Fuel Shelf Life Q: How Long Can I Store Diesel Fuel?

Q: How Long Can I Store Diesel Fuel?

From: EXXON website (www.exxon.com) – Diesel Fuel – FAQ –

…..diesel fuel can be stored 6 months to 1 year ….

longer periods can be accomplished through use of periodic filtrations and addition of fuel stabilizers and biocides…

Fuel Shelf Life

Fuel Shelf Life Q: How Long Can I Store Diesel Fuel?

Excerpt from Shell-Water Management in Storage Tanks Information Handout

“…Typical issues are a result of water bottoms accumulating over a period of time in the storage tank that can lead to filter plugging and equipment corrosion along with a large amount of tank bottom material…. The entire industry has noticed this increase in filter plugging tendency… The filter can only handle a certain amount of sediments and only for a certain period of time. …”

Fuel Shelf Life Q: How Long Can I Store Diesel Fuel?

From: BP Fuel News – February 7, 2002 – ADF 1402

“As diesel gets older a fine sediment and gum forms in the diesel brought about by the reaction of diesel components with oxygen from the air.

The fine sediment and gum will block fuel filters, leading to fuel starvation and the engine stopping...”

Excerpt from Diesel Fuel Technical Review

Q: How Long Can I Store Diesel Fuel?

….those who store diesel fuel for a prolonged period, i.e., one year or longer, can take steps to maintain fuel integrity….. Add an appropriate stabilizer ….. Use a fuel quality management service to regularly test the fuel, and, as necessary, polish it…..

Install a dedicated fuel quality management system that automatically tests and purifies the fuel and injects fresh stabilizer.”

Day Tanks of 24/7 Engines Should Be Spotless

Real World Facts

• Filter changes 100 hours instead of 1000’s• Loss of RPM & Power

• Hard carbon deposits & corrosion• Premature Injection System Failures• Soot build up in Engine oil• Premature Engine Overhauls

Water, Sediment & Sludge in Tanks• Even in day tanks right after the centrifuge• Even in day tanks where the engine runs 24/7

Diesel Fuel is:

• An Organic inherently unstable fluid

• A complex mix of HC molecules

• It is Not homogenous

• Blending, additives packages, and

• Different trace elements often cause

• Compatibility issues

• Fuel Stability & Shelf life is negatively impacted by

• The implementation of ULLS and

• Adding Bio-components

ROI & Pay back“We could clearly see a visible difference in the fuel clarity, color and opacity after we installed the ALGAE-X system. Now the STS automatically comes on once a week to keep my stored fuel in good shape (see lab report)

What is remarkable is that the first time I got a new load of fuel from my “high quality” supplier I ran the STS 5000 and I clogged filters with this brand new fuel that came in ... this is why I love your system and it gives me a safe feeling looking at fuel related gen set reliability. John O.”
