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 »
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 »
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 »

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 »
My Diesel Fuel is Black – Causes and Solutions
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 »
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 »
