What Are Some Common Fuel Concerns?
Diesel fuel begins to deteriorate within months of refinement, making proactive maintenance essential. Over time, fuel absorbs moisture, leading to microbial contamination, emulsification, and sediment buildup. As contamination increases, Cetane ratings drop, reducing fuel efficiency and performance.
Without proper fuel maintenance, particulates and sludge accumulate, clogging filters, injectors, and fuel pumps. The result? Excessive smoke, poor engine performance, and even system failure. Regular fuel testing and treatment help extend fuel life, reduce costly repairs, and ensure reliable generator operation.
