You have 60 acres left to harvest, rain is rolling in, and just when you need it most your fuel filter plugs up. You can avoid this loss of time and frustration with a simple fix at your storage tank.
Tank filters prevent plugged filters on trucks, tractors, and other diesel-powered equipment. Replacing tank filters is easy and important in preventing downtime during a critical time of year. The tank is one of the main sources for fuel contamination. Filtration at the tank helps prevent dirt, water, and organic debris from reaching your equipment’s fuel system.
The cleaner, more efficient engines produced today come with tighter tolerances and the need for smaller micron filtration. Industry-leading, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) have engineered high-pressure common rail (HPCR) engines with fuel filtration requirements as low as 2 microns. Because of this, filters can cost up to $120.00 each to replace.
We offer a 2-micron FS Bio-Power storage tank filter that retails at approximately $40.00. This filter reduces the chances of plugging the fuel filter on your equipment, while saving you maintenance dollars.
Filtering fuel with a 2-micron FS Bio-Power filter at the storage or transfer tank keeps your equipment clean. It provides insurance your equipment will keep running and avoids the additional cost of replacing expensive OEM fuel filters.
If you cannot remember the last time you replaced your tank filter, it is due for a change this fall.
