Now Offering Fuel Polishing Services at Cleveland Brothers!
When disaster strikes and a standby generator is your only power source, it’s critical to have ongoing, reliable power. While routine maintenance such as load bank testing and switchgear inspections is crucial for your generator’s success, people often forget the importance of the physical source of power—fuel.
Poor Fuel Quality Can Be A Silent Killer
Fuel quality, which can be easily corrupted with contaminants such as dirt and water cause a loss of power and incomplete combustion, ultimately leading to a system failure.
Water and contaminants quickly and naturally enter your tank without any notice—due to humidity and condensation, rain, and even through a defective gasket or cap or exposed vents.
Once water and dirt enter the tank, it sinks to the bottom and collects, forming a sludge-like layer which separates the fuel from the water.
These contaminants don’t typically cause issues, as long as they remain on the bottom of the tank. But once a generator runs for an extended period of time, like during an emergency situation, the fuel begins to mix the water and contaminants with the fuel, creating a black, thick substance that clogs your filters and causes your injector to fail.
Fuel Polishing Process at Cleveland Brothers
Even with quality additives, filters, or routine check-ups to test your generator’s performance, it could still fail due to dirty fuel. That’s when fuel polishing comes into play.
