Fuel Maintenance

Professional Diesel Fuel Maintenance

Any industry that relies on diesel fuel for its emergency power system wants to keep its fuel tank and engine systems running smoothly. Therefore, regular professional diesel fuel maintenance is a must. This is especially true for stored fuel. And after the fuel has been filtered and cleaned, you want to keep it that way. Hence, having a scheduled periodic servicing is the best way to go. 


When diesel fuel is stored for more than a year, it’s quality deteriorates. That’s because of the accumulated fuel contaminants due to oxidation. Contaminated fuel has a high potential for causing engine failure. Meanwhile, high capacity fuel tanks that are most often used by different industries need periodic draining and fresh fuel replacement. If draining isn’t an option to prevent stoppage on operations, fuel polishing is highly recommended to clean the stored fuel.

Fuel polishing is a process that involves removing water, debris, and other contaminants from diesel fuel to ensure that it meets the required specifications for use in emergency generators. Healthcare centers and hospitals rely heavily on backup power to ensure that critical medical equipment and services remain operational in the event of a power outage. Therefore, fuel polishing is essential to ensure that the fuel supply for emergency generators is clean and reliable. ASTM D975 is a standard specification for diesel fuel oils used in various types of diesel engines. This standard provides requirements for fuel properties such as viscosity, flash point, and sulfur content. It also specifies maximum limits for contaminants such as water and particulate matter. Compliance with this standard is essential to ensure that diesel fuel used in emergency generators meets the necessary quality and performance requirements. Contaminated fuel can cause significant problems for emergency generators. Water and particulate matter can clog fuel filters, leading to engine failure. Additionally, microbial growth can occur in fuel tanks, causing further contamination and potentially damaging the fuel system. Fuel polishing involves removing contaminants from the fuel supply by circulating it through a filtration system. The process typically involves several stages of filtration, including coarse filters to remove large particles and water separators to remove water. Finally, fine filters are used to remove smaller particles and ensure that the fuel meets the required specifications. For health care centers and hospitals, it is important to ensure that fuel polishing is carried out regularly and that fuel is tested for compliance with ASTM D975. Regular fuel testing can identify any contaminants or quality issues early on, allowing corrective action to be taken before an emergency situation arises. In conclusion, fuel polishing is an essential process for health care centers and hospitals to safeguard their emergency generators. Compliance with ASTM D975 ensures that diesel fuel used in emergency generators meets the necessary quality and performance requirements. Regular fuel testing and maintenance can help identify and address potential issues before they become critical problems. By taking these steps, health care centers and hospitals can ensure that their backup power systems remain reliable and operational in the event of a power outage.

Data centers are crucial for the functioning of our digital world. They store, process, and distribute the vast amounts of data that we rely on every day. However, these facilities are only as reliable as the equipment they use, and the fuel that powers that equipment. Fuel quality is an essential aspect of data center operation, and fuel polishing is a critical component of ensuring that fuel remains clean and usable.
