Using fuel that contains water is horrible for your engine and selling fuel with water in it can lead to some very serious liability situations. Not only is water the main source of both particulate and biological fouling in tanks and dispensing systems, but it can also cause operational problems with automobile engines. There are many ways that water can get into your fuel supply and sometimes it seems to sneak right by you. It is important that you take preventative maintenance towards this problem and keep water and other contaminants out of your customers’ tanks by using water sensing fuel filters.

The Petro Clear 405W series of water sensing and particulate removing fuel filters is designed to sense both free and emulsified water while removing particulates from your fuel supply before it ends up in your customer’s tank. This inexpensive filtration system acts as your last and only line of defense against water contamination so that you can avoid the headaches and outrageous expenses that getting water in your tanks can cause.

Whether you run a large operation with many Gilbarco dispensers or are simply refueling your recreational vehicles with a Fill-Rite pump, making sure that your fuel supply is free of dirt, rust and any other kinds of gunk should be your top priority. No matter how clean you think your fuel may be, there are many different things that can sneak in and dirty up your system. One easy way to be certain that you are only dispensing clean fuel is to make sure you always have a proper working fuel filter on your pump.

As we have previously mentioned, many people see fuel filters as something they don’t need and as a simple “up sell” that companies push upon their customers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Even the largest fuel distribution companies can get water and small particles in their fuel which can end up in your tanks causing condensation to form which slowly turns into rust particles that clog up your system. The best way to make sure that you aren’t pumping contaminated fuel into your vehicles is to simply get a fuel filter. Fuel filters trap all of that unwanted garbage that is floating around so that “dirty fuel” doesn’t end up in your vehicles.

After a while, fuel filters begin to fill up with the particles that they remove. Once the particles build up too much, it slows the flow rate of your fuel and often times doesn’t capture as much of the contaminates. The amount of unwanted particles in your fuel will affect how quickly your filter becomes clogged, but replacing your fuel filters on a regular basis helps to avoid these complications.

Many people look at fuel filters either as something that they just don’t need or that they don’t want to deal with. Others often take attitudes such as thinking that their fuel is already clean enough or that just a little water in the tank won’t hurt anything.

The fact is that fuel filters act as your last line of defense against any water or junk that may have snuck into your tank before that fuel hits your engine and seriously messes things up.

Putting water into your vehicle’s tank can cause all sorts of headaches from tank corrosion to fuel-system freeze-ups during the cold winter months, not to mention that dirt and rust particulates can add even more problems. Over our next few blog entries, we will be discussing fuel filters and how they help keep your pumps and vehicles running at full capacity. So whether you have your own Fill-Rite in the backyard for your dirt bikes or you are supplying fuel with a large Gilbarco dispenser, make sure you keep reading for some great fuel filter tips.
