Is Fuel Polishing Really Effective?
There are hundreds of companies across the country that claim to perform effective fuel polishing services. However, not all of these companies are able to provide the service needed to properly clean your fuel tanks so that they run efficiently. Diesel Dialysis has the experience and tools necessary to complete your Delaware Valley fuel polishing project so you can focus on running your business.
What is Fuel Polishing?
So, before we delve into the question of fuel polishing being effective, we must first define this service that many companies rely on to operate efficiently. Fuel polishing is the process of cleaning diesel and other types of fuel so that sediment, microbes, and water can be removed. The more sediment that is in the tank, the less effective the equipment will be that runs on this type of fuel.
When fuel is cleaned properly it can still be used instead of having to remove it from the tank and replace it. The cost of having your fuel polished is more affordable than throwing away contaminated diesel fuel and then pumping new fuel into the tank, especially when you don’t know if the new fuel is contaminated or not.
Fuel Polishing Removes Solids
One of the most common reasons why companies contact Diesel Dialysis for fuel polishing is to remove solids from the diesel fuel. We have the tools to remove all of the solids found in the tank, including sweeping the tank to make sure there’s nothing left behind that can impact the fuel. An important thing to note is that fuel polishing will not prevent these solids from building up again. There’s nothing you can add to your tank to prevent the buildup of sediment. It’s just a natural process that occurs in fuel tanks.
Fuel Polishing Removes Water
The fuel polishing service provided by Diesel Dialysis of Cinnaminson can also remove water from the fuel tank. Water inside a fuel tank should never be ignored. Leaving water in the tank is bad for the fuel and can lead to the buildup of microbes. We install water separation filters in the tank to filter out as much water as possible so that it does not contaminate the diesel fuel.
Resolve Problems with Microbes
When you have a problem with microbes in your diesel tank, you will need more than just fuel polishing services to rectify the situation. Fuel polishing alone cannot solve this problem. Your technician will need to also conduct a biocide treatment for the tank. The biocide can help get rid of and prevent microbes from coming back. For the biocide treatment to be effective it will need to be applied as early in the fuel polishing process as possible.
So, is Fuel Polishing Effective?
The simple answer to this question is yes, fuel polishing is effective. However, you need to make sure you are working with an experienced and honest technician to get the job done right. Diesel Dialysis has the necessary tools to effectively polish the fuel in the tanks at your business. Contact us today at 856-470-7705 to schedule an appointment for service.
