Fuel Quality Testing, Management, and Treatment Services
Poor fuel quality leads to increased downtime and risk, costly maintenance and repairs, increased operational costs, and ultimately, dissatisfied customers.
Backed by science and nearly 30 years of industry experience, Advanced Fuel Solutions offers a field-proven fuel testing, management, and treatment program that helps you detect issues early, treat them effectively, and maintain peak performance.
How Healthy Is Your Fuel?
Even when fuel meets “spec” at delivery, it can degrade as it moves through distribution and storage systems. Over time, water, microbial growth, sludge, and particulates can quietly build up, causing:
Fuel Filter Plugging & Injector Fouling
Increased Regens
Decreased Performance & Reliability
Increased Maintenance & Repair Costs
Tank Rust & Corrosion
Without regular testing, these problems often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Assess your fuel's health by scheduling a FREE Certified Fuel Quality Checkup™.

FAQs
They are conditioners designed to improve fuel stability by reducing water contamination, controlling microbial growth, and preventing corrosion.
But additives don’t just “treat” fuel — they optimize it, ensuring equipment runs cleaner, longer, and more reliably in all conditions. By improving fuel performance, additives help extend equipment lifespans, reduce downtime, and lower operational costs and risk.
At Advanced Fuel Solutions, customized fuel additives are part of our comprehensive ACT Fuel Quality Management Program: Analyze, Consult, Treat.
Poor fuel quality can damage equipment and storage tanks, increasing maintenance and repair costs and ultimately reducing customer satisfaction. Since contaminated fuel doesn’t always present with visible symptoms, you should include routine testing in your fuel quality management strategy.
It depends on your system's age and cleanliness. We encourage you to contact us to discuss a recommended frequency based on your unique system and goals.
The most common fuel contaminants include water, microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, and fungi), sediment, sludge, and oxidation byproducts.
