Everything you need to know about fuel conditioning, in your pocket.

WASP’s Fuel Conditioning Handbook covers everything you need to know about maintaining the quality of your fuel and the reliability of the equipment it serves:

  • Relevant legislation
  • What is clean, dry fuel and why does it matter?
  • What’s different about biodiesel?
  • How can biodiesel be contaminated?
  • How can you prevent contamination?

Our fuel conditioning handbook contains information that will help you improve the condition of diesel stored in bulk storage tanks and day tanks. And it’s not just ‘the world according to WASP’. Although we’re experts in the field, we’re happy to provide advice from fuel companies such as BP, Chevron and Exxon Mobil and engine manufacturers such as Cummins and Caterpillar.

The system does not automatically purge air, so it is the engineer’s responsibility to do so as described in later sections.
