Construction equipment is more delicate than you might expect; even seemingly insignificant particles have the power to do a lot of harm. Approximately 85 percent of fuel system failures are caused by contaminants. The most effective techniques for keeping debris out of your equipment's fuel system are described here. When you need maintenance or repairs for your construction equipment in Anaheim, CA, or the surrounding towns, contact Orange County Fleet Services for unbeatable service. How Contaminants Can Cause Damage The wear can be exacerbated if dirt and dust are present in an area of the engine where rapid sliding motions occur because the tiny particles obstruct sliding motions. Examples of these impacted parts include inner and outer valves, nozzle needles and seats, and command pistons. The connection between the injector barrel and plunger as well as the control valves is particularly vulnerable to damage from dirt and dust. Best Practices for Keeping Dirt Out of the Fuel Line Maintaining your equipment's fuel line properly is the greatest way to prevent dirt from getting inside. To stop dust from collecting on the nozzle during refueling, put the nozzle back onto the pump. Make sure all fuel tank vents and lids are always tightly sealed. Additionally, any filters should be kept clean. To boost the efficiency of the machine's fuel filter and help prevent any dirt or dust from entering, make sure that any gasoline entering a bulk storage tank passes through a dispensing filter.
