Stored diesel
Fuel care starts in the tank.
Water and particles can build up while diesel sits in storage. Routine fuel sampling and maintenance help you understand its condition before the generator needs to run.
Explore fuel care
1. Draw from the tank
Stored diesel circulates from the tank into the fuel maintenance system.
2. Treat the fuel
Water separation and particle filtration help manage contamination.
3. Return & repeat
Treated fuel returns to the tank. Controls and schedules vary by model.

How fuel polishing works ↗System controls
Make fuel care part of the routine.
L series systems offer a 7 inch touchscreen and Modbus/IP communications. Discuss scheduling, monitoring, and building management integration for your facility.
Compare system controlsWater separation
Address water before it causes trouble.
Water separation helps reduce water related corrosion and conditions that support microbial growth. Separator design and automatic drain features vary by model.
Compare filtration featuresParticle filtration
Keep fine contamination in check.
Depth filtration captures particles that can clog filters and contribute to abrasive wear in pumps and injectors. The L series has a published particle removal rating down to 1 micron.
Explore the equipmentFuel return
Treated fuel returns to storage.
Fuel polishing circulates fuel through treatment equipment and back to the tank. Tank connections, piping, and the operating schedule are planned around your installation.

Why it matters
Small contaminants.
Potentially big interruptions.
Water, sediment, and fine particles can affect filters and sensitive fuel system components. Fuel care helps address those risks.
Fewer clogged filters
Help reduce the dirt and sediment reaching your generator’s filters.
Less water related trouble
Removing water helps reduce corrosion and conditions that support microbial growth.
Protection for fuel components
Fine particle filtration helps reduce abrasive wear in pumps and injectors.
Fuel care between generator runs
Automated systems make routine treatment part of your maintenance plan.

A filtration system is one part of your maintenance program. Keep following manufacturer guidance for inspections, sampling, filter changes, and tank cleaning when needed.
Filtration cannot reverse chemical degradation or guarantee that a generator will never fail.

Fuel care questions,
answered.
Why does stored generator fuel need attention?+
Diesel can collect water and particles while it sits in a tank. Contamination can clog filters, encourage corrosion, and affect pumps and injectors. Regular fuel care helps address those risks before the generator is called on.
What does a fuel polishing system do?+
It circulates diesel from the tank through treatment equipment and returns it to the tank. Water separation and particle filtration help manage contamination in the stored fuel. Controls and treatment features vary by model.
What problems can it help prevent?+
Managing contamination can help reduce clogged filters, corrosion caused by water, and abrasive wear in fuel system components. Removing water also reduces conditions that support microbial growth. Fuel care helps reduce trouble caused by contaminated fuel, while regular generator maintenance remains essential.
Does filtration replace generator or tank maintenance?+
Fuel filtration is one part of your maintenance program. Keep following the generator and fuel system manufacturers’ guidance for inspections, fuel sampling, servicing, and tank cleaning when needed. Filtration cannot restore fuel that has chemically degraded.
