Fuel water separator additives help remove water from fuel systems to prevent engine damage. They enhance the efficiency of water separation by coalescing water droplets for easier removal. These additives are commonly used in diesel and marine engines to maintain optimal performance.

Key specifications and technical properties of Fuel Water Separator Additives and Fuel Systems:

Size: Typically available in 8 oz to 1-gallon containers for additives; separator housings range from 2" to 6" in diameter.

Grade: Meets ASTM D975, ISO 4406, and SAE J1488 standards for diesel fuel.

Viscosity: 5-50 cSt at 40°C, depending on formulation.

Buoyancy: Hydrophobic properties ensure water separation efficiency of 90-99%.

Material: Additives contain surfactants and polymers; separator housings are made of aluminum, stainless steel, or composite materials.

Filtration Rating: 2-30 microns for particulate removal.

Operating Temperature: -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C).

Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to diesel, biodiesel (up to B20), and ethanol blends.

Density: 0.8-0.9 g/cm³ for additives; separator systems vary by design.

Pressure Rating: 10-150 psi for separator housings.
