JoeFilter
Joe Filter is a field service, job-site maintenance
tool used to clean fuel in long-term storage in small tanks.
Typical applications are generator base tanks, generator day
tanks, and small bulk storage tanks to 2000 gallons. Joe Filter
is fully portable and self-contained. Joe is easily moved at
the job-site by one person using his built-in wheels and handle
and can be off-loaded from a service truck via a lift-gate or
ramp.
Joe Filter provides complete fuel filtration and conditioning
with his built-in 5-micron, spin-on particulate filter and 2
PPM water coalescing and separating filter. A 6-gallon holding
tank is included for draining of the separation canister.
Joe includes a 5 GPM, cast-iron, high-lift pump and pump control
panel. Water detection, filter differential pressure and holding
tank full alarms are provided.
A selection of hoses and wands are supplied with Joe Filter.
The service tech need only access the tank through an available
port and insert the suction and return hose/wand. The circulation
pump can then be run continuously until the tech is satisfied
with fuel condition. Typically, at least one-quarter of the tank
is circulated, drawing from the tank sump. The pump will automatically
stop and an alarm will be activated if the water collection canister
fills or the particulate filter differential pressure limit is
reached. The tech can then either drain the collection sump or
replace the particulate filter and resume filtration. A spare
spin-on particulate element is included.
With modern diesel engines, fuel quality is paramount and poor
fuel quality is a prime cause of generator set unreliability.
Joe Filter is the ideal field service assistant for the multitude
of generator sets equipped with integral base tanks or day tanks
where fuel has been stored long-term and may have degraded from
water and particulate contamination and the resultant growth
of algae and bacteria and rust formation.

How Long Should Joe Work?
Most fuel contaminants will settle from still fuel resulting in a stratification of fuel with contaminants concentrated in the lower strata. Therefore, it is necessary to circulate and filter the lower 25-33% of the tank contents. Using the included wands and hoses, Joe will draw fuel from the bottom of the tank and return fuel into the upper portion with minimal disturbance of the settled strata resulting in good filtration performance and removal of contaminants and water.
Joe has a 5 GPM pump. So, for a 200-gallon base tank, to circulate 50 gallons, Joe only needs to work 10 minutes. You don’t have to go that easy on Joe. He’ll work non-stop and needs no breaks.
