November 27th, 2011 OOPS Bilge Filter / Fuel Filter Alert System
The system is especially valuable for vessels that don’t have constant filter monitoring by dedicated on-board engineers, such as harbor tugs and other workboats running with a small crew. All it takes is a load of bad diesel fuel to get a workboat in serious trouble fast, and it's always when least expected. This is a straightforward vacuum instrument designed to detect fuel-filter degradation and alert operators so they can take action before failure. Best of all, it has no moving parts and needs no sensitive pressure lines. We like simple! The system consists of a remote digital display panel and rugged stainless steel sensors. The easy-to-read digital display features a numeric pressure readout with active messages and a colored-light indicator graduating from green to yellow to red as the filters become more clogged. An audible alarm sounds when filter attention is required to help operators avoid loss of power or engine failure. In development for the past 2 years, the diesel FUEL FILTER ALERT and alarm system was in sea trials for 8 months. Installation is fast and easy, requiring only a signal wire from the remote display panel to the filter sensor, which attaches to the existing RACOR filter housings on most vessels. The remote display can be easily mounted in the wheelhouse, control room or anywhere on the boat to automatically monitor up to 3 filter systems. In addition to being an engine and injector-saver, it’s also a serious money-saver for allowing operators to change filters when needed as opposed to following a schedule that may not reflect actual need. Fewer filter changes means less replacement filter inventory and a reduction of special waste to handle and dispose of. About SKIMOIL®. INC. The FUEL FILTER ALERT system will be featured at SKIMOIL booth #138 at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans November 30th - December 2nd. Call (314)579-9755
OOPS Filter Don't have room for a full sized Oil Water Separator?
We can rack up 3 or more OOPS filter cartridge housings and mount a 2005 USCG approved oil content monitor behind that and you can have a clear record of your oil in water discharges. This does not make it a separator — but it does give you a USCG approved monitor that shows the water quality of the water discharged thru this system. Unlike a full blown marine oil water separator that is usually a minimum of 2' square and 4.5' tall, this OOPS system with the monitor is only 30" high by 30" wide x 8" deep (as pictured). Could be the answer! Gives you a legal record of the water you’ve discharged thru the system.
Need more reasons? — THE FEDS ARE COMING! Want to meet the EPA or Coast Guard to discuss your illegal oily discharge? "Roscoe" J. McWilliams |

SKIMOIL, Inc.’s new diesel FUEL FILTER ALERT and alarm system, developed specifically for the commercial marine industry, provides an accurate real-time indication of fuel filter status.
The simple flow thru OOPS filter works with any bilge pump and automatically removes oils from your bilge water. This OOPS filter system uses the same organoclay filter media that we use on the BRUTE/ B USCG/ABS/BV certified separators.
