Also known asfuel cleaningfuel conditioning

Fuel Polishing is the process of filtering and cleaning stored diesel to remove water, sediment and microbial contamination that accumulate over time. Because standby fuel can sit for long periods, regular polishing preserves fuel quality and prevents filter clogging or engine failure when generators are called upon during an outage.
