| Dieselex Gold - Technology to drive you further! Detergency Cleans injectors for restored horsepower and better fuel economy Clean injectors are necessary for maximum horsepower and fuel economy. Dieselex Gold contains detergent chemistry that cleans up traditional carbonaceous deposits that form on injector tips and plug injector orifices as well as the newer internal diesel injector deposits (IDID) that cause injectors to become "sticky". Newer engines equipped with high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel systems are especially prone to the "sticky" IDID deposits that cause loss of power and fuel economy as well as hard starts. Dieselex Gold contains robust detergency that cleans up dirty injectors and keeps them clean. In fact, Dieselex Gold passes the Peugeot DW-10 and XUD-9 injector test that measure detergency effectiveness. Cetane Improver Starts engines faster and produces lower emissions Cetane is a measure of ignition quality and fuels with a high cetane number combust faster. Better combustion leads to quicker starts with less knocking and smoke. It also reduces harmful emissions like NOx. carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter. Typical #2 diesel fuel in the Midwest has a cetane rating of 42 to 45. The typical cetane number for Dieselex Gold is 46 to 49. Corrosion Inhibitors Protects metal from rust and corrosion Dieselex Gold extends fuel system life and reduces downtime from plugged filters by reducing corrosion and its byproducts. Corrosion and rust can occur when metal is exposed to moisture. Pieces of degraded metal can lug filters and erode or block narrow injector orifices. The corrosion inhibitors in Dieselex Gold prevent corrosion and rust enabling Dieselex Gold t successfully pass the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) fuel corrosion test (ASTM 665A) Lubricity Enhancers Extends fuel pump and injector life Since 1993, Dieselex Gold has contained lubricity enhancers. Since that time, the widespread use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuels has made the addition of lubricity chemistry even more important. Without proper lubricity, fuel injectors can become hot and seize due to the plunger welding itself to the barrel. While most fuels meet the minimum standard of ASTM D975, Dieselex Gold easily meets the higher levels of lubricity recommended by the Engine Manufacturer's Association. Oxidation Inhibitors Improves filter and fuel storage life When diesel fuel and biodiesel blends are stored for longer periods, oxidation eventually causes the formation of gums that darken the appearance of the fuel. In extreme cases, it can give fuel a cloudy appearance, block fuel lines, plug fuel filters and cause an increase in sludge levels on the bottom of storage tanks. The oxidation inhibitors in Dieselex Gold slow the oxidation process and decrease gum and deposit formation for extended fuel storage life. Stabilizing Agents Maintain fuel integrity and extend filter life Thermal stability is less of an issue today as Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is made thermally stable through the desulfurization process at the refinery. However, that does not mean there are never fuel stability problems. Recent fuel system technologies cause as much as 50% of the fuel to bypass injectors and recirculate through the fuel rail, where it can be heated to temperatures exceeding 150o. Heated fuel oxidizes more rapidly, creating gum and deposits that can plug filters and block fuel lines. Dieselex Gold's fuel stabilizing agents work with the oxidation inhibitors to maintain fuel integrity and stability. Demulsifiers Separates "free" moisture from diesel fuel Moisture infiltrates vehicle and storage tanks in a number of ways, but is almost always present. Dieselex Gold's demulsifier chemistry causes "free" moisture to drop to the bottom of the fuel storage tank for physical removal. Tests using ASTM D1094 methods, prove the effectiveness of the Dieselex Gold demulsifier. Moisture Control Chemistry Carries dissolved moisture through combustion Moisture in fuel creates an environment for bacterial and microbial growth as well as for corrosion of metal parts and the formation of sludge. In addition to "free" moisture described under "Demulsifiers" above, all fuels contain an amount of "dissolved" moisture. "Dissolved" moisture causes no negative effects to equipment performance or longevity and is essentially invisible to engines and storage tanks. Moisture control chemistry helps Dieselex Gold dry out tanks by allowing the fuel to carry additional amounts of dissolved moisture. The effectiveness of the chemistry is well documented in the aviation and fleet transportation industries. |
