PURPOSE
Diesel Cleanser – Water Eradicator is a unique fuel treatment that dissolves water in fuel permanently at a molecular level, severing the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atoms, thus eradicating the water, while continuing to target any further water added to the treated diesel fuel. Read more

Fuel Quality Directive Gas Oil Requirements
Introduction
EU Directive 2009/30/EC introduced a requirement that, from 1st January 2011, all gas oil (commonly known in the UK as ‘red diesel’) marketed for use in “non-road mobile machinery (NRMM)” i.e.” off-road equipment”, tractors and recreational craft must contain no more than 10 milligrams of sulphur per kilogram of fuel (virtually ‘sulphur free’). NRMM includes some agricultural equipment, forestry equipment, construction equipment, forklifts, portable generators, railway engines, and inland waterway vessels. In the case of gas oil for use in railway vehicles the introduction of sulphur free gas oil will be one year later (1st January 2012).
Diesel Fuel Storage and Transfer
The process of storing fuel and transferring fuel from the storage tanks to the fuel tank of a piece of equipment is a major source of fuel contamination. Connections, hoses, pumps, filters and the delivery system all have effects on the fuel. Between the storage tank and the fuel tank of a piece of equipment, there will be any number of hoses and piping. Damage to and poor maintenance of these hoses and pipes leave opportunities for foreign material to enter the fuel.
Diesel Fuel Contaminants
The internal components of modern injectors are often extremely small and very susceptible to wear or sticking due to particles and other kinds of contamination. Wear of internal parts of the fuel system will decrease the life of the components and may even cause malfunctions that could result in severe damage to the other engine components.
What is a Micron?
The unwanted particles found in today’s fuels are measured in microns. A micron is a unit of linear measure in the metric system used to measure distance from one point to another. The particles and contaminants that we are trying to filter out are far smaller than can be seen with the naked eye, magnifying glass or even a low powered microscope. A micron rating for a fuel filter is a generalized way of quantifying the ability of the filter’s media to remove contaminants of a particular size.
The Impact Of Fuel Quality For Off-Highway Engines
High-Quality Fuel Is Required. Every™ Engine.
The three-number coding system 18/16/13 corresponds to the number of particles of a size greater than 4, 6 and 14 microns per milliliter of fuel, respectively. A micron is the unit of measurement assigned to the size of unwanted particles in fuel. Particles 4 and 6 microns are so small they are impossible to see with the human eye.
The storage life of Diesel and Gasoline
The storage life of Diesel and Gasoline was historically measured in years not months like it is now. Currently there is growing is evidence to indicate that after six months of storage there is an increased incidence of contaminants found in the fuel and a significant decrease in quality. This has serious implications for any machinery or equipment receiving this fuel as well as the storage tank it is stored in. Read more
Preventive Maintenance Is Critical To Dependable Standby Generators
Standby generators should be regularly serviced by, and under a 24/7 service agreement with, a qualified local service organization. Preventive maintenance (PM) service must be performed on schedule. Even OEM and qualified service organizations can become lax about PMs; it’s up to the owner to ensure that these contractual requirements are performed or to hold the service organization accountable.
