Diesel Generator Fuel Polishng
Diesel engines don't last forever, but they last a lot longer when they burn good quality fuel. Diesel left in tanks can become contaminated with water, leading to the potential growth of organic matter. If your fuel is left in your tank for long periods as a standby set, fuel polishing could be the answer. Using a special machine to filter the fuel, we can get your fuel back up to standard!
Fuel Polishing
Fuel polishing begins by connecting a fuel polishing rig to the diesel tank. The machine sucks the fuel from the tank and pumps it through a series of filters to remove water and other contamination. The process can take from an hour to a few days depending on the size of the tank and the contamination levels.

Water In Diesel Fuel
Depending on the amount of water in the fuel, the effects can vary from damage to the fuel pump and injectors to much more serious damage in the main block as water does not compress in an engine cylinder. The engine may not start, or start and fail later. Any water should be removed from your diesel fuel.

Diesel Bug
Diesel bug is a single microorganism or a group of microorganisms that grow on fuels, especially those contaminated by water. It includes bacteria, filamentous moulds and yeasts. Feeding on the hydrocarbons in the fuel they create biomass, biofilms and damaging by-products.
