Common signs include clogged fuel filters, hard starts, poor engine performance, dark or cloudy fuel, water contamination, or visible sludge buildup. Fuel testing can help determine the condition of the fuel before larger problems develop.

In many cases, yes. Fuel polishing can remove water, sludge, sediment, and microbial contamination to restore diesel fuel to a usable condition. Severely degraded fuel may require additional treatment depending on test results.

Most stored diesel fuel systems benefit from maintenance every 2 to 3 years, though systems exposed to moisture or long storage periods may need service sooner. Routine maintenance helps prevent sludge buildup and fuel degradation.

Yes. Emery’s Specialty Services provides fully mobile, on-site service for generators, marine vessels, RV systems, diesel storage tanks, and commercial fuel systems throughout Connecticut.

No. Our equipment is fully self-contained and powered independently, allowing us to perform service even in locations without available power.

Yes. We can perform marine fuel polishing and maintenance directly at marinas and docks without requiring the vessel to be hauled out of the water or dry docked.

Yes. Emery’s Specialty Services provides cleaning and maintenance for both underground and above-ground diesel storage tanks using chemical and pressurized cleaning methods.

No. We do not perform hand scrubbing inside tanks. Instead, we use a chemical and pressurized cleaning process designed to break down and remove contamination efficiently and safely.

The tank is treated with specialized additives and pressurized cleaning methods to loosen sludge, water contamination, and buildup before contaminants are pumped out of the system. Fuel can also be tested to determine overall condition.

Yes. Fuel samples can be sent out for professional testing to identify water contamination, microbial growth, fuel degradation, and whether cleaning or treatment is recommended.

Common signs include hard starting, rough engine performance, clogged filters, excessive smoke, poor fuel quality, or water found in separators and filters.

Yes. Emery’s Specialty Services can install onboard polishing units and upgrade marine fuel filtration systems for improved long-term fuel reliability.

We work on yachts, fishing boats, commercial marine vessels, recreational boats, and marina-based fuel systems throughout Connecticut.

Marine fuel systems should be inspected and maintained regularly, especially on boats that sit unused for long periods or experience seasonal storage.

We service standby generators, portable generators, RV generators, building generators, and diesel-powered systems across most major brands including Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Winco, Onan, Coleman, and more.

Most generators should be serviced at least once a year, though systems that run frequently or sit unused for long periods may require more frequent maintenance.

Generator maintenance may include oil and filter changes, battery testing, system inspections, electrical diagnostics, radiator cleaning, fuel system checks, and full performance testing.

Yes. Emery’s Specialty Services provides generator troubleshooting and repair services for electrical faults, starting issues, power output problems, and other system failures.

Yes. We provide routine RV generator maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, fuel system cleaning, and inverter generator upgrades for RV owners throughout Connecticut.
