AXI's offices will be temporarily closed Monday, May 25th in observance of the Memorial Day. We will resume normal business hours Tuesday, May 26th.
AXI’s fuel sampling and testing equipment enables equipment managers to gain a thorough understanding of their fuel quality. With our sampling equipment, users are able to pull fuel samples from problematic areas of the fuel tank where contaminants often reside. Once the fuel samples are collected, AXI offers fuel testing kits to help identify water and microbial contaminants in the fuel. AXI International recommends the following simple 4-step protocol when it comes to regular fuel testing to maintain fuel reliability.
1. Sample
Collect Fuel Samples
Pull fuel samples from hard to reach and problematic areas that typically harbor high levels of fuel contamination with a fluid sampling pump or fuel tank sampler (also known as "bacon bombs").
2. Test
Check For Contamination
Test fuel samples with your own fuel testing kit or send them off for lab inspection to identify microbial contamination. Quickly determine if water is present in the tank with KolorKut® water finding paste.
3. React
Remediate & Maintain Fuel Quality
Remove and prevent future fuel contamination with one of AXI's many fuel filtration solutions. Remediate heavily contaminated fuel with a mobile fuel polishing system (MTC) or local service. Automatically filter fuel on a routine basis, maintaining fuel cleanliness, with a compact (FPS) or enclosed (STS) fuel maintenance system.
4. Repeat
Routinely Check Fuel Quality
It is extremely important to regularly test for fuel contamination, especially for mission critical facilities.
Bringing fuel back to ISO 4406 specification does not mean that it will remain that way long-term. Fuel often falls out of specification through natural degradation, microbial growth, and the introduction of new contaminants via fuel transferring and new fuel loads. Be proactive and unnecessary prevent downtime.
