FAQs

What is Wet Stacking?

Wet stacking occurs when not all the fuel in a diesel engine is burned.  The fuel passes through to the exhaust system (exhaust pipe or chimneystack) leaving an oily (wet) residue.  Wet stacking in diesel generators frequently occurs when the engine is running at only a small fraction of its capacity.
