Fuel Polishing

Whether you need to utilize our mobile fuel polishing system or are looking to install a permanent solution using an onboard fuel polishing system, making sure your diesel fuel flows cleanly to your engines is a priority for safe passage. As representatives of ESI clean fuel systems we can install and service units that provide flow volume rates up to 8 GPM for even the largest yachts.

For those who don’t have a need for an integrated fuel polishing system our mobile fuel polishing unit can meet you at the dock to clean up any tank “crud” caked in the bottom of the tank along with other contaminants in your fuel system. Our “Diesel Weasel” acts as an industrial diesel fuel vacuum cleaner that suck out your fuel from your tanks along with any debris, water, sludge and bacteria. This mixture is run through a series of filters and pumps and passes the clean fuel back into your tank.

On the whole diesel engines are rugged reliable power plants that have one obstacle they are not capable of overcoming, contaminated fuel. With fuel conservation in the forefront of everyone’s mind the fuel isn’t flowing as fast as it used to. Whether it sits longer in your tank or at the distribution point diesel is an organic product that in the right conditions will flourish creating what we inelegantly call “the crud problem”. While a fuel filter can provide protection, if the fuel in the tanks or fuel dock is allowed to sit long enough to become contaminated with any of the 12 species of algae that feed on diesel the in line filters will clog leaving you with an engine shut down. An effective onboard fuel polishing system or a visit from our mobile fuel polishing unit will give you peace of mind, particularly when the wind picks up and all that crud gets stirred up.
