Locomotive Fuel Systems

Diesel fuel is the driving force behind a locomotive. Proper care of diesel fuel is essential to the overall performance of a locomotive, and cuts down on maintenance costs. From our patent pending Diesel Dehydrator system that strips water and particulate out of diesel fuel, to the fuel filter elements we created in conjunction with Schroeder Industries, to our fuel filter canisters and lids, we create various engineered products that protect and support locomotive fuel systems.

Diesel Dehydrator

The patented Diesel Dehydrator™ (U.S. Patent 11,014,022) is an engineered system that removes water and filters particulate from diesel fuel. Designed to be the main fuel filtration system and tested to filter down to 5 micron, it removes 99.5% of water from the fuel. This, in turn with its extended-life filter, removes particulate from fuel, and increases fuel injector lifespan and overall performance of the locomotive.

Fuel Filter Canisters

PDI is a manufacturer of Tier 2, 3 and 4 fuel filter canisters and custom canister assemblies. The housing of a fuel filter is an important, although perhaps overlooked, part of the locomotive fuel system. Our quality canisters and coating result in decreased corrosion and increased reliability. As a result of customer need, PDI has developed Tier 4-style lids as well as replacement bolted-lid-designed fuel filter canisters for banded designs.
