How Petroleum Contractors And Oil Companies Can Save Money By Utilizing Fuel Fix?
Fuel fix uses an air operated mobile fuel polishing system that is safe for all fuels such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol blends, AV gas and jet fuel. Many fuel contaminants are heavier than fuel and settle at the bottom of the tank. To remove this contamination, it is best to remove the emulsified water and filter the contents in the lower 5% to 15% of the tank. This process will keep the contaminated fuel from mixing with the clean fuel.
How does fuel fix save petroleum contractors and oil companies money? Fuel fix uses a polishing system that will clean the contaminated fuel without the loss of product. This ultimately saves you time and money. Providing clean fuel to consumers is an essential service. If a consumer has a negative experience dispensing contaminated fuel into their vehicle, loss of business is imminent. Are your customers complaining of slow fuel dispenser nozzles? This usually means clogged filters that is a direct indicator that there is moisture in the fuel storage tank. Moisture causes microbe growth in diesel or phase separation in E – 10.
Ethanol blended gasoline will phase separate when water is present. Most water contamination is due to condensation with temperature change and humidity. When the fuel reaches a saturation point the ethanol and water will phase separate forming distinct layers at the bottom of the bulk fuel storage tank.
Why is fuel polishing a benefit to a fuel retailer?
- Reducing customer complaints and liabilities is a motivator to polish the fuel.
- Service programs with Fuel Fix mobile systems all but eliminate slow flowing dispenser nozzles. Our proprietary technology and equipment can remove the filter clogging moisture and bacteria from fuel storage tanks reducing the need to change dispenser filters by as much as 80%.
- Fuel polishing will eliminate downtime of sales. Properly polished fuel in bulk storage tanks experience less downtime than non-serviced tanks that are inevitably contaminated with water.
- Emergency service calls addressing a fuel contamination problem is expensive. Many times emergency service calls will use vacuum service trucks to remove the tank bottom water. A vacuum truck without fuel/water separators will lose 300 to 400 gallons of product along with the water removal. This inevitably cuts into profits and your bottom line as a fuel retailer.
Fuel fix offers maintenance programs keeping your dispensers running smoothly and providing clean product to the consumer. Water contamination is the root of the problem. Water is the cause of the problem. When water is removed, bacteria, fungus or phase separation will be minimized.
