MEGAWATTAGE ADOPTS A ROAD ON GENERATOR ROW IN MIAMI, FLORIDA
DIESEL FUEL CONTAMINATION
|
|
THE PROBLEM
The most common operational problems with diesel engines are fuel-related. Straight from the pump, diesel fuel is contaminated with water, microbes, and other solids. Contaminated fuel leads to poor motor performance, premature engine failure, shortened duty cycles, unplanned downtime and expensive repairs. The early symptoms of fuel contamination are poor performance, poor fuel economy, exhaust odors, injector failure and heavy smoke during operation.
Exercising your diesel generator once a week won't solve the problem.
Using the same additive twice a year won't solve the problem.
THE SOLUTION
Have Megawattage™ Power Solutions analyze your fuel twice a year at our test lab to insure that microbiological organisms are not going to prevent your generator from starting up when you need it. Megawattage™ Power Solutions will create a multi-additive treatment program for you and during our bi annual visits, we will treat your fuel for you.
Once Megawattage™ Power Solutions has the final results from our test lab, we will begin developing a historical record for you. Then, you will be able to track the progress that we are making in cleansing your fuel and stabilizing the tank.
BIODIESEL FUEL
|
Are you looking for a domestically produced, renewable fuel that you can use in your diesel engine? If so, biodiesel may be the perfect fuel for you. When biodiesel is blended with petroleum diesel, it produces a fuel that is compatible with diesel engines, displaces imported petroleum, and reduces harmful emissions. Blends like B2 (2% biodiesel and 98% diesel) and B5 (5% biodiesel and 95% diesel) are becoming increasingly common as drivers become more aware of the many benefits. Biodiesel blends of 20% biodiesel or more are also widely available and may qualify for credits under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 Biodiesel is manufactured by chemically reacting vegetable oils, recycled cooking grease, or animal fats with alcohol. Today's biodiesel is primarily made from domestically produced soybean oil, which has extremely low sulfur content. Cooking oil and animal fat biodiesel is also produced with very low sulfur so today's biodiesel already meets EPA 2006 regulations for ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.
What types of vehicles run on biodiesel blends? As long as the biodiesel used for blending meets ASTM D6751 standards, low-level biodiesel blends such as B2 and B5 can be used safely in any compression-ignition engine that is designed to be operated on diesel fuel. This may include diesel-powered cars, trucks, tractors, boats, and electrical generators.Fuel Costs With the rising costs of diesel fuel, the cost of biodiesel blends is comparable to No. 2 diesel.Benefits In addition to displacing imported petroleum, biodiesel blends reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases. The superior lubricity of biodiesel can reduce wear and tear on the engine, and using biodiesel supports U.S. farmers by providing a market for excess soybean oil.Performance Biodiesel has an energy content that is about 10% less than diesel No. 2 and about the same as diesel No. 1. In theory, adding biodiesel to diesel No. 2 should slightly reduce fuel economy, power, and torque. In reality, low-level blends are practically indistinguishable from conventional diesel.Biodiesel also has superior lubricity, which reduces wear and tear on the engine and can increase the life of engine components. In addition, it is a mild solvent that will help clean your fuel system.
