Dirty diesel shuts equipment down.

Stored diesel degrades over time. Water, sludge, sediment, and microbial contamination build up in tanks that sit.

💧

Water in Fuel

Water settles to the tank bottom and feeds microbial growth. It causes injector damage, rust, and filter failure.

🧱

Sludge & Sediment

Tank sludge clogs filters, scores injectors, and gets worse the longer it sits.

🦠

Microbial Growth / Diesel Bug

Bacteria and fungi grow at the water-fuel interface — often called diesel bug. Produces filter-clogging biomass.

🌫

Dark or Cloudy Fuel

Discolored or hazy diesel indicates oxidation, contamination, or degradation. Fuel stored 12+ months is at risk.

🔴

Clogged Filters

Repeated fuel filter plugging is a symptom, not a root cause. Contaminated stored diesel is likely the problem.

Generator Reliability Risk

A generator that fails to start when the power goes out is the worst case. Emergency power depends on clean fuel.

Start Here

Not sure if your fuel is bad?

Start with a fuel sample and visual inspection. We assess color, clarity, water content, and sediment. Tank size, access, contamination level, and fuel condition determine the correct service.

Not every tank needs the same treatment. We tell you what we find before you decide how to proceed.

What contaminated fuel looks like

The difference between contaminated and clean diesel is visible.

How mobile fuel polishing works

Every job starts with an honest assessment. We tell you what we find before we start.

01

Inspect and Sample

We arrive at your site and assess the tank. We take a fuel sample for visual inspection and note tank condition, access points, and fuel volume.

02

Identify Contamination

We identify water, sediment, sludge, microbial contamination, and signs of oxidation. We explain what we find before starting work.

03

Polish Through Mobile Filtration

Fuel is circulated through our mobile filtration system, removing particulates and water. Fuel stays in your tank.

04

Remove Water, Sediment & Clean Tank Bottom

When required, we remove the water layer and bottom sludge. Tank-bottom cleaning scope depends on tank design and access.

05

Treat or Stabilize When Appropriate

When fuel condition warrants it, a stabilizer or biocide treatment can be applied. We explain the rationale.

06

Findings & Maintenance Recommendation

We document what we found, what we did, and what we recommend. You get a clear picture before and after service.

Who we serve

We work with facilities managers, marina operators, contractors, wineries, farmers, fleet operators, and property managers throughout Solano and Napa Counties.

Backup Generators

Emergency power systems cannot fail when the power goes out.

🍷

Wineries & Ag

Seasonal diesel storage is common in wine country. We service winery tanks throughout Napa and Solano.

Marinas & Boats

Marine diesel tanks are prone to water and microbial contamination in humid environments.

🏗

Contractors

Jobsite equipment runs on stored diesel. Contaminated fuel means downtime when the job demands it.

🚛

Fleets & Transport

Fleet operators with stored diesel inventory need fuel that performs consistently.

🌾

Farms & Ranches

Farm tanks often go months between uses. Stored diesel needs to be clean when the season starts.

🏚

Commercial Buildings

Property managers with backup power systems need a reliable service provider who works on-site.

🔋

Emergency Storage

Critical facilities depend on stored diesel that meets strict reliability standards.

Fuel polishing is usually cheaper than the alternative.

RISK: REPLACING FUEL

Pump out, dispose, and refill — plus downtime and disposal costs.

RISK: FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE

Contaminated diesel degrades injectors, pumps, filters, and seals.

RISK: EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME

A generator that fails to start has a cost that exceeds the polishing service.

How pricing works

Pricing depends on tank size, fuel volume, accessibility, contamination level, and whether tank-bottom cleaning is required. We do not publish flat rates because no two jobs are the same.

Frequently asked questions

Diesel fuel polishing is a filtration and cleaning process that removes water, sediment, sludge, and microbial contamination from stored diesel fuel. The fuel is circulated through a multi-stage filtration system. Polishing is performed on-site — the fuel stays in the tank.
Common signs include dark or cloudy fuel, repeated filter plugging, sluggish or hard-starting engines, a foul smell, visible water or sludge in a sample, or a fuel/water separator that fills frequently. Fuel stored more than 12 months without testing is at risk.
Yes. Water removal is a core function of diesel fuel polishing. Free water and emulsified water can both be addressed through the filtration and separation process.
Yes. Fuel polishing filters what is circulating in the fuel. Tank cleaning physically removes sludge from the tank bottom, cleans walls, and addresses corrosion. Some jobs require both. We assess which is appropriate based on contamination level and tank condition.
NFPA 110 recommends annual fuel testing for backup generator fuel. For other stored diesel, testing frequency depends on storage conditions and criticality. As a guideline, stored diesel not regularly turned over should be tested at least once a year.
Pricing depends on tank size, fuel volume, access, contamination level, whether tank-bottom cleaning is needed, and travel distance. We do not publish flat rates because every job is different. Contact us for an honest assessment and estimate.
Yes. We service backup generators, marine diesel tanks, farm and agricultural tanks, winery and agricultural storage, construction equipment tanks, fleet storage, and commercial buildings. Contact us and we will assess whether we can help.
