FUELTEC MODEL CF4.0 CRITICAL FUEL FILTRATION SYSTEM For Fuel Storage Up To 10,000 Gallons (38,000 liters) Today s diesel engines require aircraft quality fuel. Not to many years ago diesel engines were quite simple, not too efficient, smoked, and burned high sulfur fuel (as much as 5,000 parts per million). The older diesel injection systems only use about 1 2 the fuel pressure modern engines do, and older injectors send the fuel through much larger passages. If there was a little moisture in the storage tank, the high sulfur content killed most of the filter clogging bacteria and fungi. Today s diesel fuel is ultra-low sulfur (15 parts per million) which allows bacteria and fungi to grow rapidly if any moisture is in the fuel storage tank. Today s diesel engines use high pressure, 27,000 to 35,000 psi fuel injectors with tiny fuel passages which are easily clogged with dirty fuel and damaged by water. The days of using grandpa s old style boat or tractor filters on your diesel fuel tank are over. The old style filters and water separators that remove 75% to 99% of the contamination are not good enough for today s diesel engines. Magnets and filter-less devices won't clean fuel to ISO 18/16/13 or remove water to 0.05% Both Caterpillar and Cummins call for fuel to meet or exceed ISO cleanliness levels of 18/16/13 with a water content of less than 0.05% Fueltec s systems meet or exceed these ISO levels with a one micron primary filter, micro-glass filter/coalescer, and Teflon coated stainless steel hydrophobic water separator. Fueltec uses this type of system on aircraft Jet-A or JP-8 Jet fuel. Diesel fuel will meet this ISO level after one pass through Fueltec s Model CF4.0
CRITICAL FUEL FILTRATION SYSTEM For Fuel Storage Up To 10,000 Gallons (38,000 liters) Overview Model CF4.0-PLC The Model 4.0-PLC is a fuel polishing system that automatically removes water and debris to prevent bacterial growth and unexpected engine shut down. A stand alone system that can be used on diesel fuel storage tanks with capacities to 10,000 gallons. In operation the system vacuums fluid from the storage tank bottom, removes water and contaminates then returns the clean dry fuel back to the tank. This system maintains a condition exceeding the engine manufacturer s recommended cleanliness levels of ISO particle code 18/16/13. PLC/HMI Touch Screen Controller: Controller will set filtration cycle time High separator water alarm Change primary filter alarm Change secondary filter alarm Fluid leak alarm System operating Underwriters Laboratory 508A Listed Modbus ready Fuel Pump: Industrial bronze positive displacement gear pump rated at four gallons per minute, 100% duty cycle. Self priming pump lifts 16 feet and features a 115/230 Volt 60Hz 1PH Motor Stainless Fuel/Water Separator: First phase 3 micron spin-on filter Second phase Micro-Glass (jet fuel type) Coalescer removes tiny water droplets of free and emulsified water from fuels by causing the droplets to grow larger until contained in a water trap. The third phase utilizes a water repellant Teflon screen to keep the water from flowing with the fuel.

Sizing Your Fuel Filtration System Water and most fuel contaminants are heavier than fuel and will settle in a lower phase on the tank bottom. Contrary to some beliefs; Testing has proven that this lower phase may only be 5-10% of the tanks content. The upper phase of 90-95%; if left un-disturbed will remain clean and relatively dry. Therefore a properly designed system will remove this bottom phase of water and contaminates without mixing with the clean upper phase fuel. The 4.0-PLC is a 240 GPH system. Example A : One (1) 10,000 gal. tank containing a total of 7,200 gal. of product. To filter and remove water from 25% of 7,200 gal. = 1,800 gal. Operating 7.5 hours per day will circulate and remove contaminates from 1,800 gal. in one day. Example B : One (1) 5,000 gal. tanks containing a total of 4,000 gal. of product. To filter and remove water from 25% of 4,000 gal. = 1,000 gal. Operating 4.2 hours per day will circulate and remove contaminates in 1,000 gal. in one day. Example C : One (1) 1,000 gal. tank containing a total of 900 gal. of product. To filter and remove water from 25% of 900 gal. = 225 gal. Operating less than one hour per day will circulate and remove contaminates in 225 gal. 4.0-PLC TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Fuel Tanks Served: four AST Maximum lift: 16 feet Working pressure fuel: max. 40 PSI Maximum Flow rate: 240 Gallons per hour * Water Trap: standard Width: 30 Depth: 12 Overall Height 30 Pump: Cast bronze, Gear, 4GPM, 115/230V 50/60Hz Inlets/Outlets: 1 Vacuum Gauge: Alarms: High water in separator Primary filter change required Fluid in sump System off Options: Heated Housings Installation Kits with drop pipe, tank flanges, flexible or telescopic pickup tubes.
