Bulk Fuel & Lube Filtration
Cost-effective Solutions

OVERVIEW Why Filter Bulk Fuels and Oils?

Filtration of bulk diesel fuel and oil
controls the ingression of dirt and
water into equipment when filling
fuel or oil tanks.

Contamination in fuel or
lubricating oil can rapidly wear
away at expensive components
ultimately causing catastrophic
failure, higher fuel or oil
consumption, greater emissions,
leading to downtime and higher
operating costs.
