**This week, our winning entries span over half the United States. Like Tuesday’s**  
**election, let’s see why the top four images were fortunate enough to stand alone on the**  
**podium.**

**Pennsylvania, Before and After**  
This side-by-side picture visually shows the impact a Clean Fuels National tank cleaning  
can have on fuel regardless of its grade. This diesel sample taken from the Northeast  
clearly shows an ink black before picture with a clear and pristine after one. Our  
patented system is responsible for this dramatic transformation in color…and overall  
quality.

 

**Texas, Mud and Sludge**  
If you have never seen a filter overflowing with mud and sludge from the bottom of a  
tank, you can now mark that off your list. Sites such as this who neglect the  
maintenance of their tanks are susceptible to the buildup of this filth and muck.  
Fortunately, CFN intervened and removed the nastiness.

**N. Carolina, Unmovable Yoke**  
After repeated attempts, even our strongest technicians were unable to remove this  
yoke at an East Coast location. It’s amazing what corrosion and an overall lack of  
housekeeping can do to a site’s equipment.

 

**Iowa, Microbial**  
Microbial-infested diesel fuel produced this blob of living matter. If left untreated,  
microbial growth can spread uncontrollably, completely infecting all parts of the tank and  
its vital components. Fortunately for this Midwestern site, CFN caught the infection and  
mitigated the problem.

And the winners are: these four entries. Although election contenders vie to win, one  
never wants to win in this aforementioned race. In other words, work to avoid this  
podium. See you next time.
