Whether you are hauling freight or passengers, your engine needs reliable and clean fuel. Because refineries use harsh conditions to extract various fuels from a barrel of crude, today’s fuels are not as stable as fuels of the past. In addition, due to shortened settling times and the need to move more fuel faster, fuel and fuel systems are acquiring more water making it easier for microbial contamination. Microbial growth can spawn from pipelines and bulk shipping vessels contaminating down stream fuel storage systems.
Your first line of defense is water detection and removal which is not an easy task. To ensure your fuel system is free from microbial contamination use the respected and proven biocide
Kathon® FP 1.5. Kathon® FP 1.5 biocide can be the most cost-effective way to eliminate this problem. Routine fuel testing can detect and monitor this potential problem. FQS offers a variety of
microbial test kits that are easy to use in the field and requires no prior lab experience. Early detection and treatment can prevent costly repairs and associated problems such as system corrosion and filter plugging.
Your second line of defense is to treat your fuel with a well respected and proven multifunctional fuel stabilizer.
LTSA-35A is such an additive. Approved for use by the Army under MIL-S-53021, LTSA-35A provides you with a tool that stabilizes your fuel for the long haul.
