  1. Welcome Fuel Solutions for Today’s Modern Fuels NEW FUELS NEW RULES

  2. Bio-Fuel History 1979- 2005 1980Oxygenated Fuel MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) 1990Clean Air Act Amendments Energy Policy Act of2005 4 billion gallons by 2006 6.1 billion gallons by 2009 7.5 billion gallons by 2012

  3. EPA Approves E-15 • Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 bio-fuel requirement • 12.95 Billion gallon 2010 • 36 Billion gallon 2022 • 2010 E-15 gasoline approved for 2001 and newer cars and light trucks • 70 to 80% of all vehicles on the road • E-20 a possibility??? • B-20 a possibility??? EPA E-15 Mock-up Warning Label

  4. EPA Diesel Fuel Legislation • 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 2006-2010. • 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 2007-2014. These fuel requirements, coupled with advanced emission control technologies, will decrease

  5. Ethanol Issues

  6. Why Is Ethanol So Bad? • Deteriorates rubber, plastic& fiberglass • Attracts Water • Causes gasoline to prematurely decompose

  7. 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

  8. Ethanol Phase Separation • Severe phase separation creating the severe corrosion • This carburetor must be replaced

  9. 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

  10. Phase Separation Damage Phase Separated gasoline Bottom clear layer is mostly ethanol Piston seized running on the phase separated fuel to the left

  11. Diesel Issues

  12. Problems With Modern Diesel Fuels Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel 97% less sulfur • Reduced lubrication • Higher amounts of water • Cold weather freezing Clogged fuel injectors Damaged injector pumps

  13. Symptoms of Contaminated Fuel 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

  14. Water Creates Microbe Growth Poor Fuel Efficiency

  15. Diesel Contamination Types • Diesel bug • Bacteria • Mold • Yeast

  16. Diesel Contamination Types • Biofilms • Asphaltines • Gums and other organic contaminants • Wax • Sludge • Other particles

  17. USLD = Year Round Maintenance Clogged NEW Fuel Filter on the left clogged in only 10,000 miles

  18. Clogged Diesel Particulate Filter Clogged Clean If not attended to the DPF will need to be removed and cleaned EXPENSIVE PROCESS!

  19. 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.

  20. 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

  21. Failures Due to Marginal Fuel = =

  22. PREVENT

  23. Multi Purpose Ethanol Fuel Stabilizer Removewater to prevent Phase Separation Protect the rubber & plastic components from ethanol Stabilizethe gasoline to ensure quick starting and prevent stale fuel

  24. 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 molecule

  25. Rubber Conditioners “Extreme Testing E-85” PIC Protected! Not Protected

  26. Extreme Protection! ½ E-85 ½ Water Over 1 Year in solution Protected! Not Protected

  27. Testing Non Ethanol Shield has carbon build up at 38 hours, theoretically 50 hours should have more carbon build up Ethanol Shield unit kept the exhaust port clear at 50 hours

  28. Fuel System Fix All Fixthe fuel system & deep clean the carburetor without removal, even on non-running engines Revitalizeold fuel and delicate fuel system components safely Cleanse power robbing carbon deposits from the engine’s internal components

  29. After Before

  30. 1983 Chipper Gasket Revitalization Bowl Drain Gasket Bowl Gasket “O” Ring These original rubber components were rejuvenated by the MIB! Before the test they were hard and dried out.

  31. Fix the fuel system by cleaning it thoroughly and rejuvenating the delicate components Protect & Prevent the fuel system from algae growth & remove water to prevent damage Stabilizethe fuel from decaying in storage & prevent gelling in cold weather

  32. Increases Cetane by 2-3 points • Reducing emissions • High Temperature Detergent • Upper cylinder lubricity • Replaces lost lubrication from ULSD • Water encapsulation • Fuel Stabilization • Corrosion protection • Does NOT Contain Petroleum Distillates

  33. Diesel Burn Test Tar Like Deposits Synthetic Lubricant! A B

  34. FUEL HYGIENE Where does fuel hygiene start? It starts by knowing…. • Use fresh fuel • Purchase from a reputable source • Use a fuel additive to protect your fuel system & extend the life of the fuel • Test your fuel • Water / fuel clarity • Bio-Diesel • Acid
