While electric cars have entered the market, they’re not relevant for fuel additives. So, we’ll be going over standard gasoline engines and diesel engines. Gasoline Gasoline engines are the most common. Most cars on the road use traditional engines. Still, there are different fuel types ...
Today, they are essential to the proper function of modern diesel and gasoline engines. There are three main areas where additives are considered: to make fuel fit for purpose; to allow engine to function efficiently, meeting stringent emissions legislation; to ensure superior engine/fuel ...
The present invention relates to mixtures which can be used as fuel additives and which consist of the following two rock pellets: Stone pellet: at least one amine, polyamine or alkane-amine in which one of the hydrocarbon tubes has an average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000; and cobento...
Fuel additives are one method of reducing emissions and/or enhancing performance in these older diesel engines without the need for technology upgrades (new engines/aftertreatment). Although diesel fuel additives' ability to reduce harmful emissions is well known in the literature, the mechanism as ...
Leonid Tartakovsky, in Handbook of Air Pollution From Internal Combustion Engines, 1998 16.3.3 Diesel Fuel Additives Additives can enhance various diesel fuel properties. For example, ignition-improver additives are used to increase the cetane number of the fuel. Detergent additives are considered to ...
Honda engines are certified and designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline. Gasoline is allowed, by regulation, to contain a variety of additives. The same regulation limits how much of some additives, such as alcohol, can be included in the fuel and still be sold as gasoline. Honda engine...
automobile engines than gasolinederivedfrom straight distillation of crude petroleum. The development of more powerfulairplaneengines in the late 1930s gave rise to a need to increase the combustion characteristics of gasoline and spurred the development of lead-based fuel additives to improve engine ...
When it comes to finding the best fuel injector cleaners for your needs, the type of vehicle you drive matters less than the type of engine that powers it. Again, most vehicles in the US have gasoline-powered engines, but some are powered by engines reliant on diesel fuel. Older vehicles...
Older fuel injector cleaners even have alcohol in them for water removal, but they can damage parts of the fuel system and you should avoid them. When Do I Use Fuel Injector Cleaner? These cleaners are some of the easiest to use engine additives on the market. They should be poured into...
Of all the fuel additives we have encountered the only one we can say has made a difference is REDEX. After a long run every car I have used it in shows an improvement of around 2mpg. The older the car the better the improvement. ...
