Our best mobile diesel fuel cleaning/polishing (buggy) system.

Modern Diesel has a problem

With the introduction of bio diesel things are not as straight forward as they used to be. In the old days water in diesel would over time fall to the bottom of the tank out of harms way. However this year the government have introduced a 7% bio diesel mix into ALL diesel. Unlike 100% diesel, bio diesel holds onto to water droplets and hence keeps them in suspension throughout the tank. Obviously large particles of water will become to heavy for suspension and fall to the bottom. But the smaller ones remain in suspension.

So what is the big deal?

Ok, we have explained that bio diesel holds onto water. Tiny dormant organic spores can often be found everywhere waiting for the right environment to hatch. Water is the type of place that they hatch in but like any living organism they require food. And guess what? These guys feed on diesel and hence they just love to settle down right inside your diesel tank. Just imagine having 1000 litres of beer in your house all the time!

Once they have established in the tank they propogate to form a large black snot like shape. They are very sticky and easily block filters and reduce the ID of a fuel line. This type of contamination is often referred to as Diesel Bug, Diesel Virus or Diesel Fungus. See our chemical treatment for diesel virus.

If there was ever a time where fuel cleaning was necessary it is NOW.

Filter Technical Specifications:

• 56 lpm flow rate using a self priming vane pump.
• 3 Stage filtration
  • The diesel passes through the "Filterless filter" first and most of the free standing water is removed , along with a small percentage of debris.
  • Now the diesel passes through the pump and goes from being under vacuum to pressure through to the next filter housing.
  • The next stage is to polish the fuel so that it becomes clean enough for combustion. Debris is removed down to a size of 5 microns. Free standing and emulsified water is removed at an efficiency of 99%.
• Fuel is delivered through the delivery gun.
• The unit stops pumping diesel when water has accumulated in either of the two filter housings. The pump will not start again until the water has been drained out of the filters.
• Flashing beacon to alert the user of high water level.
• 10" pneumatic wheels for site use.
• Pressure gauge to indicate filter condition.
• Powder coated frame
• 5m delivery and suction hoses
• Suction hose strainer
• 5m power cord
• Available in 110 & 240 VAC
