Winter Diesel Fuel Treatment
Anti-Gel/ Flow Improver
Mix ratio 1:2000
| Description: |
Cold winter weather calls attention to the need for a product that will allow diesel engine operation on No. 2 diesel in sub-zero weather without the problems caused by gelling or clouding of the fuel.
Flow-Master Gold is a clear diesel fuel stabilizer which treats No. 2 diesel fuel very economically for excellent cold weather performance, and it gives additional benefits for year-round use. It is more cost-effective than blending with No. 1 fuels or kerosene and other conventional flow improvers because it is more concentrated and utilizes a new formula of wax crystal modification for superior performance |
| Composition: |
Flow-Master Gold offers a new technology of wax crystal modification for today’s cold flow improvers. With engine manufacturers tightening their fuel filter specifications, conventional flow-improvers will not inhibit wax particle growth enough to permit fuel flow for normal winter operation. Flow-Master Gold offers the solution to this problem with the addition of two new mechanisms not contained in conventional flow improvers: (1) a Nucleator creates more nuclei on which wax crystals can grow, resulting in more, but much smaller crystals, and (2) a Crystal Growth Arrestor greatly limits the ability of the wax crystal to grow larger. In addition, the micro-crystals are kept in suspension and not allowed to settle into heavier wax concentrations in tank bottoms.
Flow-Master Gold does not contain alcohol. Special agents help prevent bacteria. Flow-Master Gold contains a special polar lubricity additive to prevent wear in fuel pumps and injectors without the addition of waxy supplements which can plug filters or increase the viscosity of the fuel which would decrease cold temperature fluidity. It also contains a cetane improver which actually improves the ignition quality of the fuel when it gets to the combustion chamber. |
| Performance Characteristics: |
A well known fact recognized by nearly all diesel equipment manufactures is that No. 2 diesel fuel is more suitable that No. 1 diesel fuel for heavy loads and constant speed. No. 2 diesel fuel provides better performance and gives better fuel economy because it has 3000 BTU more energy output per gallon. Diesel fuel must have a higher viscosity than gasoline, because diesel engines depend on fuel to lubricate the pumps and injectors. Also, viscosity affects pump and injector leakage and injector spray pattern into the cylinder. No. 2 diesel fuel is much more satisfactory in these respects. It is for this reason that we recommend the use of No. 2 diesel fuel treated with Flow-Master Gold in order to provide superior performance and longer equipment life.
The improvement of ignition quality is especially noticed under cold weather starting conditions. The higher cetane rating gives quicker ignition and smoother warm-up by reducing misfiring caused by lower air intake temperatures. It assures smoother combustion during both high and low load operation. |
| Uses: |
Flow-Master Gold is formulated to blend very easily with diesel fuel and can also be used in heating oil. It will lower the pour point of untreated fuel 20° to 30°F. One gallon treats 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel. It is not only economical in treatment cost, but it eliminates the buying and storing of other types of fuels in large quantities.
Flow-Master Gold contains no dye whatsoever. This product is designed for jobbers to blend premium diesel by treating fuels which are not allowed to contain any dye for on-road requirements. The sulfur content of this diesel fuel additive does not exceed 15 ppm. This diesel fuel additive complies with the federal low sulfur content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and nonroad engines. |
