Fuel Cleaning and Polishing

The polishing system circulates and cleans fuel by pumping it from the tank, processing it through the cleaning unit and back into the tank. The filters in the unit remove sludge along with other organic/in- organic impurities and water in a continuous process until all contaminants are removed. The process cleans the tank and its contents at the same time.

Diesel engines depend on two vital ingredients: air with sufficient oxygen content and clean, uncontaminated fuel. Stored diesel deteriorates over time. Fuel companies only guarantee their fuel to remain within the original specification for only three to six months when in bulk storage. That’s because so called ‘middle distillate’ fuels, including modern low sulphur versions, are inherently unstable.

Over time formation of tank sludge is virtually inevitable. And if water is allowed to collect in the tank through condensation, then bacterial contamination is almost certain to occur. If this fuel is not processed, it can easily clog fuel filters and generators, leaving your business or building vulnerable.

In brief, cleaning your fuel system will, reduce costs and help customers with their environmental compliance - clean fuel improves filtration, combustibility and stability, lowers emissions and extends component life.

Engine systems:

• Dark exhaust smoke
• Poor Acceleration
• Low RPM at full throttle
• Corrosion in injectors
• Fuel line clogging
• Filters clogging

Symptoms in the tank:

• Dark-coloured fuel
• Slimy mass in tanks and filters
• Water in fuel
• Sediments
• Unusual odour
• Fuel system fouling
• Unexplained contamination

If you suffer from one or more of these symptoms, your fuel needs to be cleaned.
