Donaldson's Advanced Bulk Filtration for Today’s High‑Pressure Fuel Systems

The increase in diesel injection pressures on engines and the sophistication of today’s equipment require higher cleanliness levels. Donaldson bulk filtration systems can reduce downtime, save on costly component replacement and improve fuel economy. In short, Donaldson can reduce your total cost of ownership.

Contaminants and water are the enemies of engine fuels and lubricants, robbing vehicles and equipment of performance and longevity. Removing contamination with bulk filtration prior to pumping fluids into equipment allows on-board filtration systems to do their job better, while supporting advanced systems required to meet new regulations.

A Full‑System Approach to Fluid Cleanliness

Clean

Donaldson single-pass filtration on the inlet can be configured for high flow rates while maintaining low pressure drop and reducing contaminants to the desired cleanliness level. Compact and easy to replace, Donaldson filters are the first line of defense in maintaining fluid quality. 

Protect

The Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ breather prevents dust and moisture from entering while allowing high flow rates of fluid into and out of the tank. Protect fluids in storage from moisture with an Active Reservoir Vent™ (ARV). It draws moisture from fluids with dry compressed air and can be mounted where convenient. 

Polish

Because unstable fluids and the tank itself can be a source of contamination, final filtration on the outlet ensures that targeted ISO cleanliness levels are achieved. 

Success Story: Cleaner Fuel Helps Concrete Company Clean-Up

The Situation
A leading ready-mixed concrete producer relied on more than 20 sites and a fleet of 250 mixer trucks to deliver concrete on time across a major metropolitan area. With diesel-powered production equipment and trucks running in dusty conditions, fuel quality and delivery reliability were mission critical.

The Challenge
Despite using diesel that met industry standards, the company faced rising downtime and costly failures in newer Tier 4 and EPA 2010+ engines. Contaminated fuel caused premature fuel-filter plugging and injector wear, resulting in over $344,000 annually in repair and unplanned service costs. Modern high-pressure fuel systems simply couldn’t tolerate the contamination levels allowed by outdated fuel standards.

The Donaldson Solution
Donaldson Clean Solutions specialists tested the fuel and identified contamination well above what modern engines could handle. They installed Donaldson high-capacity Clean Diesel Kits with 4-micron filtration at every bulk tank, ensuring only ultra-clean fuel reached equipment and trucks. Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ breathers were also added to each tank to eliminate moisture and prevent airborne contamination.

The Results
Cleaner fuel dramatically reduced wear on critical engine components. Since installing the Donaldson system, the company has eliminated fuel-related injector failures, cut unplanned downtime to near zero, and significantly extended maintenance intervals. The result: lower repair costs, more equipment uptime, and reliable, on-time concrete deliveries across every site.
