Old
Fuel = Less Power, More Gum
& Varnish
Petroleum
based
fuels
are
mixed
with
additives
during
the
refining
process
-
more
and
more
compounds
are
added
as
fuels
are
reformulated
to
meet
government
mandates
to
lower
pollution
levels.
Unfortunately,
the
additives
and
processing
used
to
make
these
new
fuels
burn
more
cleanly
also
them
less
stable.
Fuel
deteriorates
and
loses
power
after
90
days
for
diesel
and
30
days
for
gasoline.
As
fuel
ages,
solids
and
varnishes
form
that
can
clog
the
fuel
lines
and
system.
Old
fuel
often
contains
water
contamination. K100
Treatments
contain
stabilizers
that
hold
petroleum
compounds
together
to keep
the fuel
fresh,
cleaners
to dissolve
gums
and varnish,
and burnable
organic
compounds
that
encapsulate
free
water.
K100's
unique
chemistry
will
even "fix" equipment
that
has been
sitting
a while
and doesn't
start
- or
runs
roughly
- by
doubling
the treatment,
turning
the engine
over
enough
times
to get
the treated
fuel
throughout
the system,
and waiting
1/2 hour
for the
treatment
to take
effect. |
