Hi Jesus,
The process is call Fuel Polishing.
It is a pretty simple process when you have the right equipment. We do it all the time on Diesel tanks because algae growth in hot environments is a major concern.
A filter is set up with a pump. A hose runs from the tank to the filter and back in. As the filter clogs up, it is cleaned/replaced. The return hose is used to stir up the fuel to make sure that the bottoms get cleaned. The fuel just keeps recycling until you see that the filters are clean. In most cases, with diesel fuel, we will suck the fuel out of the tank into a “Bladder” to be sure to get to the Algae floating on the top of the fuel. Then the Bladder fuel is filtered back into the tank. This cost of this process for both Gas and Diesel fuel is far less than the cost of repairs to the engines, not to mention the safety factors involved with being out on the ocean and having the engines shut down.
I would have to think that in Panama and other countries, that this would be a good investment for business. There are several companies that sell the equipment.
My recommendation is to Google “Fuel Polishing” to find those companies and request information on pricing.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi Capt. Steve,
I’m trying to know if there’s a simple way to clean or maintenance the fuel tabks of a small boat with aluminium tanks, no more than 150gln each tank.
In Panama the fuel is not so clean, and sometimes owner’s let them go down so much deterioring the fuel inyectors and line due the fuel polution.
Is it any way or equipment for this labor?, where can I buy it?

I hope you ca help me with this question,

Best Regards,

Capt Steve,

Hey, we met at the fins game the other night-parked next to each other and sat in the same row.
I wanted to make contact, show you what we do in case you or your customers may need this kind of work someday.
You can check our website, but we service and install Wesmar bow thrusters and stabilizers, ZF Mathers electronic controls, Cruiseair a/c, Uline, Subzero and Norcold appliances, Lewmar windlasses, etc. We are affiliated with the BOW stores and DS Hull Co. if you know of them.

I may miss the Houston game, if I’m not there, see you at the Denver game (if you have season tickets that is). I bought season tickets off of Ebay this year.

Take care,

Jim

Hi,
Thanks for commenting on my blog website.
I noticed that you are in the insurance business. I mention that because, as you can see from this post that people come to my site, not because of my company “YachtXperts, inc” but because of the information that my site provides. As you know from your industry, people buy from people. But who are you when so many agents and producers are running around to every networking event, every meeting, every quote request? Producers are one in a million. I know, because my wife has spent over 25 years in the Insurance industry with companies like Zurich Small Business, Crum and Forster, State Auto and Kempers working as a Marketing manager and working with Agency’s like yours. “Who are you?” becomes the first question out of a potential clients mouth.
Watch this video and you will see why this question is so important. http://youtu.be/ylGVFxBwri8
People will now Google your name to see who you are and if there is nothing out there or you are buried way down, they go on to someone that they can find information about.
Take this site: http://www.jamiesmith.biz She started this site 2 months ago and has dramatically increased her business from across the nation. My site is another great example because eventhough I have my business site http://www.YachtXperts.com, I use this site to show Who I Am. I can give you numerous others to show the point.
You can use your business card with Your website address on it, along with the agents, and say “learn about who I am by going to my personal site” You will become the expert above the others.
You should take a look at our system. A custom site created in less than 24 hours and ready for you to start giving out. Contact me back and we can discuss what we have to offer with the My Branding System system.
By the way, it is also a great way to become an affiliate, either at the Agency Level or producer level and earn residual income, which we can all use, while helping others become more successful in this day of Social Media.
Please feel free to call me at 954.295.1301 or email at Steve@YachtXperts.com
