CF50E OPERATION:

The filter module’s variable speed pump creates a vacuum in the filter housing drawing the

contaminated fluid from the tank bottom, through the six bag filters where the solid contaminates

are removed. The cleaned fluid is then transferred by the pump through the water separator

module where the water is removed from the fuel down to less than 50 PPM.. The clean dry fuel

is then returned to the storage tank.

This system is designed to clean tanks and polish diesel fuel in

storage tanks up to 50,000 gallons. However the variable flow rate pump

system will prevent emulsification when cleaning storage tanks as small as fifty gallons.

• Flat free 13” wheels

Operation:

The CF50E water separator module is designed to separate free and emulsified water down to

50 PPM when connected to the filter-pump module discharge port.

Place a two inch suction stinger into the storage tank that you will be polishing, connect supply

hose to the supply port on the filter module, connect 2”x 12’ hose from filter mod. to the supply

port on the separator mod. Then connect 2” x 25’ hose from separator mod. Discharge port back

to the storage tank. After all hoses are connected, fill filter housing with five (5) gallons of clean

diesel fuel. Open manual air bleed valve and start pump in low flow setting. When air stops

escaping from manual air bleed, close the valve.

Featuring High Capacity Filtration

Separating water from fuel down to 50 PPM at 50 GPM

requires a state-of-the-art separator system.

The CF50E utilizes five coalescer/filters (white) and two water separators

(green)

The first stage filter/coalescer removes more particulates with an inside to

outside flow then coalesces tiny water droplets into larger drops which

stream to the systems water trap. The third stage water separator prevents

the water from flowing with the fuel with a Teflon barrier. This is the same

process and technology that is used extensively on the purification of mili-

tary and domestic jet fuel.

WATER SEPARATOR AIR BLEED

The Model CF50E is equipped with an automatic and manual air bleed valves.

CAUTION: It is required that all air is removed from the water

separator housing for safe efficient operation.

Whenever the water separator function is used:

1. First open the manual air bleed valve which is located on the top cover of the water

separator housing.

2. Place 3-way fluid flow selector valve handle in a vertical position as shown on page

9 of this manual. This will direct fluid from the pump to the water separator

housing.

Fueltec’s Fuel Polishing = water and

particulate removal

Fuel is relatively clean when it leaves the refinery, as it’s trans-

ported downstream it can easily become contaminated with

water, rust, silica, and bacteria. As a result the fuel falls below

the engine manufacturers recommended cleanliness levels.

Fuel in storage becomes even more contaminated with bacteri-

al and fungi growth.

CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HAZARD!

Wear appropriate safety equipment during operation or

maintenance of equipment. Avoid exposure to fuel and vapors.

Prolonged exposure to fuel may cause severe skin irritations and

possible burns.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense

when operating or maintaining the system. Do not operate or

maintain the system while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating or maintaining the system may result in serious

personal injury or death.

Dress properly while operating this system. Do not expose bare

skin or eyes to fuels. Prolonged contact with fuel can damage the

skin. Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or

safety glasses. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves,

and fall protection when appropriate.

BEFORE YOU START FUEL POLISHING!

Establish and secure a safe work area:

Mark work area with orange colored safety cones placed in a

radius of at least forty (40’) feet from fuel polishing equipment,

fuel containers, and fuel tank openings.

© LENZ 2019


Secure Work Area

25 ft.

Keep Generator at least twenty five feet (25’) horizontally and four

feet (4’) vertical from fuel tank cleaning equipment, fuel contain-

ers, and fuel tank openings.

At least one portable fire extinguisher having a rating of not less

than 20–B units shall be located not less than 25 feet, nor more

than 75 feet, from the FUEL POLISHING SYSTEM.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark

work areas can cause accidents.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating this system.

Distractions can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at

a safe distance of at least forty (40’) feet from the work area.

• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other

mechanical hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards

below the work surface hidden from the operator’s view that may be

unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property

damage.

• Be alert of your surroundings. Using your

system in confined work areas may put you

dangerously close to unsafe conditions.

• Place soiled filters in an approved container

for disposal.

• Store and label separated water in steel

drums for disposal by a licensed hauler

© LENZ 2019


FUEL SPILLS

Before starting fuel polishing but after your fuel polishing system

is primed with fuel: Look for fluid leaking from but limited to

pumps, hoses, hose couplings, filters, filter housings, valves, and

sight tubes.

If any small leaks are found, stop the pump, close all valves,

eliminate any ignition and heat sources, clear area of bystanders,

and clean up any fluid with an approved absorbent that does not

react with spilled product. Do NOT use combustible materials

such as sawdust.

Place used absorbent in an approved container. Flush spill area.

Large spills or leaks: contact emergency services, stop pump if

safe to do so, clear the area of bystanders, follow instructions of

emergency responders.

Fueltec Systems exceed the engine manufacturers recommended

ISO 18/16/13 cleanliness target.

ISO Fuel Requirements

The standard established by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) pro-

vides a common measurement system that engine and

fuel system manufacturers use to designate acceptable particle levels in the fuel system.

Determining fuel cleanliness requirements includes the

measurement of

both particle size and

count. ISO 4406 utiliz-

numbers (18/16/13) to

identify the particle

count per milliliter at

4, 6 and 14 micron siz-
