  • Page 6: System Operation

    Note: Never restrict the flow on the suction side of an MTC; e.g. by using a smaller ID hose or pipe attachment. This will lead to excessive pump load, noisy operation, and ultimately pump damage. The MTC-X system has two modes of operation: Bypass Mode and Fine Filtration Mode. Bypass Mode: In bypass mode, the fuel bypasses the system’s Fine Filters only to be ran through the Primary Filter for the bulk removal...
  • Page 7: Phase 1

    Phase 1 AXI recommends 3 phases to successfully polish a fuel tank. This will ensure all contaminates are removed and the fuel is in optimal condition. The goal of Phase One is to remove any free water and sludge from the bottom of the tank without mixing the water into an emulsified state within the fuel.
  • Page 8: Phase 3

    Phase 3 Phase Three is the most important phase in meeting specific cleanliness codes. Unlike the Primary Filter, the spin-on Fine Filter typically uses an absolute rated media. Absolute filters have a very high efficiency and will ensure that fuel leaving the system is clean to specification.
  • Page 9: Primary Inspection

    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 to the shipper. Checklist If the packing crate shows signs of damage inspect the system for damage. Check the entire system for damage that could indicate internal mechanical or electrical problems.
  • Page 10: Priming The System

    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 can occur. Priming Procedure Before turning on the pump make sure the entire suction side of the system (suction hose, primary filter/water separator, plumbing, and pump) is primed and filled with oil/diesel fuel.
  • Page 11: Maintenance

    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 a day and five (5) days a week. Preventative Maintenance Prior to performing the maintenance procedure ensure that: 1.
  • Page 12: Servicing The Fine Filter(S)

    Clogged filter elements restrict the flow of fuel, resulting in the system’s Pressure Gauge indicating a pressure spike. The MTC-X feature a total of three Pressure Gauges. Two gauges display the individual pressure reading of each fine filter. The third Pressure Gauge displays the overall system pressure. If either of the fine filter Pressure Gauges has their needle in the red, it is time to change the corresponding filter.
