Oil Bugs
There has recently been widespread news about an increased number of diesel bug issues within Gas Oil tanks. Diesel bugs are created by condensation or outside influence getting inside the tank. These bugs create excess sludge in the bottom, which go through the filters and impact the engine performance. The bugs will decrease the fuel, decrease its performance and in the worst cases, ruin the engine.
Being on top of this situation will save you time and money. With Ford Fuels, our dedicated team can offer expert advice on how to keep your system running at its optimum.
Spotting these issues and acting early is key. The things to look out for include:
- Flow from the dispenser being clogged or slow.
- Filters on the tank or in engines need changing more regularly.
- Engines not smoothly starting or not smoothly ticking over.
Having bugs is not a foregone conclusion, however. They can be prevented by:
- Checking tanks regularly for any breaches that could compromise the fuel inside.
- Checking for any irregularities in how the fuel is performing in any equipment or vehicles.
- Using our ANTI-BUG KILL Fuel Additive to keep your tank actively protected against any bug issues (contact us to order some today).
