The New World of Advanced Diesel Filtration

The Cost of Dirty Fuel

All new off-road diesel engines now must meet Tier 4 regulations. In order to achieve Tier 4
requirements, manufacturer of engines and injector systems have gone to high pressure, common
rail, injection systems. The pressures can exceed 30,000 psi and might go even higher in the future.
Particulates left in the fuel under the high pressure, combined with very small injector nozzle clearances
as small as 2µm, can cause premature failure of nozzles or system components.

Failures of the injection system caused by particulates and water could result in repair costs of around
$1,500 per injector. The associated costs for a failure due to parts damage, repair & down time, loss of
production and image loss of the operation could add up to ten-thousands of dollars per incident!

Traditional On-board Engine Filtration & Fuel Water Separation is no longer enough to insure
performance. Instead, a comprehensive filter strategy is required to assure proper fuel quality for trouble
free engine operation:
