The marine environment is unforgiving. A loss of power can quickly
become a disaster. The storage of diesel fuel on-board is always an
issue. The constantly changing temperature of the fuel and fuel tank is
introducing condensation continually. This moisture in the fuel promotes
microbe growth. The microbes and re-polymerization are the cause of the tank sludge. Adding a
poor quality fuel additive does nothing to eliminate the problem, and
adding alcohol damages critical engine parts.
Here are the issues associated with dirty fuel:
- Sludge in the tanks after winter lay-up
- Dirty exhaust and transom
- Rough running
- Difficult starting
- Clogging filters
- Excessive engine ware
- Sticking injectors
- Water in the separator filters
- Excessive fuel consumption
- Corroded tanks and fuel lines
Fortunately the solutions are easy:
We can come to your vessel and clean the fuel tanks and save your
existing fuel.
