When To Treat For Cold Flow: Navigating Diesel's Seasonal Challenges
As winter beckons, a prudent eye turns towards the fuel tanks and the specter of cold flow problems that lurk in the...
For businesses with commercial small equipment, their financial exposures center on a couple of things - the risk of equipment problems using ethanol fuels, and their ability to maintain the quality of any stored fuels they might keep for this type of use.
The big problems arise from the fact that while vehicles can run on 10-15% ethanol-gasoline blends without a problem, small engine equipment is still susceptible to materials damage over time from the fuel, due to the interaction of the ethanol with polymer components.
And then, on the storage side, stored ethanol-blend gasolines also have much shorter shelf lives than gasolines from the past. They differ a little in that the biggest issues they see in storage are microbial contamination and phase separation.
Fortunately, Bell Performance offers state-of-the-art chemistries to help with any of these small engine fuel issues. And Bell Fuel & Tank Services offers the expertise of the Hybrid Approach to solve the problem.
