WHY YOU NEED TO WASH YOUR DIESEL TANK

Microbes in Diesel Tanks if Left unattended, fuel in storage tanks can sometimes develop a dirty slime at the fuel/water interface. Apart from being unsightly it can block tank strainers and fuel filters. If left unattended it can spoil the fuel and contribute to tank corrosion.


WHAT IS IT?

Microbes in Diesel Tanks are mainly a fungal growth. Fuel is its main food source; it prefers kerosene or automotive diesel fuel to petrol. It is often described as looking like a "chocolate mousse". When the conditions are right, growth will occur at the fuel/water interface. Large mats of slime can form quickly and block filters. Reduced fuel stability and corrosion can also occur. The most prevalent fungus that grows in fuel is Cladosporium Resinae. Commonly called "clad" it caused widespread problems in the aviation industry before it was recognized and controlled.


WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

Fungi are natural soil inhabitants. Their spores, which are like very small seeds, easily become airborne and all fuels, will contain some. Spores by themselves cause no problems, but when they germinate and grow the problems begin.


WHAT CONDITIONS PROMOTE THEIR GROWTH?

Essentials - water

- Food source; a suitable fuel

- correct temperature range (10°C - 40°C)

If any of the above is absent the spores will remain dormant until suitable conditions are present.

Petrol is not a good food source; its composition is rarely suitable and lead when present, acts as a poison.


CONTROL

The key to fungal control is removal of water. The low points of tanks and pipework must be drained regularly. If all water is removed one of the essential conditions is absent and fungi cannot grow.

There are several options available to treat fungus, once it has been confirmed that this is the problem.

One option is to clean the tank thoroughly, preferably by using our machines that doesn’t require you to drain the diesel first and preventing a recurrence of the problem.

Alternatively, treatment with a biocide may be all that is required. A biocide should only be added to a fuel tank after any free water and sludge has been drained off.

If fungal contamination is suspected, samples can be tested. It is important to draw samples from the fuel/water interface and the tank bottoms.

 Diesel fuel cleanliness refers to the absence of sludge, water and particulate contamination. This characteristic is significant because of the close tolerances within injector nozzles


TANK BOTTOMS

Water, rust and dirt accumulate in the bottom of storage tanks. With time, the amount of water and sediment may reach such a level that it is drawn from the tank and dispensed into a Generator. To stop this happening, tanks must be dewatered periodically; using our modern Diesel Tank washing and Diesel purification equipment.


OXIDATION PRODUCTS

If automotive diesel fuel is stored for very long periods, it can begin to oxidize. Oxidation occurs naturally with all fuels, and results in the formation of dark gummy deposits and sediment. It can be minimized by:

1. Keeping the fuel cool

2. Reducing its exposure to air

3. Only storing the fuel for short periods

4. Periodic Tank washing using modern equipment that doesn’t require you to drain the diesel before cleaning

5. Avoiding contact with copper and zinc containing metals e.g. copper pipes that have not been tinned and galvanized pipes and tanks

COMMON DIESEL FUEL PROBLEMS (PART1)

This is the first in a series of guides designed to help in resolving fuel problems.
DIESEL ENGINES - LACK OF POWER AND HARD STARTING
These are signs that not enough fuel is getting through to the engine to provide the required power from combustion. This indicates a partial blockage of the fuel system. The most likely place for a blockage is at the main fuel filter, situated on the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine. The fuel filter is a bowl containing a disposable cartridge made of corrugated paper designed to remove dirt particles greater than 10 micron in diameter. Some filters will also remove water which is collected in a trap and must be drained at regular intervals.
The quickest way to resolve the problem is to get a sample of the fuel from the fuel tank before the filter in a clean glass jar and look at it in a good light. If the fuel is clear and bright then changing the fuel filter should fix the problem. If the fuel is hazy or has particles floating in it, it will block filters and it should be replaced before the filter is changed.
NOTE Clear and bright means that the fuel contains no visible water drops or particulates and is free of haze or cloudiness. The filter bowl itself often contains water drops and dirt, this is normal and would not usually cause filter blockage unless there was too much.
The common causes of filter blockage are:-
SUSPENDED WATER
Suspended water appears as a haziness in the fuel and is normally a cold season problem. When diesel fuel cools down during storage dissolved water will be released as small droplets. If the droplets do not drop to the bottom they will form a haze. This can seen on cold mornings after overnight storage and it will disappear when the fuel warms up. Generally seen as a greasy emulsion on blocked filters which disappears when the filter is dried. This problem can be resolved by ensuring that any settled water is drained from the tank each morning.
SUSPENDED PARTICULATE MATTER
Dirt, rust or oxidised fuel may form a fine suspension of brown or red particles, causing a greasy black deposit on the fuel filter. Laboratory analysis of the filter and fuel may be required to establish the cause. Resolution of the problem may require change of fuel and/or improved fuel storage management
WAX
Under cold conditions wax can be seen as a light yellow suspension in the fuel. When the fuel is cooled below the temperature at which the wax comes out of solution (cloud point) it can block filters by forming a yellow waxy deposit. This is a result of using the incorrect fuel for the season or region, eg. using summer grade ADF in winter or bringing an ADF from warmer areas to a colder area during winter. The problem can be fixed by waiting for the fuel to warm up and changing the filter or by lowering the cloud point by the addition of up to 30% of heating oil to the fuel. To help prevent waxing problems you should always ensure that all fuel is changed over to fresh fuel by May at the latest. There is a two month lead time in the distribution of the fuel to ensure that all fuel available by May is winter grade for the cold period between the start of May and the end of July.
FUNGAL CONTAMINATION
Fungal contamination is a symptom of poor water draining. It is normally associated with long standing free water, hazy fuel, suspended water and dirt. Fungals are detected as a black/brown chocolate mousse blocking filters. Laboratory analysis of the filter and fuel may be required to confirm that active fungal growth is present. Fixing this problem will require changing of filters, frequent and regular draining of water, slime, sediment and hazy fuel from all storage tanks. Serious contamination may require thorough tank cleaning and treatment with a biocide. Normally a warm season problem. Prevention is by frequent and regular draining of all water.
ADDITIVES
Sometimes customers treat fuels with additives, if they are not mixed with the fuel correctly then they may block filters. The appearance of the filters and contents of the filter bowl will depend on the additive used. Sometimes the additive will discolour water in the filter bowl so it looks like fuel. Combustion improvers may look waxy. The first use of detergent additives will probably carry rust and dirt on to the filter. The problem is usually fixed by changing the filter after finding out what additives are used.
NOTE
A problem with one truck is indicative of a problem with fuel on the trucks' tank. Problems with a number of trucks indicates a problem in the main storage tank and investigations should concentrate on that tank.

Diesel Fuel Problems and solution

What is diesel fuel contamination? Diesel fuel problems generally occur over time mostly due to lack of use of the fuel. Tanks that sit with fuel like in generator or marine applications usually have the most problems. Many forms of problems can develop over the life of fuel as it gets older it will develop to a point where it can cause major problems for your engine.
 Mostly Contamination of the diesel is by water and/or dirt entering the fuel due to incorrect handling. You should take good care that the tank caps, fuel dispensing fillers and hoses should be kept free of contamination to reduce the chance of contamination entering the system. You should also remove i.e. drain off water from storage tanks and fuel filter bowls on a regular basis. Using our system When you get water into fuel rust from the tanks will dislodge from the walls and block filters very easily; the other problem associated with water entry is Algae and Bacteria.
Water is the catalyst that will allow these living organisms to grow and multiply in diesel fuel tanks. There is no way to keep water out of fuel tanks; the tank must be vented to atmosphere which is normal. When the day turns from night to day the cooler temperatures will cause water to form “condensate” on the inner walls of tanks. This water then simply drips into the fuel and contaminates your system. Keeping fuel tanks full can help to reduce this effect. Other than damage to engine fuel parts like injectors and fuel pumps you can also have engines that smoke, hard to start and have low power due to poor quality fuel. What could be worse than dirty diesel fuel stopping a power generator from working in a critical power outage?
Joseto Global services is a Tank cleaning and diesel purification  Company servicing every sector of the Nigeria economy, Our Tank cleaning and diesel purification services is focused on the concerns of those organizations who uses Diesel Generator plants as a source of power supply to  drive enterprise value and deliver improved performance.
Our exclusive products and services are only for the most advanced and pre-qualified organizations like yours to ensure that you get the most out of Diesel Generator.

THE REASON FOR A CLEAN DIESEL FUEL FOR GEN SET

All diesel engines are exposed to problems when they are supplied poor quality fuel. Today, it is common for purchasers to buy fuel that's contaminated up to 20 percent by water from condensation or by particulates from inadequate transportation and storage. Such contamination affects all diesel-powered equipment Even if the fuel is run through the engine regularly the stored fuel in the fuel tank is sitting and degrading. Any tank that holds diesel fuel should be tested and put on a regular maintenance program. Fuel management programs focus on extending the life of diesel fuel during storage and increasing reliability of equipment. As part of a good maintenance program owners and facility operators should adopt a regular schedule of diesel fuel testing to proactively detect problems and correct them before there is an issue. Owners of diesel equipment would be amazed at what’s in there tank, the facts are if you take a fuel sample from a diesel tank you will find some form of contamination in about 90% of tests.
Joseto Global services Ltd been the most trusted name in diesel fuel filtration/polishing & diesel fuel cleaning services, also known for diesel generator fuel cleaning & generator maintenance provides solutions for stored diesel generator fuel cleaning, fuel polishing, fuel filter to clean fuel, fuel contamination, fuel filtration & generator maintenance services along with quality bulk-stored diesel fuel filter & maintenance systems. The Fuel Purification System is a self-contained fuel quality maintenance system developed for stored diesel and biodiesel fuels. The system effectively removes water and solids to 2 microns, insuring the availability of clean, dry, contaminant-free fuel for standby diesel generators and other fuel storage facilities. By maintaining clean, dry fuel, the Fuel Purification System eliminates the need for biocides and chemical additives, resulting in additional savings and ensuring quick starts and trouble-free operation of your engines. The Fuel Purification Systems can service tanks of any capacity and sizes Fuel Purification uses a vacuum system rather than pressure to clean the fuel. This has significant cost and efficiency advantages when compared to alternative ways to ensure your bulk stored diesel fuel stays clean all the time.
Diesel fuel is the blood of your engine & over time your fuel can become infected with items like algae or water can make its way into your tank due to condensation. When you get water in your fuel this can lead to rust in tanks also if this water makes its way to your fuel pump or injectors you can have expensive damage repair bills. Why wait for these disasters to unfold? Not only will you have the cost for the repairs you will have the inconvenience of your vehicle or equipment out of service for maybe weeks. People with power generators & marine equipment are very susceptible to diesel fuel problems due to the lack of use of the fuel; ie not being used enough. One way to keep a check on potential diesel fuel problems is to carry out a regular six monthly fuel maintenance in order to be sure that your fuel is in good operating condition; ensure its good to go when you need it the most.
