Modern boats are fantastic and they're significantly more effective with regards to how much fuel they use in comparison to what they once were. A single problem with this is that lots of unused fuel will occupy your fuel tank and it's at risk of contaminants. Bugs and other micro-organisms prosper in both diesel fuel and water. Worse yet is the fact that they could actually clog up your fuel filters. Our boat fuel polishing service will clean your fuel and get rid of these organisms and bugs.

Fuel polishing
So how do we actually polish and clean your boat fuel? We make use of highly-priced and specialist fuel polishing technology. Our equipment will get rid of the contents of your boats fuel tank using very fine filters. These filters will separate any dirt and microbes. Once the fuel is purified, we put the polished diesel back in your boats fuel tank.
Your fuel is polished in this three phase process:
- The first stage: First we draw your diesel out of the fuel tank. Our equipment will spin off large solids (dirt, microbes and rust). These are heavier than diesel and drop to the bottom of the collection bowl.
- Second stage: Smaller water droplets will appear at the top surface of our filter. When heavy enough, they will also drop to the bottom of the collection bowl.
- Final stage:: This is the filtration stage. The filters will repel water, remove the contaminants and thus your fuel is separated and cleaned!
