Fuel Quality Control Fuel is the most important link in the chain providing reliability and availability of a heavy duty power head. Diesel fuel is naturally unstable and will form sediments, and larger fuel particles over time (tank sludge) as well as accumulate water and can be “out of spec” after 6 months of storage. Fuel can be and has been the cause of shut downs in heavy duty engines which can lead to enormous cost and loss in profit. 3 Fuel shouldn’t look like this!

Culprits of Fuel Problems 4

Fuel Analysis and Remediation Test your fuel with proper sampling and independent lab analysis. You have options to restore out of spec fuel to ASTM D975 specifications (standard specification for diesel fuel oils). –Fuel Additives –Biocide Treatment –Tank Cleaning –Fuel Polishing (water & contaminants removal) 5

Fuel Quality Control Technology What is Fuel Polishing? Fuel Polishing is the removal of water, sediment, non-combustible particulate matter and microbial contamination below levels stated in ASTM D975 (Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils) while reversing oxidation and re-suspending combustible particulate matter to maintain ASTM standards for BTU value, lubricity, and cetane. 6 How Can We Do That? -Cycle the fuel through our equipment a minimum of 3 times. That guarantees that we get all of the fuel at least once. Our equipment uses coalescers/purifiers, fuel conditioners, and filtration to achieve the required cleanliness. -Use additive packages to act as a stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, surfactant, detergent and combustion catalyst. -Equipment speeds range from 180 GPH to 10,000 GPH. Speed is often limited by the size of the openings in the tank (Which limits the size of the hoses we can use!).

Fuel Management System Monitor fuel usage on up to hundreds of drivers and vehicles in real-time. Setup, monitoring and reporting done from your PC Monitor, control, and limit drivers & vehicles from your PC Create customizable reports & graphs that show you the details of each tank, liquid, vehicle, or driver that your company manages 7

Fuel Management System 8 Eliminate Theft and Messy Accounting Gain Inventory Control and Seamless Integration of Data into YOUR Accounting Systems

Supply Strategies 9 If you are in a fuel intensive industry, diesel prices no doubt have a significant impact on your bottom line. If you don’t actively manage your fuel prices you could exceed your budget forecasts and pay the price with lower profit margins or even losses. Benefits of the Contract Pricing Programs Limit exposure to increasing price swings Reduce risk in a highly volatile market Provide an accurate budgeting and accounting tool Program can be customized to cover all or only part of fuel requirements Contract lengths are flexible (1-18 months) Types of Contracts FIXED PRICE – Customer locks a price for a set time period PRICE CAP – Limits the upside price spike potential PRICE COLLAR – A cap and a floor are set limiting upside risk, but, also limiting downside activity Reduce your risk in a highly volatile market.
