Kolor Kut paste will show the water level in the tank, and indicate how much water, and sludge, will have to be removed. Call AXI International for further information on other fuel sampling equipment.
ID “stinger”, or if the length of the suction hose is increased, reduce pump speed with the Speed Control Dial so that the vacuum gauge remains in the green color band. The system’s PLC controller will halt system operation automatically if the suction vacuum exceeds safe limits. Note: To adjust vacuum settings of MTC HC-300, please contact AXI International.

17. Observe System Priming. 18. Check for leaks or other abnormalities. 19. If anything deviates contact AXI International immediately Phase 2: After removing the bulk of the sludge and water from the tank into a separate container for disposal, the return hose is now inserted into the tank, ending Phase One.
Differential gauges are installed to show the pressure drop over each filter individually. 7. Now is the time to add AXI International AFC-710 Fuel Catalyst in a dose of 1 : 2500 or 1 gal of AFC-710 for 2500 gallons of fuel.
AFC Fuel Additive The use of AXI International AFC-705/710 Fuel Additive is an essential part of any tank cleaning and fuel polishing procedure, as AFC can more rapidly and efficiently decontaminate and clean the entire fuel system. The additive is best introduced into the process after Fine Filtration Mode.
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 system for damage. ❑...
Priming the System Note: The system is equipped with a positive displacement vane pump. It should never be run dry and started without the hoses attached and/or valves in the closed position. Failure to do so may damage the bypass valve and/or pump. Priming Procedure Before turning on the pump make sure the entire suction side of the MTC system (suction hose, separator, plumbing, pump, strainer …) is primed and filled with oil/diesel fuel.
Note: ALL other Speed Controller Control Pad Functions (Run, Stop, Forward, Reverse) are disabled. 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 LCD screen on PLC inside.
Maintenance ! IMPORTANT ! It is recommended that only qualified, experienced personnel, familiar with this equipment, who have read and understood all the instructions in this manual should install, operate and maintain the system. ! IMPORTANT ! Always disconnect the system from the electric power supply before working or servicing it.
1. 2 to 30 micron high efficiency particulate filter 2. 5 to 30 micron water block fine filter The AXI International Water Block removes entrained and emulsified water from fuel and oil. Changing Filters: Pending all butterfly valves are open, a differential pressure drop of 22 PSI, as shown by the differential pressure gauges on the final filters, indicates that the final filter elements of that vessel need to be changed.
Servicing Bag Filter Note: Always have an adequate supply of filter elements/bags on hand. Changing Bag Filters: At 15”HG vacuum, the bag filter elements should be replaced. 1. For a “no mess” bag filter change, the bag filter vessel should be pumped empty. To accomplish this, remove the suction “stinger”, or open atomspheric vent on top of “stinger”.
Safety Notes • The MTC Pump is designed to be used with diesel fuel and oils only. The pump is NOT designed for gasoline, alcohol or other explosive or corrosive liquids. • Please contact us if you are not sure if the liquid you are intending to polish and clean is compatible with the MTC system.
