FUEL TREATMENTS If you have, or want to prevent the dreaded ‘Diesel Bug’, then we offer a range of treatments to help. Diesel is an organic fuel and therefore a food for microscopic fungi, yeast and bacteria (Diesel Bug). There is water for germination, carbon for food, oxygen and sulphur for respiration and trace elements for growth. The microbes are all independent, separate living cells that grow in colonies. These can develop into ‘mats’ easily seen in the fuel with the naked eye. The growth and activity of the organisms can be very rapid. In other situations the development can be at a very slow rate, difficult to detect without laboratory testing. They can lie dormant in the tank until the moisture content and temperature cause the promotion of growth. 4 well known symptoms characterise the presence of micro organisms: • Odour - usually like rotten eggs • Colour - fuel is darker and often khaki • Appearance - murky, slimy or matted ‘gunk’ • Corrosion - due to the acids produced

It efficiently separates air from fuel forced into the vent line during refuelling, vents the air and returns the fuel back to the tank. The Lifeguard captures fuel normally discharged due to agitation and thermal expansion up to 2.4 PSI. Maintenance free, there is nothing to rust or corrode. Fittings included. One unit per line, both models fit 16mm (5/8”) vent lines. LIFEGUARD ANTI-SPILL DEVICES Next time you fill up, watch your fuel vent line. A typical refuelling will send up to a half a gallon of fuel spilling overboard. Fuel spillage is not only expensive, it’s absolutely deadly to the environment in fragile lakes, rivers and waterways. In some areas, it can even involve fines for pollution. The Racor fuel / air separator will eliminate fuel overflow during refuelling and fits neatly into your vent line, replacing part of the line.
