Cleaning method for fuel tank of Cummins diesel generator set

If the sediment in the fuel tank of diesel generator is too much, it will make a lot of impurities into the oil pipe, accelerate the blockage of the filter, and lead to the wear of many parts, affecting the normal use of the unit. This tells us that it is very necessary to clean the fuel tank regularly, so what are the correct cleaning steps? Listen to Jiangsu United States Austria Power Technology Co., Ltd. and you talk about it.
