High-pressure common rail fuel injection systems have spread to more diesel designs as engine manufacturers continue to pursue increasingly stringent emission standards. While they have performed as advertised, these sophisticated systems can be susceptible to damage from contaminants in the fuel. With today?s fuel injection systems operating at injection pressures up to 30,000 psi and future systems expected to reach as high as 45,000 psi, it is easy to see why even the smallest particles could wreak havoc with precision fuel injection components.

To help equipment operators avoid those issues, Donaldson Filtration Solutions has developed a portable bulk diesel filtration product that is designed to remove dirt, water and contaminants from diesel fuel in a single pass.

?Donaldson?s customers need two things - a filter system that is easy to install and one that can handle high flow rates?, says Manish Tripathi, Marketing Manager - South Asia, Donaldson.

The Donaldson clean fuel carts are designed to filter diesel fuel to an ISO 4406 cleanliness levels of 14/13/11, which is beyond the requirements of the worldwide fuel charter, the company said diesel fuel filtered to less stringent cleanliness levels won?t always stop the contamination that can cause damage to HPOR fuel injection systems.

The cart uses a 24/12 V Piusi Panther electric pump with a flow rate of 21 gpm to pass the fuel through Donaldson?s P566606 particulate filter and a PR7024B water-absorbing element, which is designed to stop all free and emulsified water. The cart includes a clear 9.84 ft long 1 in. wide section hose and a 13.12 ft x 0.75 in. discharge hose.

?It?s a lightweight, versatile tool that would be perfect for any construction site. It can be used to pump fuel into equipment or to clean up a tank that has contaminated fuel in it,? says Tripathi.

According to him, rental companies might want to include the portable filtration product to help ensure the customer is using clean fuel.

Tripathi adds, ?No matter how dirty and wet the fuel is coming in, you?re ensured clean, dry fuel coming out the other side,? he said. ?We believe that fuel issues shouldn?t be operational issues as we believe that our customers shouldn?t be slowed down by dirt, fuel chemistry or water.?
