Heavy equipment poses it’s own special diesel fuel issues. The equipment can sit idle for week or months with out the fuel being treated. The fuel continues to collect moisture from the expansion and cooling of the fuel. Sludge forms on the tank bottom because of microbe activity and re-polymerization. When the engine is started, the fuel is
stirred up from movement and the fuel being returned from the engine. This contaminated fuel immediately finds its way to the filters and can clog filters very quickly. Moisture laded fuel can find its way to the fuel pumps and injectors causing extensive damage. Dirt and dust is often present during refueling so added strain is put on the filters.
Here are the issues:
- Prior to delivery to the equipment, the fuel may be stored in a contaminated tank
- The fuel tank are prone to condensation after shutdown
- Dirt in the fuel tank is constantly clogging the filters
- Sooty exhaust
- High fuel consumption
- Poor injector reliability
- Low power
- Difficult cold starts
Fortunately the solutions are easy.
