With the wild storm that tore across South Australia on Saturday afternoon, unfortunately many properties and businesses are still without power. Those with backup diesel generators are relying on quality fuel in the tank to keep them going, and we’re pleased that our clients who have their fuel regularly analysed by Clear Fuel Technologies won’t have to worry.

When was the last time you had your diesel fuel tested? Waiting until a storm event could be too late.

Work to repair damage caused by wild storms which hit South Australia and left tens of thousands of properties without power is ongoing. Authorities have asked for interstate crews to assist, but warn some areas will not see electricity restored until Tuesday.

We can now proudly call Clear Fuel Technologies ‘100% Aussie owned and operated’!!

Recently we were privileged to be granted citizenship of this great country. It has been a long journey, but so worthwhile and it’s such a great feeling to officially be able to call Australia home.

I cannot thank our customers, business partners and new friends enough – we are so thankful to everyone who helped make this possible.

On Tuesday we were proud to exhibit at the SA Business Development Network’s Annual Showcase, held at the Regency Tavern. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting all attendees, and showing them how clean diesel fuel should look, and how we support diesel-powered South Australian businesses.

Below are some photos from a recent job completed by the Clear Fuel Technologies team, and they demonstrate the importance of regular monitoring, cleaning and inspection of diesel tanks – particularly those that are underground.

Our initial fuel sample raised alarm bells, so we sent a technician into the tank to clean and inspect. We found that the tank was severely corroded in no fewer than 20 places, and was about to start leaking its contents.

This could have had catastrophic environmental consequences, and cost the organisation over $2 million dollars.

Please get your fuel tested and tanks inspected before it’s too late.

Headlines like this are becoming more and more commonplace in the news around South Australia.

Is your stand-by diesel generator ready in case of power shortages or complete outages?

Poor quality fuel is one of the leading causes of diesel engine failure, and the Clear Fuel Technologies team can help with on-site testing so we can analyse your fuel, giving you immediate results.

Water in Diesel - the single biggest contributor to engine failure?

Even the smallest levels of water in diesel fuel can have catastrophic and costly consequences that are not covered under warranties.

Most engine filtration is designed to remove small volumes of water, but cannot cope with large volumes, and as you can see from the images, water is denser than diesel so it settles on the bottom of the tank, right where the fuel is drawn from. Additionally, water left in tank bottoms can rapidly generate microbial contamination, which in turn can compromise the entire fuel source.

With the current wet, humid weather we have been experiencing, we are now detecting high volumes of water in diesel tanks across South Australia. The images you see here are of fuel taken from a tank where water volumes exceeded the engine filter's capacity by some 3000%, and resulted in over $95,000 damage to a virtually brand new engine.

Get your tanks and fuel assessed now to mitigate your risk, protect your engine, and safeguard your business.

With predictions of load shedding in South Australia, are you confident that your generator is ready to kick in when you need it?

Poor quality diesel fuel in a generator can pose a serious risk to reliable generator operation, and sadly it is the thing not adequately addressed in many generator maintenance schedules.

Our fuel sampling and testing regime is accurate and we use accredited equipment to get the job done right.

When the lights go out, it’s too late. Contact Clear Fuel Technologies to chat today - https://clearfueltech.com.au/fuel-sampling/

Are you a Facilities or Risk Manager with a diesel generator or tanks on-site?

Diesel generators need clean, contaminant-free fuel to run as their manufacturers intended. Anything less and you run the risk of engine failure.

Our maintenance and monitoring systems allow real-time monitoring of fuel quality, and allows for pre-emptive measures to be taken in fuel quality of supply drops.

Time flies when you’re having fun!

Last month marked the 4-year anniversary of Clear Fuel Technologies in Australia, and over 4 million litres in diesel fuel remediated.

Over this time we have opened up a number of new markets and sectors including marine, agriculture, transport and logistics, and government facilities.

Here’s to the next 4 years, and the next 4 million litres!

The faces behind Clear Fuel Technologies.

Meet Ron.

Ron established Clear Fuel Technologies in South Africa originally in the year 2000. In 2018 he made the decision to sell his interest in the company, and move the family to Australia.

It was here in Adelaide that he introduced the Clear Fuel Technologies brand, and it’s been going strong for almost 4 years now, with his son Joshua joining the team in 2020.

On the weekend you’ll find Ron fishing, or taking the dog for a walk down at the beach.

Do you drive a diesel truck?

Diesel engines need clean, contaminant-free fuel to run as their manufacturers intended. Anything less and you run the risk of plugged filters, decreased engine performance, higher emissions, and premature major component failure.

If you can’t afford for your truck to be off the road for weeks being repaired, get in touch with the Clear Fuel Technologies team. We can sample the fuel in your tank to make sure it’s running at it’s best.
