We have gone full steam ahead to develop a website dedicated to serving fuel related issues and solution. With all of the hype in the world we felt necessary to serve information that is acurate and timely and best of all solves your problems. The site can be found at http//:www.cleanfuelmanagement.com. If cleaning old diesel fuel or preventing a problem is on your horizon, give me a call.

| At a quick look this appears to provide a good range of services and techniques to clean contaminated fuel. However you should first minimise the chance of fuel getting dirty in the first place. Many yachts have fuel fillers located on a sidedeck; thus exposed to being awash and other dirt. When replacing my mild steel fuel tank with a plastic tank, I repositioned the fuel filler so that it is just inside a cockpit locker and therefore protected from direct exposure to the elements. Secondly provide a proper bottom drain point so that a little fuel can be drained periodically and thus get rid of any water/sediment that may have got in. My original tank had a drain mounted in the side of the tank which meant that the bottom inch or two could not be drained; thus leaving water to start diesel bug and rusting also sediment. |
