Fuel Filter Alert

Remote Real-Time Digital Display
RCP and Subchapter M audit-ability
​Ever had a load of bad fuel? Diesel fuel filters on workboats tend to clog fast with a bad load of fuel or in rough waters—right when you can’t afford it.
If this happens while building a tow, or on approach to a lock or bridge or a harbor, you can get in trouble FAST, creating a critical safety hazard for all involved. 

The Fuel Filter Alert & Alarm System lets you avoid this common cause of power or engine failure.  A straightforward vacuum instrument designed to detect fuel filter degradation and alert the operator—so you can take action before failure!​
Want to know before your filters are clogged? Real time display status?
White Paper: Responsible Carrier Program (RCP), Subchaper M audit-ability

#FFA500 Fuel Filter Alert system consists of 1 digital display panel and 2 stainless sensors to be located on filter housing or inline after filter. Locate the display where you need it! Each display will support three sensors.

The SkimOIL Fail-Safe FUEL FILTER ALERT & ALARM System works on the principal of maintaining fuel flow. As the filter does its job and removes & collects contaminants, the filter flow is reduced. As the flow is reduced, the lift pump has to work harder to pull fuel to the engine. There is a point where the filters are too clogged to support the flow necessary for the running of the engine.
When there is not enough fuel flow your engine stops. Want an early warning?
BRAND NEW! check & monitor your fuel filter status remotely on your cell phone! From anywhere on the boat or anywhere in the world. We've got the AP for that! Instant AWO/Sub M audit-ability.
​SkimOIL is excited to announce an extremely easy way to get the piece of mind that fuel filer alert can give you in a super simple and easy to install package.  The new Bullseye Precision Piezo Gauge with Bluetooth can measure fuel filter health from the engine room to your cell phone and broadcast that information to the cloud.  It's easy:
  1. Replace your T-Handle with a compatible sensor
  2. Download and run the "Vacuum Gauge" App
  3. View the Data on the gauge, on the phone, or anywhere in the world
Anyone on the boat, or on land can simply go to a URL and see real time data of how your fuel filters are functioning.  Logs can be easily brought up, analyzed and shared to make sure that engine suction stays in safe limits throughout a trip.  It's never been easier to be in constant contact with your engine's fuel system.
