Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ Breathers – Clean, Dry Air for Your Storage Tanks

Contaminated air entering your bulk storage tanks can introduce moisture, dust, and airborne particulates, which degrade fluid quality and shorten equipment life. At Fleetcare, we offer Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ (Thermally Reactive Advanced Protection) Breathers—a smarter, dual-function solution that removes moisture and particulates from incoming air while expelling moisture vapor on the outbound air flow.

Whether you’re storing diesel, lubricants, or hydraulic oils, the T.R.A.P.™ breather keeps your fluids clean, dry, and ready for use.

Why Use Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ Breathers on Storage Tanks?

Traditional tank vents allow ambient air—often contaminated with humidity, dust, or exhaust particles—to enter your tanks during fluid drawdown. This introduces water and contaminants that:

• • Accelerate fluid degradation

• • Promote microbial growth in diesel

• • Increase wear on machinery

• • Lead to unplanned maintenance and downtime

    

Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ breathers offer a high-efficiency, low-maintenance alternative:

Dual-Action Moisture Control

• • Adsorbs moisture from incoming air using advanced desiccant materials

• • Expels water vapor when tanks are refilled or temperatures rise—extending breather life far beyond traditional desiccant-only units

High-Efficiency Particulate Filtration

• • Removes airborne dust, dirt, and environmental debris down to 3 microns @ 97% efficiency

Durable & Maintenance-Free

• • Long service life even in humid or dusty environments

• • No power supply or mechanical components required

Ideal for a Range of Storage Applications:

• • Bulk diesel tanks (standby generators, mining equipment refueling, fleet depots)

• • Lubricant storage tanks for gear oils, engine oils, and hydraulic fluids

• • Hydraulic system reservoirs

• • Mobile fueling tanks and bowsers

• • Transformer and turbine lube oil tanks

Protect Your Fluids – Protect Your Equipment

Moisture and dust in your storage tanks lead to:

• • Fuel system corrosion

• • Premature filter plugging

• • Injector wear and pump failure

• • Oxidation and varnish in lubricants

Installing a Donaldson T.R.A.P.™ breather is a simple, cost-effective step that delivers long-term protection and ensures your stored fluids meet OEM cleanliness specifications.
