Storage Life” is 1.5 to 2 years. Tanks should… 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 »

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 »
