Is Your Boat Protected from Diesel's Worst Enemy, Water?
Are you taking a risk when it comes to water in your fuel?
Despite all the time a boat spends in an aqueous environment, boat engines are not designed to handle water content. When water enters the fuel tank either through condensation or ingress from a crack in the fill cap, it leaves the fuel susceptible to nasty diesel bug sludge forming, especially when the boat is put away for periods of time like in winter. As well as blocking filters, pumps and injectors, fuel contaminated with water can cause loss of engine power, struggling to get the boat up to speed, expensive fuel system corrosion and poor fuel economy. All of which result in £0000s worth of repairs and your boat not performing as it should. Can you take the risk of not dealing with your diesel's worst enemy?
Do you know if you have a problem with water in your boat fuel tank?
Even well-maintained boats can be victims to water getting in through condensation – and most diesel users know that this can present itself in the form of a layer of “free water” at the bottom of your fuel tank. It is here that diesel bugs breed and form the nasty sludge. But did you know that water also attaches to the fuel molecules as suspended water, making your fuel appear cloudy?
Diesel should remain clear and bright, so if you notice a free water layer, traces of sludge or that your fuel is cloudy (or worse, milky), then you most certainly have a problem with water. However, as modern diesel will inevitably attract water due to its increasing bio-content, why wait for these symptoms to arise when you can act now?
Aquafighter the only COMPLETE solution to water in fuel
Typical fuel tank filters on the refuelling pump work well as a final attempt to remove free water before it enters the machinery you’re fuelling. But using this alone will not stop sludge forming, and they are only able to remove free water, meaning that the suspended water making your fuel cloudy will still pass into your boat.
This is where Aquafighter comes in:
- Simple add the absorber in the boat fuel tank when the boat is docked.
- Removes both free AND suspended water to keep fuel entirely water-free.
- Prevents sludge and the costly damage to the boat engine water causes.
- Easily retrievable for replacement when it reaches its absorption capacity.
- Eliminates the need for most diesel fuel additives.
- Reduces filter blockages and replacement by around 60%.
