Fuel injectors are nozzles that deliver a measured high-pressure spray of fuel into your engine’s combustion chambers. Your computerized engine tells the fuel injector when and how much fuel should be delivered thousands of times per minute in all diesel and gas-powered vehicles. With the exception of your personal driving behavior, the efficiency of your […]
Failure anywhere surrounding your fuel system is likely due to bad fuel and a sign that you thought about fuel quality way too late. It may take the form of motor failure in your truck, failure of your generator to start when you need it most, or even losing an entire storage tank to bad […]
Diesel Particulate Filters (commonly referred to as DPF’s) are designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from diesel engine exhaust systems in an effort to reduce the smog that used to fill our city’s atmospheres. Versions of these filters have been around since 1980, but the modern DPF filters were federally mandated to be […]
Is 2020 the year that Combustion Catalysts gain the acceptability and adoration of the heavy trucking/equipment community? What is the difference between fuel additives with and without Combustion Catalysts anyway? Fuel additives range greatly in strengths and weaknesses. Most of the better ones offer the benefits of added lubricity to make up for that which […]
Kerosene is frequently used in the winter time to prevent fuel gelling and to improve winter cold flow operability. A kerosene blended diesel fuel is a combination of #1 diesel fuel (kerosene) and #2 diesel fuel. The diesel fuel to kerosene ratio is usually found between 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, or 50:50. Benefits of Kerosene The […]
Fracking equipment and vehicles are under constant operation at infrequent speeds and intensity. They also tend to idle for long periods of time. These conditions can build-up deposits of carbon, increase emissions and DPF regenerations, while wearing down and causing injectors to foul. Issues like corrosion, stabilization, and insufficient lubrication can lead to an increase […]
How Can Fuel Combustion Catalysts Benefit Your Industry? A combustion catalyst benefits both on-road and off-road equipment across a variety of industries. Combustion catalysts ensure a cleaner, more complete burn for both diesel or gas. A more complete combustion results in better fuel economy and greater power, less soot, smoke, and emissions, and less regenerations. […]
The purpose of the Fuel Oxâ„¢ fuel catalyst is to generate a more complete combustion of diesel fuel by breaking up the fuel clumps in the fuel. The reason diesel fuel contains clumps of fuel molecules is because the molecules have an electrical charge. It is the polarization of these fuel molecules that causes them […]
Fuel quality, especially for marine fuel, has become a topic of conversation for many years. But how does one protect their boat or watercraft from the affects of these trends?
As biofuels are becoming more and more prevalent and in higher blend percentages, it is important to understand the benefits and drawbacks of these renewable fuels.
