Emergency Fuel System Failure - Fuel Clean Canada

Diesel-fuel is inherently unstable. Over time it becomes contaminated with water and particles that are detrimental to both the engine and the fuel. Even the smallest amount of contamination begins to erode critical components of the fuel system, which could result in partial or full functional (complete) engine failure in the event of a power outage. This leads to critical safety issues with electricity, elevators, automatic door openings, and other emergency safety systems within the building.

Emergency Fuel System Failure

Partial Functional Failure

A partial functional failure is one that reduces performance or efficiency of the engine and everything the engine powers. These are very difficult to detect and often go unnoticed until it is much too late. During a power failure, partial functional failure can escalate to a full functional failure or minimally decrease the run time of the emergency fuel system and, thus, all emergency safety systems.

Full Functional Failure

Full functional failures cause the engine to stop functioning altogether. These are often highly visible, dramatic events as a full functional failure is not realized until the engine is called upon during a power outage and the emergency system cannot operate.

The only way to prevent fuel system failure is to remove contaminants that catalyze deterioration in the diesel-fuel regularly. In the past, this process has been time consuming and expensive. Advancements made by Fuel Clean Canada, however, now allow this procedure to be performed more efficiently, economically, safely, and quickly.

To ensure your diesel-fuel is contamination free and your emergency fuel system runs optimally, Fuel Clean Canada cleans your fuel, provides test results certifying the purity levels of the cleaned fuel, makes recommendations to minimize fuel deterioration, and schedules a date for your next service call.
