Biofuel Conversions

"Systems converted to E10 and E85 (an ethanol/ gasoline blend) and biodiesel blends must be cleaned properly. We've heard from retail and fleet partners about the thorough, professional and price competitive services Optic Clean Fuel (the system used by Atlantic Clean Fuel) provides. Thank-you for performing this important role in expanding the availability of clean fuels," said Tim Gerlach, vice president of Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technologies for the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest."

Tank Entry Maintenance

Good tank entry maintenance is always important, but with ethanol it is absolutely imperative.

• Quality caps in good working order must be in use at all entry points. If you can spin the cap, it needs to be replaced.

• Probe caps must have fresh grommet around wire.

• Spill bucket should be emptied of water after every rain.

• Spill bucket dirt and debris should be scooped out as it accumulates.

• This dirt takes up the space meant for water.

Neglecting these issues will invite water and phase separation. Phase separation is expensive business and it can be prevented.

Atlantic Clean Fuel will change caps and furnish spare caps for a modest fee.
