Portable fuel tank cleaning system

Sept. 4, 2012

A new product from Algae-X International is said to remove sludge and water from smaller diesel engines, such as those found on trucks, generators and farm equipment, while optimizing fuel quality.

The TK 240-XT portable fuel tank cleaning system has a self-priming 240 GPH nickel-plated brass gear pump using filtration components connected by corrosion-resistant stainless steel plumbing. A pressure gauge on the filter housing ensures optimal filter service life, the company said.

“The TK 240-XT uses AXI’s Algae-X 500 fuel conditioner to optimize fuel quality for peak engine performance, greater reliability and less pollution,” said Wout Lisseveld, CEO. “The pump on this new system has a flow rate that’s 33% faster than its predecessor, the TK 180-XT. Tanks can be cleaned and fuel optimized more quickly than ever before.”

The TK 240-XT System includes:

  • Algae-X 500 fuel conditioner
  • 15 micron water block filter
  • Inline strainer
  • powder coated spill tray and stand with a pump assembly locking clamp
  • 13-ft. clear suction hose
  • 13-ft. discharge hose
  • Pressure gauge
  • Filter wrench
  • AFC-705 fuel catalyst concentrate

Available filter elements include stainless steel screens, particulate and water block elements.
