AJX - Diesel Kleen

[Kerry Alexander]

I have Diesel Kleen now to add when I change filters.
Has anyone used the AJX to clean the tanks and then add to fuel.
And then use Diesel Kleen to top off the filters?

If you are using the Ajx you don't really need the diesel kleen it won't hurt anyting but if you use it all the time you be fine and won't need the diesel kleen.

AJX is the stuff. The cleaner does the number on the algae and the maint keeps the algae from growing back. One qt treats 500 gal. Costs about the same as a big racor cartridge.

No and No AJX work with a micro organisim and break it down so much it will not clog your filters. For NY area go to www.ajxne.com

Dan I have minimal issues with the fuel tanks ( not seeing any problems but catching sludge in the filters after 20 hours ) I have added Biocide and diesel Kleen and its looking good but is there a better maintainance additive from AJX? Just curious since its always good to know the options.

Dan put me on to AJX two years ago. After I did my conversion from gas to diesel, I had all kinds of problems. Racors had to be changed every three hours and the secondaries ($58 a pop) were clogging too. Since I have used AJX, I change the filters once a year (about 80-90 hrs.) Now, the fuel delivery company I use adds it in so I no longer have to figure out how much to put in.

Hey Scott little slow here on Vacation now, will check in every now and then.
If you have minimal problems you can go with the AJX TMS. Thats the maintence and let it sit. It will clean your tank it just takes longer but also will help with smoke, starts and increase cetane. Your filters should go for hundreds of hrs with no crud. All this stuff about bulk filters and crud in a tank because of sitting is BS. There is no reason for this my tanks are 1967 and are spotless, had my hand in there last spring so I know. Also did my oil burner at home before I left screen on pump was still white. Tank is over 30 years old and always was filled with black slime and clumps. This came out this way after two years runing time.

Aloha Dan

Give me shout when you get home. I may look to add some. My usual is to change the fuel filters every 25 hours as the PO removed the engine mounted ones and I run 3 Micron as my primary,secondary and finals. ( yes its only one filter but that sounds good) I figure if I check them every 25 hours why not just change them since they are cheap in comparrison to the alternative. Its a 10 minute job and cost less than $20.00

By the way to me checking is to remove the element and look for buildup. I dont trust the bowl for determining the level of creu.

well I just drove out to Central Moriches to get both the TCS and TCM (from Across the river in NJ). Almost had to go out to Montauk . I have just over 1/4 of a tank o te main and intend to add it Saturday. Hopefully by the following weekend we can fill the main for the winter. BTW, any ideas on our keel tank? It holds 75 gallons and I don't know when it was filled last (might have to wait until the polisher is installed and pump it through to the main?)
