Generator diesel fuel polishing and Service from Wolverine Power Systems of Michigan

Why Your Generator Needs Diesel Fuel Polishing in Michigan

Whether you're managing a commercial facility in Detroit, overseeing operations in Grand Rapids, or maintaining critical backup power systems anywhere across Michigan, your generator's fuel quality directly impacts its reliability. Consequently, diesel fuel doesn't last forever—even with proper storage, it begins to degrade and accumulate harmful contaminants that can damage your expensive equipment.

As Michigan's trusted generator service provider since 1997, Wolverine Power Systems offers comprehensive diesel fuel polishing services that remove water, sediment, microbial growth, and other contaminants. Furthermore, our mobile fuel polishing units can service your generators at your location throughout the state, ensuring your backup power systems are always ready when emergencies strike.

Signs Your Generator Diesel Fuel Needs Polishing

  • Fuel appears dark, cloudy, or contains visible particles
  • Generators fail to start or experience rough operation during testing
  • Frequent fuel filter clogs requiring replacement
  • Unusual odors coming from fuel tanks
  • Fuel has been stored for more than 6-12 months
  • Excessive smoke or poor combustion during operation

The Benefits of Professional Fuel Polishing Services

Regular diesel fuel polishing isn't just maintenance—it's insurance for your critical power systems. Moreover, investing in fuel polishing services protects your equipment and saves substantial money compared to fuel replacement and emergency repairs.
Cost Savings
Instead of disposing of contaminated fuel and purchasing new diesel at today's prices, fuel polishing restores your existing fuel to like-new condition. Additionally, you'll avoid expensive emergency repairs caused by contaminated fuel damaging injectors and fuel systems.
Equipment Protection
Contaminated fuel causes premature wear on fuel pumps, injectors, and other critical components. Therefore, regular polishing extends the life of your generator investment and prevents costly breakdowns during power outages.
Reliable Performance
Clean fuel means your generators start reliably and run efficiently when needed most. Consequently, you'll have confidence that your backup power will work during emergencies, storms, or planned outages.
Environmental Responsibility
Fuel polishing is an environmentally sustainable choice because it prevents unnecessary waste. Rather than disposing of hundreds or thousands of gallons of fuel, we restore it to optimal condition.
Compliance Assurance
Many industries require regular generator testing and fuel quality maintenance. Furthermore, our fuel polishing services help you meet these requirements while maintaining detailed service records for inspections.
Extended Fuel Life
Regular polishing can extend diesel fuel storage life by up to 40% or more. As a result, you'll maintain fuel quality between deliveries and reduce the frequency of complete fuel replacements.

Our Comprehensive Fuel Polishing Process

At Wolverine Power Systems, we use proven fuel polishing equipment and processes to restore your diesel fuel. In addition, our certified technicians follow industry best practices to ensure thorough cleaning and optimal results.

Initial Fuel Assessment
Our technicians begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your fuel condition. Specifically, we test for water content, particulate contamination, microbial growth, and overall fuel quality to determine the appropriate polishing approach.
Tank Preparation
Before polishing begins, we prepare your fuel system for the cleaning process. Meanwhile, we ensure proper safety protocols are in place and your generator can remain operational if needed during the service.
Multi-Stage Filtration
Our advanced filtration systems remove contaminants in multiple stages. First, we separate water and large particles, then progressively filter smaller contaminants down to 5 microns. Subsequently, this thorough process ensures fuel meets or exceeds ASTM standards.
Continuous Circulation
Clean fuel is returned to your tank at high velocity, which helps flush remaining sediment from the tank bottom.
Fuel Conditioning Treatment
After mechanical filtration, we can apply appropriate fuel conditioners and antimicrobial treatments. Therefore, these additives help prevent future contamination and extend the life of your polished fuel.
Quality Verification
Upon completion, we verify fuel quality and provide documentation of the service performed.

Common Fuel Contaminants We Remove

Diesel fuel stored in generator tanks faces numerous contamination threats. Nevertheless, our fuel polishing process effectively addresses all common contaminants:
Water Contamination
Water enters fuel tanks through condensation, especially in Michigan's varying climate conditions. Moreover, water provides the perfect environment for microbial growth and causes rust in steel tanks. Our fuel-water separators remove both free water and emulsified water droplets.
Microbial Growth (Diesel Bug)
Bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms thrive at the fuel-water interface, creating slimy biomass that clogs filters and corrodes tanks. Accordingly, we remove these contaminants through filtration and can apply biocide treatments to prevent recurrence.
Sediment and Particulates
Rust particles, dirt, sand, and degraded fuel components settle at tank bottoms. Eventually, these contaminants get stirred up and drawn into fuel systems, causing damage. Our polishing process removes particles down to 5 microns.
Fuel Degradation Products
Over time, diesel fuel naturally breaks down, forming varnishes, gums, and asphaltenes. These sticky substances clog injectors and reduce combustion efficiency. Consequently, our fuel conditioners help reverse this degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fuel Polishing

Ask your generator question here

Most experts recommend fuel polishing every 12-36 months, depending on storage conditions and fuel usage. However, if your generators see infrequent use, we typically suggest polishing every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance. Additionally, facilities in humid environments or near water may need more frequent service.

Yes! One of the advantages of our fuel polishing service is that your generators can remain operational throughout the process. Therefore, you don't need to schedule downtime or worry about losing backup power capability during the service.

The duration depends on tank size and contamination level. Typically, polishing a 500-1,000 gallon tank takes 4-8 hours. Meanwhile, larger commercial tanks may require a full day or more. Our technicians will provide accurate time estimates during the initial assessment.

Absolutely! Fuel polishing typically costs a fraction of what you'd pay to dispose of contaminated fuel and purchase new diesel. Furthermore, you avoid the environmental disposal fees and the hassle of coordinating fuel delivery and removal.

We serve the entire state of Michigan from our four locations. Our service area includes all counties in both the Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula. Moreover, our mobile fuel polishing units can reach any location where your generators are installed.

Yes! While we're Michigan's exclusive Generac Industrial distributor, Wolverine Power Systems services all makes and models of generators. Consequently, whether you have Cummins, Caterpillar, Kohler, or any other brand, we can polish your fuel and maintain your systems.

In many cases, yes. If contaminated fuel has caused starting issues, rough operation, or filter clogging, polishing can restore the fuel to usable condition. However, if the contamination has already damaged fuel system components, those parts may need repair or replacement in addition to fuel polishing.
