SUPPORTING
FUEL CONDITIONING PRODUCTS
Alongside the Fuel Conditioning Programme IPU provides a range of supporting products that can help keep your fuel clean and dry. These include vent traps that protect fuel tanks from atmospheric moisture, Racor turbine filters and spin-on filters that are fitted onto an engine to provide protection from water and solid contamination and the Fuel Purifiner (FP) which is the ‘first line of defence’ removing slugs of water, dirt, sludge and grit.
If you have generators, pumps or plant, can you be sure of the condition of the fuel going into your equipment? If you are using fuel provided to you on site, can you see that it is contaminated?
Poor fuel storage, bad fuel transfer and housekeeping practices, or simple human error, can easily result in water, sand, grit, rust etc in fuel, all of these can harm your engine.
If you cannot be sure of the quality of the fuel going into your tractors, excavators, generators or pumps the engines that power them could be at risk and you could end up with expensive repairs and downtime.
Contaminated fuel can be incredibly damaging to diesel engines, especially those fitted with the latest generation of high pressure fuel injection systems. Water is especially troublling as it will cause serious performance and reliability problems.
Protect your engine from contaminated diesel and extend the life of your equipment.

IPU Fuel Purifiner
The IPU Fuel Purifiner (FP) will remove water and solid contaminants from even the dirtiest, most contaminated fuel. When fitted in conjunction with a conventional fuel water separator, they will work together to ensure that your engine is protected from harmful water and particles. The FP acts as the ‘first line of defence’ removing slugs of water and dirt, sludge and grit allowing the filter/separator to filter the fuel unhindered. The IPU Fuel Purifiner is simple to fit and is an ideal original equipment fuel cleaning product for agricultural, construction, marine and rental equipment applications. It’s perfect for retro-fitting too.
This on-vehicle diesel fuel filter system is available in three flow rate sizes.
IPU Purifiner Model Options
- FP100 – For engines up to approx 100hp. Maximum flow rate = 1.9 litres per minute. Dimensions – 70mm diameter x 170mm long.
- FP200 – For engines up to approx 200hp. Maximum flow rate = 6 litres per minute. Dimensions – 115mm diameter x 200mm long.
- FP500 – For engines up to approx 500hp. Maximum flow rate = 10 litres per minute. Dimensions – 70mm diameter x 320mm long.
For engines with a higher HP rating the FP500 can be installed in parallel. For example an 800hp engine should have 2 x FP500 in parallel, a 1250hp engine should have 3 x FP500 in parallel etc
When the fuel enters the unit the baffles in the system immediately induce a swirling action, which causes water and solid contaminants to separate out of the fuel. The contaminants sink to the base of the unit where they are retained – the contaminants are simply drained and disposed of when the system is full. An optional sensor can be supplied to indicate this. The sensor can be linked to the IPU communication systems so that drain requirements can be identified from any PC, globally.

IPU Vent trap tank breather
Even with good fuel housekeeping procedures, water and particle contamination can get into storage tanks through the atmosphere. Night-to-day temperature changes cause tanks to slowly inhale and exhale. As biodiesel is hygroscopic it absorbs water from any new air it comes into contact with. The inhale-exhale process also enables dust and other wear particles to come into contact with your fuel. To protect your diesel, we recommend installing an IPU Vent TRAP (Thermally Reactive Advanced Protection) tank breather which removes moisture from incoming air and, during the exhale cycle, passes dry air through the vent trap purging moisture from the filter.
