Fuel Tank Water Absorbers
Diesel and oil tank water absorbers for removing water contamination
The increasing bio-content in today’s diesel means that the fuel in your storage tanks often contains small, but problematic water levels. The water contamination, both free and emulsified water, can cause serious issues from blocking fuel filters, equipment damage, engine system corrosion to poor fuel efficiency. Our range of Aquafighter and Cim-Tek fuel tank water absorbers can prevent the forming of diesel bugs and cloudy fuel and save you costly downtime and repairs of vehicles. The diesel and oil tank water absorbers we offer are suitable for storage tanks, agricultural and industrial machinery, generator, and oil heating tanks. Also, our Aquafighter water absorber range offers a complete solution for water contamination by removing both free and emulsified water, ensuring your fuel is water-free all the time. This diesel tank water absorber reduces the water content levels down to 75ppm to meet the EN590 diesel fuel standards (200ppm), saving you costly damage and downtime.

FAQs
Aquafighter fuel tank water absorbers can remove free and bound water level down to 70ppm (exceeding refinery spec). However, if you have a problem with seriously contaminated fuel with a large quantity of particles, dirt and bacteria, then Aquafighter fuel tank water absorber cannot improve the quality of considerably spoilt diesel fuel. In the event of considerably dirty fuel, we recommend considering professionally cleaning your fuel and tank and then start using Aquafighter to prevent problems with water contamination in the future.
The model of Aquafighter water absorber best suited to your requirements depends on two things; the size of your tank opening that the Aquafighter will be lowered into, and the capacity of the tank. Once you have this information, view our product selection table.
The Aquafighter fuel tank water absorber is designed to be lowered directly to the bottom of the fuel tank, and that the cord is secured outside of the tank for easy retrieval for inspection and replacement. For full instructions click here.
Unfortunately, there is no straight answer to this question as Aquafighter water absorber can be influenced by factors such as how bad the fuel is contaminated, high humidity, leaks that require you to replace the tank water absorber more often. You can however retrieve Aquafighter at any time to check whether it appears full.
No. The Aquafighter fabric membrane is designed to resist expansion even when full. This is designed so that there is zero risk of removing it from the tank when it is full.

Aquafighter is fuel tank water absorber that removes both free, suspended and emulsified water in the fuel providing a complete solution to water contamination. Aquafighter ensures that your fuel tank is water-free all the time by absorbing the free water and separating and capturing suspended water that makes the fuel looks cloudy. On the other hand, other diesel and oil tank water absorbers on the market can remove only free water, solving half of the problem. View an example here.
Aquafighter fuel tank water absorber is designed to keep your fuel water-free, preventing water contamination and diesel bug growth. Additives usually only treat the symptoms caused by water present in the fuel without solving the actual problem. Also, the diesel tank water absorber does not simply “absorb” water, but separates and captures it, which can save you money and time in repairing damaged equipment.
