What is fuel polishing?
Microbial contamination of diesel fuel occurs when water finds its way into a fuel tank as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air. Water encourages the growth of biomaterials that can clog filters and create tank sludge, known widely as ‘the diesel bug’. This kind of contamination not only accelerates tank corrosion, it can block lines and filters and significantly reduce fuel performance.
Fuel polishing is a technical cleaning process used to remove or filter microbial contamination from stored fuels. A variety of fuel polishing units remove water, any free water sediment and microbial contamination.
Did you know…
We have a dedicated laboratory for testing and analysis of fuel samples for fast turnaround. Fuels are tested to British Standard methods covering all types of contamination, including microbial activity, water content, appearance and particulates.
Fuel contamination in storage rarely happens if your fuel tank is in tip-top condition and our regular fuel checks and inspections ensures your fuel storage stay healthy.
Dormant fuels (such as for back-up power supplies) are also vulnerable to contamination and to deterioration.
