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.
Phase 1: AXI recommends 3 phases to successfully polish a fuel tank. This will ensure all water is removed from the fuel, particulate is removed, and the fuel is in an optimal condition. The goal of Phase One is to remove any free water and sludge on the bottom of the tank without mixing the water into an emulsified state within the fuel.
Then, switch off the pump for final polishing. 4. Now is the time to add AXI International AFC-705 Fuel Catalyst in a dose of 1 : 2500 or 1 gal of AFC-7010 for 2500 gallons of fuel. Higher doses of AFC-705 may be necessary depending on condition of fuel.

7. Water Alarm: If significant water accumulates in the AXI FP-90 Water Separator, operation will be halted by the Smart Filtration Controller and the alarm light will illuminate on the Smart Filtration Controller. Using the Water Separator Drain Valve, drain the water from the Water Separator into an appropriate container, and resume operation.
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 Priming Procedure There is no need to fill the system with fuel prior to startup. The diaphragm pump is self-priming. It is however very important to prevent pump damage by slowly starting the pump with low air pressure values, between 20 to 30 PSI, especially if there is no liquid in the pump.
Connect air supply line and turn on air supply valve. 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 text box.
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 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: The pressure gauges on the fine filter vessel show the pressure drop over the filter. 20-25 PSI indicates when the filter element should be replaced.
Servicing Bag Filter Note: Always have an adequate supply of filter elements on hand. Changing Bag Filter: The vacuum gauges on the bag filter vessel show the pressure drop over the filter. 15”HG vacuum indicates the bag filter element should be replaced. 1.
