Diesel Fuel Quality Is A Question Not A Guarantee

Diesel engine projects to improve the performance of the engine, the great progress in the supply of fuel to the engine combustion chamber. Today's diesel engines are quieter, smoother and more powerful. But today's diesel engine owners are an important factor. The quality of today's diesel fuel is not as far advanced at the same rate as the engine improvements.

Diesel fuel begins to deteriorate as soon as it is done. Within 30 days of refining, all diesel fuel regardless of brand, through the natural process of re-polymerization and oxidation. This process forms varnishes and insoluble gums in the fuel, which causes the fuel, the molecule and bond together. These components now drop to the bottom of the tank and form asphaltene free as diesel sludge. Fuels will be dark in color, odor, and in most cases causes engines to smoke. The engines smoke because some of these groups at an early stage, are sufficiently low-pass filter-combustion engine and the Comoros. As these clusters increase in size, only a portion of the molecule is burned. The rest is unburned fuel and exhaust fumes. With increasing cluster size, first to reduce the fuel flow blockage of filters. The filters only address the symptom and not the cause.

It is estimated that eight out of ten diesel errors were directly related to poor quality and contaminated fuel. -The construction of the contaminated fuel and storage tanks can quickly clog filters, which cause the engine off, fuel pump wear, damage and diesel engine.

Understand that most fuel has some amount of water in them, either from condensation or vents. This danger, we must recognize the additional burden on diesel fuel compared to gasoline. Gasoline as a fuel only. Diesel, on the other side must also cool and lubricate injection system parts. These are technically part of the very close tolerances - up to 0.0002 inch - and any contamination means rapid part wear. Water displaces the diesel fuel. If the fuel displaced wear occur because lubrication is now missing.

Water used in the incineration Comoros causing severe damage. If they come into contact with the heat of combustion Comoros (about 2000 ° F), it immediately turns to steam and often explodes the tip injector. Water causes corrosion of tanks, pipes, injectors, and reduced flammability.

Other areas of concern to produce more exhaust fumes and the implementation of the EPA standards.

Bacteria also a serious problem. Bacteria feed on nitrogen, sulfur and iron in the tank or.

Then there are algae. There are no algae in diesel. You have fungus and microbial contamination but no algae. This is a misnomer for diesel sludge. If you have a diagnosis of algae and a biocide, you two things 1) a mechanical, which is false, and 2) nothing to fix the problem.

Why is it so bad fuel?

Number one reason is because of the increased popularity of diesel power and the accompanying increased demand for diesel. There was a time when diesel fuel remained in the refinery storage tanks long enough to naturally separate and so that the clean fuel used. Now, with the rising demand, fuel never remains stationary long enough for the settlement, and water and suspended solids are sent to you as a user.

The change in refinery techniques is another problem. For more products per dollar, diesel refined from the peripheral parts of the oil barrel. This leads to a lower-class product that is inherently thicker and contains more contamination.

Third, the current fuel distribution methods also have a negative impact on the status of fuel at the time of delivery. In many cases, the brokers the sale of fuel to the main distribution terminals and determine delivery dates. There is no telling how long that is in the fuel distribution network and the number transferred. Rarely are these distributors filter the fuel, since the transfer.

The solution: Multifunctional diesel additive packages and hardware.

For your single vehicle or for the entire fleet, improving the quality of fuels through the use of additives and the state of the art is always a good choice.

Many oil additive packages solutions to key issues in relation to the performance of fuel, some fuel to increase lubricity, improving cold-flow and the improvement of cetane number. And some only the problem of rust and corrosion, but all should be taken into account.

Most diesel fuel additives contain combustion spreading that the release of oxygen during the compression stroke. This allows combustion to earlier, more complete fuel burn. A complete burn the whole power of the fuel and the engine can produce. As combustion spreading and a smoother running engine, more exercise, which improves fuel consumption and reduce emissions of black smoke.

Cetane number is a power and diesel, the higher the cetane number or cetane rating indicates greater fuel efficiency. The fuel is the cetane number effects, the duration of white smoking after start-up, drivability before warm-up, and the intensity of idling diesel engines emit. Increasing the cetane number of fuel and have a better performance.

In diesel fuel systems, fuel-lubrication for the pump and injectors. A fuel with low lubricity may cause excessive wear and premature failure of these components. Improve the lubricity and extend engine life.

Diesel pour points (the lowest temperature at which oil or other liquids will be under the prevailing conditions) in the range of normal winter. As fuel approaches for their point, paraffin in the form of fuel, wax crystals, which prevents it fluently. Flow-improver additives modify wax crystals, for a reduction in fuel consumption and a better cold weather performance.

For eye-storage tanks other issues must be seen. On-sight storage tanks are always a small amount of the first gallons of fuel, one of them, unless it is 100% drained and cleaned. So new, fresh fuel always added a little bad, when the fuel purchase. Dilution of the bad with the good times, the loss of the battle. The fuel will always be bad fuel until the main problem is to

The order of treatment of the problems associated with fuel should always begin with determining whether the water in the fuel and fuel, if microbes (fuel bugs) in them. Add water and fuel test kits used for the maintenance phase. If microbes are detected, then the use of biocides is needed. Biocides have no effect on the removal of mud and is not a problem. Biocides kill bacteria, it is everything!

Water should always be to resolve the problem by first use of fuel-water separators on the tank or equipment. Other multifunctional chemical additive should be added to improve fuel quality, and then, if necessary, a problem specific additive to dissolve diesel sludge and / or corrosion inhibitors to protect steel tanks. For long-term prevention, the use of fuel-to-ground magnet is recommended. These devices continually reverse the re-polymerization of the fuel during operation and the need for continued use of additives.

Conclusion

It is not a good time to see that the engine will not work, or that half of his life, he early because of poor quality or contaminated fuel. Given the fact that nobody can predict a breakdown, the only safe method is prevention.

Since we know that you now have a problem, and to manage or deal with the unexpected catastrophe and reduced equipment life, at just the wrong time, and not in the budget!
