Diesel Fuel Polishing

At WPP, our diesel fuel polishing service is part of our preventive maintenance program. We strive to maintain and prolong the life of your generator. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing that your generator is in perfect working order, and can run for hours whenever you need it.

dingbo supply professional and honest service.

Our process starts by taking sample of diesel fuel from the middle and bottom of the tank.  The sample is then sent to the lab, which provides a full report on of the quality of fuel in your fuel tank.  This report is shared with you as well as recommended action steps based on the results. The report tells us which and how much biocides we should be using in the polishing process in order to get you the cleanest fuel tank possible.

Depending on your generator and fuel needs, you might need to clean your fuel more or less often. Critical backup generators, generators in harsh climates, and generators with highly contaminated fuel often require more cleaning to prevent damage and make sure they run properly.  In Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast areas, for example, it is recommended to clean and treat your diesel fuel tank every six months.   To view more information on NFPA 110 standards and recommendations, click here.

Hello all,
I need information on the fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel sets with the following ratings: 320kVA, 500kVA, 590kVA, 725kVA, 800kVA and kVA. Any other information on their operating characteristics will be appreciated.
Thanks.

for the standard kVA genset size of 350kVA
Then, use wizard

to obtain 100% load with fan consumption 26.1 gal/hr
Similarly for the other (maybe approximate) sizes.

Suggestion: Visit for examplefor the standard kVA genset size of 350kVAThen, use wizardto obtain 100% load with fan consumption 26.1 gal/hrSimilarly for the other (maybe approximate) sizes.

In order to find fuel consumption you will need to supply the KW ratings of the engines you need.  You should be able to visit the Cat website, this can direct you to your local Cat dealer that should be happy to answer your questions.

Very rough rule of thumb for larger (>500kW) units - 0.06 gal/hr/kw.
