Diesel Fuel Decontamination Units Give Stored Fuel Longer Life.
Diesel powered equipment, plagued with breakdowns caused by contaminated and
aged fuel, now have an option other than continually changing filters after the problem arrives. Developed by Dieselcraft Fluid Engineering of Auburn, California has a line of Strontium Ferrite "Fuel Stabilizers" that will decontaminate and stabilize the diesel fuel without the use of chemical additives. Diesel fuel producers will admit that the addition of additives, to perfectly good fuels or fuel over 28 days old may add to the blockage of fuel filters. Add water from vents or condensation and you have a breeding ground for bacteria. The misdiagnosis of the problem and the insertion of chemical additives may do more harm than good. Some additives will discolor water in the filter bowl appearing like fuel. This results in a water problem that cannot be diagnosed. Combustion improvers may create a waxy build up on fuel filters and detergent and biocides may carry dirt and rust to the filter. The Dieselcraft Fuel Stabilizers will reconstitute aged fuel as the engine is running for routine maintenance or for seasonal use. Installed between the fuel tank and primary fuel filter, the fuel that goes to the engine is treated and goes back to the tank via a return line also treated and brought back from a questionable state in a short period. Once re-stabilized, the fuel should have its life clock reset until the unit is run again. Now stabilized fuel will burn cleaner thereby producing more power, less smoke, and less carbon buildup. For further product information see the Dieselcraft web page at: http://www.dieselcraft.com or contact Product brochure can be downloaded from: http://www.dieselcraft.com/br_1.pdf Dieselcraft is currently seeking Manufactures Reps and Dealers in many areas. They should contact John T. Nightingale, Sales Manager or |

Now here is where I get lost. The process of adding anything to a liquid, gas or solid to change its composition is chemistry in one sense or another - thus is a chemical additive. Oh well...

Strontium-90 (90Sr) has a half-life of 28 years. It is a product of nuclear
fallout and presents a major health problem. Perhaps they are irradiating the fuel, killing and blasting apart the microorganisms. "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...

Umm... use a polishing system? I just don't understand why so many people think that changing filters is a problem. That's what the filter IS THERE FOR... to keep crap from getting into the injection pump, injectors, and the whole rest of the engine. When the filter needs to be changed, that means IT IS WORKING! A $3 filter element that saves a $7K engine sounds like very effective & sensible engineering to me. Doug King |

And if you have lots of crap in the tank, do as the Alaska boats do. Use a
day tank (at least that is what I think they call it). A separate small tank the big tank pumps into. Then the engine gets it's fuel from the small tank. The small tank will let the crud settle out and can be removed from the small tank. And the fuel filter gets the smaller stuff that did not settle out. Bill "DSK" wrote in message ... John T.
