Diesel Fuel Handling

For more than 75 years, Kaydon Filtration has partnered with owners of workboats, turbines and mining equipment to protect their investments with products designed to reduce contamination and degradation of fuel.

To achieve dependable, long-term performance from diesel fuel-powered engines, it’s essential that the diesel fuel be free of water and particulates. Under high pressure, even small quantities of water suspended in diesel fuel can become harsh abrasives. This can result in costly damage to injectors and fuel pumps, as well as cause unplanned downtime.

It’s important to install dependable diesel fuel purification equipment at each diesel fuel transfer point. Kaydon Filtration helps you ensure that your diesel fuel supplies are consistently dry and free from damaging particles.
