Why You Need Clean Diesel Fuel
With modern diesel engines, fuel quality is paramount, and poor fuel quality is prime cause of generator set and diesel engine problems. But no matter how carefully fuel is handled, contaminants find their way into fuel during transfer, storage or even inside a vehicle's tank.
Water, an engine's primary enemy, condenses directly from the air during normal day/night heating and cooling cycles. In addition to water, rust particles and chips from corroding tanks and piping, air blown silica sand, and other small particles are common in diesel fuel supply streams.

When there is free water in a diesel fuel tank, microbes have everything they need to grow, causing fouled fuel and damaging fuel tanks in the process.
Microbial growth can occur in a bulk storage tank or in a piece of equipment that is left idle for a long period of time. Alive or dead, microbes will clog filters and corrode fuel system components.

Racor Filter Carts are a cost effective way to filter diesel, jet fuels, bio-diesel, and other petroleum hydrocarbon fluids in storage or transport. These filter carts polish, clean up, and recycle old or contaminated fuel. They can also be used in preventative maintenance practices to keep fuel tanks clean, or as a servicing unit to clean up fuel tanks that have become contaminated with rain, sea water, dirt, rust, and microbial growth.
Racor Filter Carts are the ideal field service unit for the multitude of generator sets equipped with integral base tanks or day tanks, where fuel has been stored long-term and may have degraded from water and particulate contamination.
