Portable Diesel Fuel Tank Cleaning Unit

Diesel Fuel Tank Cleaning Solution-Just Clean Fuel!

hese Portable Tank Cleaning Units are portable dirt and water removal systems for use in both above and below ground storage tanks. It is designed specifically to remove water and other contaminates common to stored diesel fuel. This cart mounted system has it’s own self priming fuel pump with a UL approved motor and hoses. This PTCU unit fits thru doorways, up stairways and can be used from rooftops to shipyards or marinas. Portable and light enough for one person to handle and operate. Roll it up to the tank and put it to work and walk away. It can run unattended.

Move it from tank to tank or move it from boat to boat. It works independent of your existing fuel delivery system. No MUSS No FUSS. Set it up and let it run…all it gives you is CLEANER FUEL. This system works on a dialysis basis. When it’s running it is constantly removing a little bit of dirt and water from a lot of fuel. Get bad fuel often? Run it more often…..it’s a simple simple separator system.

When you have VERY dirty tanks that might contain sludge it’s probably worthwhile to equip the PTCU with the optional bag filter (see first phoyo below) to hold more junk. On big tanks for overall cleaning and breaking up of settled sludge oversizing the unit so that the clean fuel going back is actually washing-scrubbing-agitating the settled sludge breaking it up some and getting it loosened up enough to be picked up by the PTCU’s pump suction.

All you need to be able to clean out the tank and clean up the diesel fuel is access thru at least a 2” pipe into the tank. Drop the hose down that opening and you’re in business with this portable setup that can serve one or a dozen tanks.

Advantages of the Fuel Purifier

There are many advantages and benefits to the owner and operator with the installation of a Fuel Purifier. These advantages include the following:

ENGINE BENEFITS

Eliminates all water from the fuel system, thus avoiding time consuming break downs while preventing the formation of damaging sulfuric acid.

Removes all solid particles from the fuel system, including oxides, dirt, rubbish, and all other impurities with a density greater than that of the fuel itself.

Preheats the paraffin contained in all fuel, providing superior lubrication of the entire fuel system including the injector pump, injectors and cylinder walls (heater-optional part).

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Reduces down time.

Extends the life of the injection pump and the injectors.

Extends the life of the primary filter.

Protects and extends the life of the engine.

No internal or external parts requiring service or replacement.

ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS

Increases the operating life of fuel filters.

The major component of fuel filters is paper. Use of TheFuelPurifier results in fewer trees being cut each year.

Reduction in land fill due to fewer fuel filter replacement.

Providing fuel that is free of water and suspended particulates is the first step in exhaust emissions control.

Significant improvement in exhaust emissions. Tests on TheFuelPurifier show that smoke emissions were reduced by 17.3%, carbon monoxide emissions by 10.4%, and nitrogen oxides by 5.9%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Concerning the Separator Systems Fuel Purifiers

Exactly what is the Fuel Purifier?

TheFuelPurifier is, by definition of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), a combination Primary Fuel Filter and Fuel / Water Separator. It removes up to 95 percent of solid contaminants (down to approximately 10 microns) and 98 percent visible water, including emulsified water that may be in the fuel.TheFuelPurifier, depending upon the model, typically has six to ten times the contaminant storage capacity of other combination primary fuel filter / water separator products on the market. The oversize storage reservoir capacity is particularly important when you do get an occasional load of contaminated fuel.

How does TheFuelPurifier work?

Unlike most other type combination Primary Fuel Filter, Fuel / Water Separator products,TheFuelPurifier product is not a spin-on type canister or a replaceable cartridge type unit. In contrast, the only moving item inside the Skimoil product is the fuel itself. The Skimoil product works on a simple centrifugal principle that swirls the fuel from the top to the bottom of the unit, where solid contaminants and water stay until drained. No canisters or messy cartridges to replace, no screens requiring cleaning or replacement. There are no internal parts that will ever require replacement. How’s that for “maintenance-free?” TheFuelPurifieralso extends the life of the fuel filtration system provided by the engine manufacturer by removing algae, oxides, dirt, dust and prevents the formation of harmful sulfuric acid in the fuel. YES, TheFuelPurifier helps clean the air!

"This isn’t important, I don't have fuel problems."

Don’t kid yourself. Water is continually being formed in all fuel storage tanks from condensation. This process goes on day and night. If the tank is steel, this also sets up the possibility of rust contamination. As processed fuel is transferred in the marketing system, it can pass through as many as eight or ten different tanks before it finally reaches your vehicle. In some of these transfers, it may be filtered in some manner, often it is not filtered. Once it reaches its final destination, your vehicle tank, what are you getting? And don’t forget, condensation is still forming water in your tank!

"New Engines today have good filtration systems."

True. They also demand ONLY the Highest Quality Fuel entering the cylinders. Fuel pressures today are extremely high. For example, Bosch mechanical type fuel pumps have pressures set as high as 17,000 PSI. HEUI type Unit Injector Systems used by Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel and Navistar in their electronically controlled engines have fuel pressures as high as 28,000 PSI. As the fuel is transferred from the tank to the engine, you have but a single opportunity to catch and hold any and all contaminants. With these types of pressures, the smallest particle of water or solid contaminant can do a lot of very expensive damage in a millisecond. A lot more than the cost of TheFuelPurifier!!!
