Diesel Service FAQs

How can I improve the fuel efficiency of my fleet's diesel vehicles and equipment?

Prime Diesel Solutions provides fuel optimization services aimed at enhancing the fuel efficiency of diesel-powered vehicles and equipment. By implementing advanced fuel-saving techniques and conducting thorough engine diagnostics, our team can help you maximize fuel economy and reduce operational costs for your fleet.

Why is annual fuel testing and sampling recommended, and how does it complement fuel polishing?

Organizations like the NFPA and The Joint Commission mandate annual fuel testing and sampling, especially for stored fuel used in critical equipment such as fire pumps and backup generators. Testing helps identify contamination or degradation in the fuel, prompting the need for fuel polishing to restore the fuel to the required specifications. Through a combination of testing, sampling, and fuel polishing, fuel quality is maintained, and engine performance is optimized for reliable operation.

How do your specialized services differ from your standard diesel engine services?

Essentially, there is no significant difference. Our specialized services cater to specific equipment categories, including agricultural, construction, and oil field equipment, generators, fire pumps, and more. Despite the specialized focus, all these equipment types undergo our standard diesel engine services to ensure peak performance and reliability.

Why should I schedule a load bank test for my generator?

Load bank testing is a critical aspect of generator maintenance, serving two primary purposes. Firstly, it confirms that your generator is capable of carrying the necessary load to keep your critical functions running in the event of a power grid failure, and can sustain this load for a significant period. Secondly, it addresses issues related to the generator operating at less than 30% of its capacity, ensuring the engine reaches appropriate operational temperature and pressure levels.

What are the common issues that generators may encounter, and how can they be addressed?

We offer generator maintenance and repair services to address a wide range of common issues, including fuel system problems, electrical component failures, and cooling system malfunctions. Our team can troubleshoot and resolve these issues to keep your generators running smoothly and reliably.
