The importance of cleaning the fuel filter of diesel generator sets is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

 

1. Prevent impurities from entering the combustion chamber: The main function of the fuel filter is to filter impurities and metal particles in the fuel entering the engine combustion chamber, preventing these impurities from entering the combustion system and causing damage to the engine. Keeping the fuel clean can reduce the wear of the engine and extend its service life.

 

2. Reduce failures and maintenance costs: If there are impurities in the fuel, it may cause problems such as injector blockage, wear of the injector nozzle, and corrosion of engine parts. These problems will not only affect the normal operation of the generator, but may also lead to higher maintenance costs. Regular fuel filter cleaning can prevent these problems from occurring, thereby saving maintenance costs.

 

3. Ensure the normal operation of the generator in an emergency: In an emergency, the reliable operation of the generator is important. If the fuel is contaminated, the generator may not work properly, which may have serious consequences. By regularly cleaning the fuel filter, you can ensure the normal operation of the generator in an emergency.

 

4. Extend the life of the diesel generator set: Impurities in the fuel can cause damage to the engine and cause its performance to deteriorate. Regular fuel filter cleaning can reduce these damages, thereby extending the overall life of the generator‌.
