Over any given period of time, fuels in storage can develop pools of sludge, sediment and water caused by microbial contamination. This contamination can easily find its way into fuel at one of the many exchange points in its journey from source to end user.

​

Left untreated, the levels of contamination worsen to the point where damage to machinery,

pumps and engines is likely. When fuel is pumped into a tank condensation, atmospheric absorption, and a faulty tank are usually the main causes of fuel contamination.

 

Microbes find their way into fuel and cause problems as they multiply and grow.
