The STS 6030 Programmable Automated Fuel Maintenance System is designed to optimize and maintain diesel fuel indefinitely. Adding an STS 6030 system will remove particulate, separate water, and condition stored fuel. This innovative process stabilizes diesel and bio-fuels, eliminates microbial contamination, and ensures clean reliable fuel at all times.

System Operation !WARNING! This system is not meant for use with gasoline or any other flammable liquids having a flash point less than 100°F (37.8° C). Use with gasoline or any flammable liquids at a temperature exceeding their flash point presents an immediate explosion and fire hazard. Pump Operation Apply control power to unit.
Alarms The system is equipped with an AXI International Smart Filtration Controller. System and alarm status are displayed on the industrial control panel (on the door) via indicator lights, and on the text box on the electronic controller. Alarms featured on the system include: •...
Primary Inspection Upon arrival, the system and accessories must be visually inspected before installation. Improper handling during shipping may cause physical or electrical problems. Immediately report or note any damages (also concealed ones) to the shipper. Checklist ❑ If the packing crate shows signs of damage, inspect the enclosure for damage. ❑...
Installation !IMPORTANT! It is recommended that only qualified, experienced personnel, familiar with this type of equipment, who have read and understood all the instructions in this manual should install, operate, and maintain the system. Mounting The unit is a totally enclosed system, and should be permanently wall mounted on a hard, level surface. Use provided mounting feet for proper fastening.
Plumbing Use proper quality approved fuel line materials with at least 2” (5.1 cm) inner diameter on the suction side from the tank and at least 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) inner diameter on the return/discharge side back to the tank. For long suction side plumbing runs, it is recommended to install oversized pipe, or 2”...
Important Installation Precautions The suction line of the system should be independent and separate from the suction line of the engine. If that is not possible, appropriate valves must be installed to completely separate the system from the engine fuel system to prevent any possible interference with safe engine operation.
Controller (SFC-50 or SFC-55) Programming the Timer 1. Please make sure the Emergency Stop button is not engaged, the key switch set to “OFF” and push the “ALARM RESET” button on the control panel. 2. When power is first applied to the system, the display of the PLC will show (blinking) date and time. 3.
Priming the System The pump supplied with the system is NOT automatically self-priming and must not be run dry. !WARNING! If the pump is allowed to run without fuel, pump damage will occur. The pump head of the system is shipped from the factory filled with #2 Diesel to facilitate initial lubrication. This will not eliminate the necessity to prime the complete system.
Disengage the “EMERGENCY STOP” button by turning clockwise until the button pops out. Reset the alarm by pushing the “ALARM RESET” button on the control panel. Note: If any of the above described alarm test procedures fail or if any alarm trip value deviates, immediately contact AXI International.
Maintenance The system should be visually inspected and tested a minimum of every six (6) months according to the procedure below during light duty cycles. Monthly inspections are recommended for systems that are being used in excess of an average of eight (8) hours day and five (5) days a week.

Servicing Wye-Strainer Excessive debris in the Wye-strainer will result in pump shutdown and activate the alarm “HIGH VACUUM ALARM”.
Servicing Fine Filter The gauge will indicate maximum pressure during system operation. Clogging filter elements restrict the flow of fuel and the system’s pressure gauge will indicate a pressure drop. The gauge is mounted on top of the primary filter. At a differential pressure drop of 22 psi, the pump will automatically shut off and activate the “HIGH PRESSURE ALARM”...
Troubleshooting No fuel delivery Alarm “ NO FLOW ALARM” comes on or pump requires frequent re-priming 1. Pump does not run 2. Pump is not primed 1. Inoperative foot valve 3. Fuel supply line blocked 2. Inoperative check valve 4. Excessive lift 3.
