SFM 1080

Solar Powered Fuel Maintenance System

The SFM Series Solar Powered Intelligent Fuel Maintenance System is designed to optimize and maintain diesel fuel 

indefinitely by removing particulate and water in stored fuel. Powered by a solar panel and 12V DC battery, this innovative 

process stabilizes diesel and bio-fuels, eliminates microbial contamination, and ensures clean reliable fuel at all times.  The 

SFM Series Solar Powered Intelligent Fuel Maintenance System is ideal for stored fuel in remote locations where grid power 

isn’t readily available.

SFM Series Systems are designed around a self-priming 80 

GPH nickel-plated brass gear pump. Quality filtration 

components are connected using corrosion-resistant 

Stainless Steel plumbing.  A pressure gauge is installed on 

the filter housing to ensure optimal filter usage by showing 

remaining filter life.  Available filter elements include stainless 

steel mesh filter, particulate, and water block elements.

Fuel has a limited shelf-life, and even “fresh fuel” could 

contain water, sediment, and microbes upon delivery. With 

the extreme conditions stored fuel is commonly enduring, it is 

critical to ensure fuel is maintained on a regular basis.

SFM Systems reverse fuel deterioration while 

decontaminating, cleaning, and optimizing the fuel to ultra 

clean levels for ultimate reliability.
