Tankbusters is the best solution for fuel cleaning

Blocked filters, reduced engine efficiency, rough running or refusal to start are all possible symptoms of diesel bug. It’s an umbrella term for the micro-organisms, such as bacteria, moulds and fungi, that live in the small margin of free water in the fuel tank. These multiply rapidly and leave a thick, slimy or waxy grey/black deposit when they die. Left untreated, the deposit can be drawn into fuel lines where it can solidify and clog fuel pumps, causing fuel starvation or blocked filters. Add to this the other contaminants, such as rust particles and general dirt, that can be lurking within the fuel tank and the result is increased wear and tear on the engine. Over time this can cause long-term damage to the fuel injectors and pump, and contribute to an increased chance of breakdowns.

We can help you to make dirty diesel bug contamination a thing of the past!  Your engine(s) will be more efficient, cleaner and more reliable.  The probability of blocked injectors will be dramatically reduced, filters will need changing less regularly. Potential cost savings are very significant and wasted time on repairs is reduced too.

Eliminate diesel bug contamination

Tankbusters Fuel Filtration equipment offers the best solution for the elimination and long-term control of diesel bug, contamination, water, rust and heavy contaminants. The fuel is drawn out of the tank and forced through a filtration device that removes water to less than 100 PPM (Parts per million) and contaminants to less than 1 micron in size. Your engine is now running as it should be and free of contamination.

Why Tankbusters?

Not all “Fuel polishing” Systems are the same.

Many systems remove much of the diesel bug itself, but leave the water and contamination behind. One spore of bacteria reproduces 260,000 spores every 6 hours and dies in around 48 hours. The bacteria lives in water that causes it to grow in the first place, any thing above 5 microns will continue to leave contamination in the fuel.

Tankbusters Fuel Filtration system removes water to 100ppm (Parts Per Million) from diesel fuel as well as “diesel bug” (Bacteria), contamination, carbon contamination and any other unwanted particles. Our systems can filter and remove particles to as low as 1 micron in diameter and so leave dirty fuel, that was dark and opaque, to clean and clear fuel.

If Contamination. Bacteria and Water is not removed (Sometimes referred to as Fuel Polishing) The the problem will come back with more – Lost Downtime and Damage to the Engine & Fuel Pump.

Tankbusters the best for polishing diesel.
