Steps for Correctly Cleaning The Generator Oil Tank

Top Power, a generator manufacturer in Guangxi, has summarized based on experience that if there is too much sediment in the fuel tank, a large amount of impurities will enter the oil pipe, accelerating the clogging of the filter and the wear of precision components, which will affect the normal use of the diesel generator set. Cleaning the diesel generator tank is to keep the tank clean and to make the diesel cleaner. Regularly removing sediment from the fuel tank is one of the important tasks in the maintenance and repair of diesel generator sets. So what are the correct steps to clean the diesel generator fuel tank? Below, Guangxi generator manufacturer Dingbo Electric will explain to you.

1. Unscrew the oil tank drain plug, drain the remaining oil, and then install the drain plug.

2. Remove the fuel tank cap and filter, add fuel to the tank, with the fuel level about 15-20mm from the bottom of the tank.

3. Then connect the compressed air hose to the specially designed spray head. Spray nozzles are generally made of metal tubes with an outer diameter of 12mm and a length of about 250mm. One end is welded and blocked, and 4-5 small holes of 1mm are drilled. The other end is connected to a flexible hose.

4. Insert the hose with spray head into the bottom of the fuel tank.

5. Wrap cotton yarn with a clean cloth to seal the fuel inlet, turn on the compressed air switch, and maintain a pressure of 380-600kPa for flushing.

6. After flushing the oil tank with the spray head, immediately remove the drain plug and drain the dirty oil. Repeat this process 2-3 times to achieve the goal of removing dirt.

7. After cleaning the fuel tank, check the fuel filter screen for dirt or damage and dispose of it at any time.

8. Check if the fuel tank cap vent valve is unobstructed. If the valve spring has no elasticity or is corroded, it should be repaired or replaced.

9. Finally, fill up the fuel and remove any air from the oil circuit.
