Fuel Solutions for Today’s Modern Fuels
NEW FUELS NEW RULES
Bio-Fuel History 1979- 2005
1980 Oxygenated Fuel MTBE
(methyl tertiary-butyl ether)
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments
Energy Policy Act of 2005
4 billion gallons by 2006
6.1 billion gallons by 2009
7.5 billion gallons by 2012
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
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
Ethanol Issues
Why Is Ethanol So Bad?
• Deteriorates rubber, plastic& fiberglass
• Attracts Water
• Causes gasoline to prematurely decompose
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
Ethanol Phase Separation
• Severe phase separation creating the severe corrosion
• This carburetor must be replaced
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
Phase Separation Damage
Bottom clear layer is mostly ethanol
Piston seized running on the phase separated fuel to the left

Diesel Issues
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
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
Water Creates Microbe Growth
Poor Fuel Efficiency
Diesel Contamination Types
• Diesel bug
• Bacteria
• Mold
• Yeast
Diesel Contamination Types
• Biofilms
• Asphaltines
• Gums and other organic contaminants
• Wax
• Sludge
• Other particles
USLD = Year Round Maintenance

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

PREVENT
Multi Purpose Ethanol Fuel Stabilizer
Remove water to prevent Phase Separation
Protect the rubber & plastic components from ethanol
Stabilize the gasoline to ensure quick starting and prevent stale fuel
Burn Test

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
Fix the fuel system & deep clean the carburetor without removal, even on non-running engines
Revitalize old fuel and delicate fuel system components safely
Cleanse power robbing carbon deposits from the engine’s internal components

These original rubber components were rejuvenated by the MIB! Before the test they were hard and dried out.
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
Stabilize the fuel from decaying in storage & prevent gelling in cold weather

FUEL HYGIENEWhere 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
