The fuel supply, which includes the processing, transportation and long-term storage of diesel fuel is a critical stage that can lead to contamination and degradation of the fuel. Studies show that today’s fuel is not clean enough and only 43% (!) of all fuel distributed worldwide meets the particle concentration of 18/16/13 which should be achieved at the storage tank. Failure to meet this requirement can lead to severe fuel system component damage because the on-engine fuel filtration will not be able to accomplish the target fuel cleanliness of 12/9/6 which equates to less than 4,000 particles of 4μm © and greater.
