2. Keep the flex staff adapter at the bottom of the tank and slowly
sweep back and forth collecting all contaminants from the bottom of
the tank.
3. The Tank Sweeper
™
will remove the bottom contents of the tank
where the majority of fuel contaminants exist, i.e., water, crude,
algae and rust. If a badly contaminated tank is expected, you must
run the cleaning through the filter housing with the filter installed.
The Tank Sweeper
™
operator should move the flex staff back and
forth across the bottom of the tank moving the stick when the oil is
clear in the filter housing. You will see it turn black. Then when that
spot is clean, it will turn red. You should now move the staff to
another spot at the bottom of the tank. Repeat this sweeping function
until only clean fuel is removed.
FILTERING AND BLENDING THE FUEL
A great feature of the Sweeper™ is its ability to return the
contaminated fuel clean and filtered to the same or a new oil tank.
1. Install the outlet hose in the tank into which you want to transfer the
cleaned fuel.
NOTE: Observe above warnings.
2. Insert flex staff into one hole at the top of the tank and insert the
outlet hose into another hole at the top of the tank.
NOTE # 1: Depending upon what contaminants are present when
using the hose and how well it is cleaned afterwards determines how
long the filter housing remains clear.
NOTE# 2: After transferring or filtering the fuel, drain both the intake
and the discharge hoses. Cleaning of the hoses after use is necessary
to maintain its longevity. When ready, allow the hoses to gravity
drain. Once the hoses have been drained, hang them away from the
sun over a pail or a bucket to catch any additional residue.
