Protecting Fuel Performance from Production to Consumption
At Advanced Fuel Solutions, we believe fuel quality doesn’t happen by accident; it’s the result of proactive maintenance, disciplined handling, and informed decision-making. That’s why we’re sharing a complimentary Liquid Fuels Handling Guide designed for marine, rail, transportation, and heating oil markets.
It is a comprehensive resource for professionals working with liquid fuels from production to consumption. It details best practices for maintaining fuel quality and provides invaluable fuel-handling and troubleshooting tips for those in the field.
Why this guide matters.
Today’s fuels—including Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), Biodiesel, Renewable Diesel, and Bioheat® blends—are highly advanced and deliver outstanding performance. But as our guide explains, meeting ASTM specifications is just the baseline. True reliability requires going beyond minimum standards through proper storage, sampling, ongoing monitoring, blending, and a solid fuel additive strategy.
What you’ll learn.
From preventing water contamination and microbial growth to managing cold-weather operability and optimizing blending infrastructure, this guide provides practical, field-ready best practices, including:
Clear explanations of ASTM specifications for diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and blended fuels
Proven fuel purchasing and sampling protocols
Storage tank maintenance strategies that reduce contamination risk
Cold weather handling guidance for biodiesel and renewable diesel
Blending best practices for consistent, on-spec performance
Troubleshooting steps for engine shutdowns and fuel-related equipment issues
An operability event worksheet for real-world diagnostics
