Fuel contamination

Diesel fuel is composed of long chained hydrocarbon molecules and is prone to changes due to its nature as an organic fluid. Chemical reactions and micro organisms create the formation of larger particles that cause poor combustion and deposits.

Main reasons for fuel contamination:

• Most tank sludge is caused by clustering. Chemical reactions cause the hydrocarbon molecules to cluster and grow in size. The fuel becomes cloudy resulting in inefficient combustion as the individual molecules can’t get enough oxygen during the ignition process.

• Water in the tank (mainly condensation caused by temperature differences) creates the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, yeast and algae on the barrier layer between water and fuel. These micro organisms and their excrements become a dark slimy deposit. Bacteria can form quickly. In perfect conditions, they multiply every 20 minutes. Micro-organisms and their excrements clog filters and fuel lines. In extreme cases, this will cause blockages of the entire fuel system and engine breakdown.

Negative results of fuel contamination:

• Higher fuel consumption

• Higher emissions – especially carbon (soot)

• Combustion residues

• Damage to valves, valve seat inserts, fuel injection pumps and injection nozzles

• Increased carbon content in the lube oil

• Formation of tank sludge

• Shorter lifespan of filters

micfil ultrafine filters for fuel

CLEAN FUEL PROTECTS INJECTION NOZZLES AND INJECTION PUMPS

With a filter performance down to 0.5 μm and the ability to absorb moisture the micfil ultrafine filter offers a much better filtration than standard fuel filters. Damage to injection pumps and nozzles can be avoided. The flow rate capacity per micfil ultrafine filters are:

AL100: 220 l/h

AL150: 350 l/h

AL300: 700 l/h

STc100: 220 l/h

STc150: 350 l/h

STc300: 700 l/h

Installation of the micfil ultrafine filter is carried out in accordance with individual requirements:

• Between the fuel feed pump and the standard fuel filter

• Between the main tank and the day tank

• As a separate fuel maintenance system with a fuel feed pump

Excellent filter performance of the micfil ultrafine filters becomes obvious with heavily contaminated fuel. A fuel analysis with a particle count shows the following results:

Standard	Particle size/Amount	without a micfil filter	with a micfil filter
ISO 4406	> 2 μm in 1 ml	28,177	204
NAS 1638	> 5 μm in 100 ml	1,523,447	18,113
