Fuel tanks, whether in vehicles, industrial machinery, or storage facilities, require regular cleaning to maintain efficiency and safety. Over time, grease, sludge, and other residues build up inside tanks, reducing fuel quality and causing operational issues. Using an effective fuel tank degreaser is essential to keep tanks clean, prolong their lifespan, and ensure smooth performance. AQUAQUICK 2000 is an advanced solution designed to tackle tough degreasing challenges safely and efficiently.
Why Fuel Tank Degreasing is Important
Fuel tanks accumulate various contaminants such as:
- Sludge from fuel breakdown
- Grease and oil residues
- Microbial growth causing biofilms
- Dirt and dust infiltration
These deposits can clog filters, corrode tanks, and reduce fuel flow, leading to engine inefficiencies or costly repairs. Proper degreasing ensures that tanks remain free of harmful buildup and operate at optimal capacity.
How AQUAQUICK 2000 Works as a Fuel Tank Degreaser
AQUAQUICK 2000 uses a powerful bioemulsifying action that breaks down grease and sludge without harsh chemicals. Its formula is safe on metals and coatings, ensuring tanks are not damaged during cleaning. Key advantages include:
- Dilution flexibility (1:15 to 1:25) for tough grease removal
- Compatibility with high-pressure cleaning up to 3500 PSI
- Environmentally friendly, fully biodegradable formula
- Non-corrosive and safe for workers’ skin
- Can be used for manual or automated cleaning systems
By using heat and pressure along with AQUAQUICK 2000, sludge is softened and emulsified, allowing easy removal without harming tank integrity.
Application Tips for Fuel Tank Degreaser
- Prepare the Solution: Mix AQUAQUICK 2000 with hot water (ideally above the melting point of the sludge) for better efficacy.
- Apply Thoroughly: Use tank sprinkler systems or hand tools to cover all internal surfaces.
- Pressure Wash or Flush: High-pressure jets or repeated flushing help remove loosened residues.
- Manual Assistance: For stubborn spots, manual scrubbing with brushes or stiff brooms may be necessary.
- Rinse and Dry: Complete the process by flushing out the dissolved sludge and allowing the tank to dry.
