When it comes to your generator, we know how stressful blocked filters and damaged fuel injectors can be, especially when they are caused by diesel contaminants such as water, diesel bug and solid particles. Fuel contaminants can ultimately cause your generator engine to fail, reducing power supply to key power supply equipment. With Dale's specialist fuel conditioning programme, you can be certain that your fuel is being taken care of safely, and will aid generator functionality. Our four step fuel management system comprises Diesel Check, ClearTank fuel cleaning, Diesel Defence fuel polishing and ADV fuel stabilisation (ADV Predator and ADV Regulator), which will keep your fuel in tip top shape and your generators working efficiently, and without cause for concern.
Diesel Check Fuel Testing: Our Diesel Check Fuel Testing tests the fuel that’s in your tank to determine a diagnosis. Using the latest fuel testing technology, we take fuel samples from the whole of your fuel tank – rather than just the top and bottom of your fuel tank – to get a full picture of your fuel management, diesel fuel polishing and fuel tank needs. We’ll then provide you with a comprehensive report that’s simple to understand and includes recommendations – such as our fuel polishing system, if required. If your fuel is found to be contaminated, we’ll suggest our ClearTank fuel cleaning solution, followed by our fuel polishing system.
ClearTank Fuel Cleaning: Our ClearTank Fuel Cleaning service can remove all forms of contamination, rendering your fuel clean, dry and ready to power your generators. It removes water contamination to below 200 parts per mission as defined by the EN 590, particulate contamination so that your fuel meets the 18/16/13 cleanliness standards set by ISO 4406, and microbial contamination removing the films and bacteria collectively known as diesel bug. Therefore, our fuel cleaning system not only cleanses your fuel, but ensures it meets important industry standards too.
Because we understand that treating fuel could unsettle some of your customers and staff, when we carry out our ClearTank Fuel Cleaning service, we operate from a discretely marked van, to avoid any misinterpretation, or concern that there’s something wrong with your generators, power supply or power generation equipment.
Diesel Defence Fuel Polishing: Diesel Defence Fuel Polishing provides long term protection for your fuel by continuously removing water, microbial growth and particulates. Through single and multi-stage diesel fuel filtration, our diesel fuel polishing equipment preserves diesel fuel quality to surpass international standards and ensures your power supply equipment has the key fuel it needs to run reliably.
Diesel Fuel Sampling & Diesel Fuel Testing: To check diesel fuel cleanliness and fuel quality, we can conduct diesel fuel sampling and diesel fuel testing onsite, sending the results off to be analysed.
Diesel Fuel Treatment: Should your diesel fuel be contaminated, our fuel polishing team will work with you to determine the best possible solution for bringing your diesel fuel back to optimum condition. This could involve filtering the entire diesel fuel stock or using diesel fuel additives.
Diesel Fuel Storage & Diesel Fuel Handling: Our diesel fuel management system specialists will advise on how to reduce diesel fuel contamination through diesel fuel storage and diesel fuel handling best practice. We can advise on everything from fuel tank cleaning and fuel tank testing through to fuel tank repair and fuel tank replacement.
Diesel Fuel Maintenance: To ensure that your diesel fuel remains in prime condition throughout the year, we provide our clients with diesel fuel polishing systems which give cycled diesel fuel polishing, as well as easy access to statistics on your diesel fuel. This is all achieved through a diesel fuel polishing application which we can connect into building management systems at your business or facility. All of our fuel management systems operate as “stand alone” systems, with basic 24/7 digital timers or advanced remote control and monitoring, making them ideal for unmanned facilities too.
ADV Fuel Stabilisation: We will lastly add ADV Predator and ADV Regulator to your fuel – to keep it bug free and starve bacteria of the ingredients they need to grow. ADV Predator kills microbial activity before it blocks a polishing unit’s filters.
ADV Predator is a diesel fuel biocide that can be used as a shock treatment to protect against bacteria, yeast and moulds. It is completely soluble in petroleum fuels (including biofuels) and partially soluble in water, allowing it to target the bacteria in both the diesel and water phases.
ADV Regulator is a multi-functional diesel fuel stabiliser, specially formulated to provide long term benefits for stored diesel fuel and gas oil. As well as providing enhanced oxidation stability of diesel and inhibiting fuel deterioration, ADV Regulator also provides other benefits such as improved fuel economy, improved engine performance and reduced emissions.
Generator failure can be expensive, but diesel fuel protection doesn’t have to be. Our fuel conditioning programme comprises everything from diesel fuel testing and diesel fuel polishing through to fuel tank contamination cleaning and ADV fuel stabilisation. Our fuel management system will see your business right, as will our diesel fuel experts at Dale. Therefore, if you’re looking for fuel management, diesel fuel polishing or fuel tank protection and are located across the UK in areas including Manchester, Liverpool, London, Glasgow, Cardiff or Kent, then please contact us today to learn more about our fuel management systems and services, and how we can best provide them to you.
