Water is widely regarded as the #1 enemy of diesel systems. Even small amounts—especially free water—trigger a destructive chain reaction that affects tanks, fuel lines, pumps, injectors, and the engine ...
A fuel test report from a laboratory provides critical information about the quality and suitability of fuel for various applications. Understanding this report is essential for making informed decisions regarding fuel usage, storage, and maintenance. Here’s a detailed guide on how to read and interpret a fuel test ...
Effective fuel filtration systems are crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of engines, whether in vehicles, machinery, or industrial equipment. These systems work by removing contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the engine, thereby preventing damage and ensuring optimal operation. Here’s an overview of the science behind how they ...
Bacteria found in diesel fuel primarily belong to two main types: aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can thrive in the water that accumulates in fuel storage tanks and fuel systems, especially when there’s a lack of proper maintenance or when the fuel is ...
If the waste stream has a high enough organic content to give it fuel value, it may be destroyed in a liquid burning incinerator. There is a broad class of wastes that lie between these options – too heavily contaminated for bug pond treatment yet too high in water to fuel an incinerator. The haz waste industry has ...
Fuel Testing Process for Regulatory Compliance Sampling: Fuel samples are collected from storage tanks, distribution points, or supply chains following established protocols to ensure representative samples. Proper sample collection techniques help ensure accurate testing results. Accredited Laboratory Testing: The collected fuel samples are sent to accredited laboratories equipped with ...
Failure to act Fuel and tank cleaning involves finding cleaning techniques that limit environmental impact, support safer working practices - at the lowest possible cost. This process can often be seen as an afterthought, a bolt on to overall operations, however the commercial value that can be gained with the right planning and preparation can be significant. Like many things planning and ...

We always should assume that the tank has some amount of water on the bottom. You made a trip in rough water and it has clouded the fuel during the ...
For some industries, a hazardous environment borescope is vital to conducting safe inspections. This guide covers the basics of these tools and why they’re worth the investment. When an inspection calls for a look inside a hazardous environment, opt for an industrial borescope that can take the heat. Whether affected by heat, pollutants or toxic gases, hazardous environments are not ...
At 34°F, you begin to see the start of the gelling process and fuel starts to get cloudy. By 15°F, it gets worse and full on gelling has got you, which will block filters and stop you on the ...
The Oil Skimmers, Inc., Model 6V Vapor Hood Oil Recovery System is helping the fuel distribution industry improve the efficiency of oil/water separators and reduce costs associated with frequent “pump ...
Instead, these failures could be traced to diesel fuel instability. As diesel fuel ages and is exposed to air, water, and other factors, its heavy-end asphaltene content will become unstable and start to drop out of the fuel. ...

Our mission at Spectro Scientific is to enable our customers to always make confident, knowledge-based decisions about their valuable assets and machinery. Whether you are testing motor oil, hydraulic fluid, fuel or coolant, we want to give you the information you need to make these ...
The EPA has released the results of the largest survey to-date on corrosion levels in underground storage tanks (USTs) containing diesel fuel -- and the results are staggering. The research showed that 83 percent of the USTs studied exhibit moderate to severe corrosion. Worse, only 25 percent of the owners of those tanks with corrosion were aware of it prior to the study. That, according to ...
The Intensifier of Technological Process (or ABC-100) can be successfully applied at the fuel industry for liquid hydrocarbon fuels modification by means of water. ...
PEPSI Guatemala Fuel: Diesel Machine/Type: Truck/Motor Test: Fuel Efficiency and Maintenance OBJECTIVE Evaluation of Xp³ for Diesel’s effectiveness in transport units Nos. 950 y 945. Fuel consumption history, oil analysis, and injectors were checked before Xp³ was added. Oil analyses were conducted after 5,352 km, with and without Xp³. In addition, a detail record of fuel ...
The Oil Skimmers, Inc., Model 6V Vapor Hood Oil Recovery System is helping the fuel distribution industry improve the efficiency of oil/water separators and reduce cos t s as sociated with frequent "pump outs." PROBLEM: Small fuel spills are a frequent occurrence in loading areas when hose connections are made and released from a bulk tanker. The fuel flows to an oil/water separator where it ...
A modern diesel engine consumes only a small portion of the fuel it draws, the rest of which circulates back to the tank. Fuel water separators help in reducing the water content by separating water from the fuel in every cycle. ...
The Abanaki PetroXtractor® -Well Oil Skimmer, used for the removal of oil, fuel, and other floating hydrocarbons from water, where access is limited, was recently evaluated by BJAMM Environmental, Inc. of Canal Fulton, Ohio. ...
In current practice, spent fuel is most commonly stored in a special basin of distilled or demineralised water for a required time period to reduce the amount of heat generated by radioactive decay to a level that can permit reprocessing. The processes taking place inside the spent fuel induce complex processes in the storage basin. The loss of water from the storage basin by means of ...
