Water and oil do not mix. Furthermore, water can create nuisance service problems in the oil supply system such as:
How can these problems be prevented or at least substantially reduced? First of all, it is vital to understand what the root causes are and then take appropriate measures to eliminate them.
With underground tanks, leakage can be traced to several root causes.
Water should be kept from remaining in the fuel tank. It is good practice for the tank to be checked with water-finding-paste, preferably before each fill-up, but at least annually. Any accumulation should be pumped out. If the water has gotten into the supply tubing, it should be pressure-cleaned with a hand pump or CO₂ charge. The filter, pump and nozzle tubing should be thoroughly cleaned and the nozzle replaced. Tests should be run to make sure that the fuel pump has not been damaged. A suitable chemical additive can be used to further disperse moisture, sludge and act as a bactericide. Following these outlined procedures can assist you in reducing nuisance service problems due to water contamination.
