Proven Fuel Management LTD (PFMBlue) has introduced a Fuel Sample Collector to our product range, the use of this is to assist operators wanting to identify their fuel “health” and minimise potential damage establishing routine sampling of fuels in bulk storage.
As Diesel engines become more refined in their engineering, the risk of damage increases to the delicate components such as fuel injectors being “clogged” or damaged by impurities such as moisture and bacteria content causing them to fail.
