Frequently Asked Questions

What is diesel fuel polishing, and why is it important?

Diesel fuel polishing is the process of removing water, sludge, and contaminants from diesel fuel without removing it from the tank. It helps maintain fuel quality, prevent engine problems, and extend the life of your equipment.

How do I know if my fuel needs polishing?

If you’re experiencing clogged filters, engine hesitation, smoke, or unreliable generator startup, it may be due to dirty or degraded fuel. A fuel test can confirm contamination levels.

How often should I polish my diesel fuel?

Fuel polishing is typically recommended once a year, or more frequently for critical equipment like generators in hospitals, data centers, or construction sites.

What’s the difference between fuel polishing and tank cleaning?

Fuel polishing cleans the fuel itself, while tank cleaning removes built-up sludge, water, and debris from the inside of the fuel tank. Both services are often performed together for best results.

Can you polish fuel without emptying the tank?

Yes, our process allows us to clean and restore fuel quality without removing it from the tank, minimizing downtime and saving you fuel replacement costs.

Will fuel polishing fix clogged filters or injector issues?

Fuel polishing helps prevent future clogs by removing contaminants, but severely clogged filters or damaged injectors may need to be replaced.

Is fuel polishing only for generators?

No, fuel polishing is beneficial for any diesel storage system, including fleets, marine vessels, farming equipment, and emergency backup generators.

How long does fuel polishing take?

Most jobs take 3 to 6 hours, depending on the tank size, fuel condition, and the level of contamination.

Do I need to be present during the service?

No. We can coordinate access and service times that work for you. Our trained technicians handle the process start to finish with minimal disruption.

Do you provide fuel testing or analysis before and after polishing?

Yes. We offer fuel testing to identify contamination levels before polishing, and can provide post-service test results to show improved fuel quality.
