The cleaner diesel fuel program reduces sulfur content, Provides immediate health benefits allows engine manufacturers to begin using advanced emissions control systems that further reduce harmful emissions. The diesel program regulations are located in 40 CFR Part 80 subpart I. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) is 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur specification Phased in for highway diesel fuel from Emissions will be reduced by more than 90%. Diesel engines equipped with advanced emission control devices (generally, 2007 and later model years) must use highway ULSD fuel. Low sulfur (500 ppm) and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will be phased in for non-road, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) engines from These fuel requirements, coupled with advanced emission control technologies, will decrease EPA Diesel Fuel Legislation
Brand Comparison
Gasoline Fuel Additive Fuel stabilization Anti-oxidants Ethanol stabilization and protection Combustion Cool Technology 2-stroke engine oil bonding Upper end lubrication Cleaner burn No alcohol No petroleum products Offers an all in one line-up
Gasoline Fuel Additive Cleaning agents Anti-oxidants Upper end lubrication Cleaner burn No alcohol No petroleum products Rejuvenates rubber parts Water removal Fuel restorer Offers an all in one line-up
Diesel Fuel Additive Anti-gel Increased cetane Reduced Particulate Filter regeneration Cleaning agents Anti-oxidants Upper end lubrication Cleaner burn No alcohol No petroleum products Offers an all in one line-up
Competition The competition: Uses alcohol to fight alcohol Uses petroleum in their products Takes more than one product to do the same job Uses enzymes Is not backed by 3 rd party testing Has not changed their recipe to match the new fuels Only works for a short amount of time Will not restore old gas
Ethanol Issues
Why Is Ethanol So Bad? Deteriorates rubber, plastic& fiberglass Attracts Water Causes gasoline to prematurely decompose
Ethanol Damage Damaged plastic and rubber fuel system components, particularly in older power equipment not designed to tolerate ethanol. The primer line & return lines are brittle causing fuel to leak and the fuel lines to disintegrate form ethanol
Ethanol Phase Separation Severe phase separation creating the severe corrosion This carburetor must be replaced
Engine Failure from Varnished / Stale Fuel Engine ran on marginal fuel Hard to start Low power. Gummed all of the internal components Sticking the rings
Phase Separation Damage Bottom clear layer is mostly ethanol Piston seized running on the phase separated fuel to the left Phase Separated gasoline
Diesel Issues
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel 97% less sulfur Reduced lubrication Higher amounts of water Cold weather freezing Problems With Modern Diesel Fuels Clogged fuel injectors Damaged injector pumps
If you have experienced the following issues, chances are they are caused by contaminated fuel. Frequent diesel particulate filter (DPF) burns Clogged and slimy filters Dark, hazy fuel Sludge build up in tanks Loss of power and rpm Excess smoke Corroded, pitted injectors Turbo trouble Injector pump failure Symptoms of Contaminated Fuel
Poor Fuel Efficiency Water Creates Microbe Growth
Diesel Contamination Types Diesel bug Bacteria Mold Yeast
Diesel Contamination Types Biofilms Asphaltines Gums and other organic contaminants Wax Sludge Other particles
USLD = Year Round Maintenance Fuel Filter on the left clogged in only 10,000 miles NEW Clogged
Clogged Diesel Particulate Filter Clogged Clean If not attended to the DPF will need to be removed and cleaned EXPENSIVE PROCESS !
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves are part of the emissions system The purpose of the EGR is to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. “Dirty” exhaust will prevent the EGR from operating properly The EGR can be stuck in any position which will affect how efficiently the fuel will burn By using Diesel Mechanic in a Bottle, the fuel will burn cleaner thus keeping the EGR valve working properly for a longer period of time.
Bio-Diesel Blend Facts 5-7% Less BTU Biodegradable Prone to fuel fouling Absorbs 10 X more water Corrodes fuel system components Harmful to rubber and plastic Acts as a solvent Gelling in cold weather
Our Solution “ TEST – FIX – PREVENT “
Turn Guessing into KNOWING!
How good is your gas? Do they remember when they bought it? Do you do the sniff test? Has the proper amount of 2 Cycle oil been added? Is it phase separated? Is this a possible warranty issue? !!! PREVENT REPAIRS !!! Why Test Your Gas?
Failures Due to Marginal Fuel = =
Develops as it dries 1-2 minutes 2 cycle fuel takes 2-3 Minutes Test Swabs Dip In Gas for 5-10 Seconds
PREVENT
Multi Purpose Ethanol Fuel Stabilizer Remove water to prevent Phase Separation Protect the rubber & plastic components from ethanol Stabilize the gasoline to ensure quick starting and prevent stale fuel
Burn Test X Y Z After burning, a synthetic lubricant is left to lubricate the combustion chamber components Most competitor’s products burn incompletely and erratically Ethanol Shield burns clean and vaporizes the termolecular hydrogen bonded water molecu le
