Fueltec Model 955SS 35 GPM / 2100 GPH System for Gasoline & Diesel
• In operation the system pulls fluid from the fuel tank bottom by a vacuum created by the fuel pump.
• A bag type filter is first to remove rust, sludge, and solid contaminates from the tank bottom fluid which
may also contain water.
• The fuel/water mix leaves the fuel pump under pressure and is forced through a filter/ coalescer where
the tiny water droplets are made larger and separate from the fuel. This type of water separator is
commonly used on aircraft jet fuel.
• The Teflon separator prevents the water droplets from traveling with the fuel. The water falls to the
bottom of the water trap.
• A clear sight tube allows you to see the level of the water that has been separated.
• With the system running; you can open a valve and send the water to a waste container and the clean
fuel back to the fuel storage tank.
• The water level in the sight tube stops rising when all of the water has been vacuumed and separated
from the fuel storage tank.
• You can separate and remove one ounce or 1,000 gallons without stopping the system.
Fueltec’s Quality First:
• Stainless steel filter housings to resist the acids found in today's diesel and ethanol
blended gasoline.
• Filtration down to one micron, water removal to less than 100 parts per million.
• Meets engine manufacturers clean fuel requirements.
• Air operated diaphragm fuel pump intrinsically safe for all fuels.
• Static grounding reel for safety in class one areas
• Variable speed control to avoid phase separation or emulsification
The 955SS System has three modes of operation:
1. Bulk Fluid Transfer without Water Separation or Filtration is used when several inches of wa-
ter are measured on the tank bottom. This water can be pumped directly into a container without
wasting filters or having to empty the Separator water trap.
2. Fuel/Water Separation and Filtration mode is used to separate the remaining water and filter the
fuel after the bulk water has been removed.
3. Filtration without Water Separation can be done at a higher flow rate than with water separa-
tion. At 60 psi a sludge buster nozzle will loosen tank bottom sludge then the particulates in suspen-
sion are collected in the bag filter. (see page three)

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECATIONS
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH
1.This fuel polishing system should NEVER BE OPERATED inside a truck cargo body, enclosed trailer, or within y (50) feet of
an operang or hot engine, motor or fuel dispenser.
2. All work must comply with the latest issue of the Naonal Electrical Code (NFPA 70), the Code for Motor Fuel
Dispensing Facilies and Repair Garages (NFPA 30A), and any European, naonal, state, and local code requirements that apply.
3. When servicing unit, use non-sparking tools and use cauon when removing or installing equipment to avoid gener-
ang a spark.
4. To protect yourself and others from serious injury, death, or substanal property damage, carefully read and follow all
warnings and instrucons in this manual.

Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels and used filters cause vapors. All used
filters should be promptly placed in an approved safety container until disposed of.
Even filling air compressor fuel tanks will cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the work area.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of rendering first aid be present during operation. Familiarize
yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, while working around fuel vapors. This information is
available from the American Red Cross. Always advise other personnel about where you will be working, and cau-
tion them not to activate power tools or engines while you are working with fuel filtration equipment. Use the OSHA
Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to OSHA documentation.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials may present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that you clean hands after handling
equipment. Do not place any equipment in the mouth.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH.
FIRE HAZARD!
Do NOT use power tools (Class I Division I and Class I Division II) during the operation or maintenance of equip-
ment. Sparking could ignite fuel or vapors, resulting in fire.
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HAZARD!
Wear appropriate safety equipment during operation or maintenance of equipment. Avoid exposure to fuel and va-
pors. Prolonged exposure to fuel may cause severe skin irritations and possible burns.
