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 reliability 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, fouling 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, biodiesel, 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 assistant 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.

Two Types of Racor Filter Carts to Choose From:

The FC-10-01 CLEANDiesel Filter Caddys are field service, job-site maintenance tools used to clean fuel in long-term storage in small fuel tanks. Typical applications are generator base tanks, generator day tanks, and small bulk storage tanks to 2,000 gallons. Racor Filter Caddys are fully portable and self-contained. They include the FBO-14 fuel filter, which does not require any tools for filter changeouts and offers many replacement filter options for any application. They are easily moved at the job-site by one person. The included 10 gpm (37.9 lpm) pump and filter system is built into a wheeled enclosure. It includes a 40 mesh strainer and 5 micron water coalescing filter, along with a control panel featuring water detection, filter gauge and alarm.

The FC-20-1-120V and FC-20-1-120V-KIT heavy duty Fuel Polishing Carts processes fuel up to 20 gpm (76 lpm) and have 1” cam-lock fittings for easy connections. The all aluminum open frame construction keeps it light for mobility purposes, while being durable and corrosion resistant for many years of operation. The Fuel Polishing Cart includes the FBO-14 fuel filter, which does not require any tools for filter changeouts and offers many replacement filter options for any application. This portable unit is a cost effective way to filter diesel, jet fuels, mixtures of biodiesel, and other petroleum hydrocarbon fluids in storage or transport. This filter cart polishes, cleans up, and recycles old or contaminated fuel. It 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.
