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 »

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 »
Contaminants on Engine Performance
Contaminants can have a significant impact on engine performance, whether it’s a gasoline or diesel engine. Here’s how various contaminants can affect engine performance: To mitigate the impact of contaminants on engine performance, regular maintenance is essential. This includes changing air, fuel, and oil filters at recommended intervals, using high-quality fuel and lubricants, flushing and… 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 »
Diesel Engine Quit? Mystery Liquid in Fuel System – What to Do
Never assume the fuel you purchase is 100% in spec. Here is a sample purchased at a national brand truck stop that was delivering B20 fuel, meaning 20% Biodiesel and pulled from the trucks water separator. B20 is a common blend because it represents a good balance of cost, emissions, cold-weather performance, materials compatibility, and… Read more »

Cloudy Boat Fuel? How to Protect Your Engine and Restore Fuel Quality
We always should assume that the tank has some amount of water on the bottom. You made a trip in rough water and it has clouded the fuel during the trip. Where did I get the water? Check the fill port gasket and vents to see if that is how the water entered the tanks…. Read more »
12 Benefits of Using an Oil Centrifuge for Diesel Engines
12 Benefits we can list for using an oil centrifuge…… Can you name 1 for using your filter? 1. Cleaner oil, GUARANTEED. 2. 30-50% longer oil life. This means cost of oil changes goes down by at least 30%. The cost of oil is going UP. Your $250 change today may be $350 soon. 3…. Read more »
