Tornado

1. Gross Particulate removal:
   The Tornado features a proprietary duplex bag filter assembly that removes particulate down to 10 microns in size. This duplex system allows for continuous tank cleaning with its alternate chamber flow configuration. One chamber is always in use while the other is being changed out.
   
   
2. Fine Particulate removal:
   The second stage is a high capacity filter element that filters down to 1/2 micron. At this level of ultra-fine filtration, particulate and even the micro-organisms are filtered out.
   
   
3. Water removal:
   The Tornado’s final stage of filtration removes water using a coalescer/separator filter combination that removes 99%+ of water from fuel at a rate of 15 gpm. This filter combination meets the API 1581 standard and is the same water removal process used for refueling military aircraft and the commercial airliners you fly on.

High volume flow rates / Variable Speed Processing:

The Tornado has a variable speed pump system. Simply turn the speed knob on the control panel to vary fuel flow rates from 1 to 15 gpm. At start-up it is best to run between 1-7 gpm. Once the gross contaminants have been removed the flow rate can be sped up to 15 gpm to allow for a powerful final flush.

Clean fuel depends on a clean tank

When a tank is contaminated, any new fuel that is added will become contaminated by existing sludge (micro-organisms, water, and sediment) settled on the tank bottom.

The Tornado completely cleans the fuel and the tank - simultaneously.
