Summer is coming! The boating season has started and the month of June, July, and August are typically when our American neighbours show up The radio starts chirping as they travel in groups and plug up the airwaves on their way to the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound and the Broughton Archipelago. Boaters are checking their […]
For years I have been trying to sample fuel in the Condos in Vancouver. Strata councils don’t seem to know the importance of their emergency systems, Property Managers don’t know the fuel needs to be sampled as per the Fire Codes, Fire Codes pertaining to the fuel tanks attached to the Generators are ignored and […]
We offer a free fuel sampling to customers with larger tanks like property management companies, fuel stations, Works Yards etc. Many take advantage of the free service to see what condition their fuel tank is in. A surprising number do not. I always wonder why? What exactly are you afraid of? Logically you would want […]
This is a picture of the interior of a typical dirty tank. The growth on the walls is bacteria and fungus. It is important to get this sludge and contamination off the walls of the tank and it needs to be power washed using the fuel to avoid creating more waste. If you only polish […]
Straight fuel is hydrophobic; that is, it won’t blend with water, so any water that gets into the tank usually sinks to the bottom. Ethanol is hydrophilic so water that enters the tank will be absorbed by the fuel. Ethanol 10 fuel added to a tank with water in it immediately can become a whole […]
“A fuel injection pump is an incredibly precise piece of equipment. The plungers in a jerk pump are machined to within 0.00004” of the cylinder bores into which they fit. Unlike the pistons in the engine, no rings seal these plungers and while the pressures in the engine cylinders may reach 1000 psi, pressures in […]
The days of summer are gone for this year. It was a great summer for nice hot weather and the best boating season for a while. Now it’s time to winterize and make sure that if you cruising the winter season you have on board what you need. Good fuel and a clean tank is […]
Water is the most damaging contaminant found in fuel. Water destroys the lubricating properties of fuel and can quickly scour or blow injector tips and pumps. Water can freeze and stop fuel flow. Water can be present in your fuel as free water and or emulsified water. Free water gets into your fuel as storage […]
Nozzles like this one used inside a fuel tank remove bacteria, scale and other contamination growing on the inside of the tanks. There are lots of cleaning actions using the nozzles we have created. There are many nozzles in use for cleaning tanks. All the other nozzles are for use when cleaning tanks with water. […]
Good representation of chunks of bacterial contamination coming out of a fuel tank. Normally we would use a fuel-rated hose but this is just a demo to show the junk being picked up by the hose into the tank. After it comes out of the tank it goes through filters of ever-decreasing microns until the […]
