     Black-Out™ Diesel Fuel System Antifoulant is a new fuel additive created specifically to improve the performance of ULSD in newer model vehicles equipped with high pressure fuel injectors.  This is the latest addition to the impressive line Power Up of fuel additives.  It complies with the federal low sulfur content requirements and does not exceed 15ppm.  While traditional detergents may have historically been effective in combating injector deposits, these products are proving less feasible in modern heavy duty diesel engines and the treat rates required to have any impact are simply not effective.  At the same time, the need to remove deposits in and around the injector valve seat and nozzle has become even more critical to overall performance.

Power Up Black-Out™ Diesel Fuel System Antifoulant has been formulated to: 

• Clean and prevent deposits in high pressure fuel filters & injection systems
• Inhibit fouling of ultra low sulfur diesel
• Prevent fuel filter black sludge deposits
• Maintain efficient filter performance
• Restore lost horsepower
• Reduce harmful exhaust emissions
• Provide thermal & oxidative stability
• Maximize optimum fuel economy

    Black-Out™ Diesel Fuel System Antifoulant is a highly innovative multifunctional middle distillate fuel additive that offers a number of important benefits to fleet operators.  It prevents the formation of fuel soot by conditioning ULSD to withstand the extreme temperatures and high pressures of today’s fuel injection systems.  It also cleans up existing deposits, returning injectors to “like new” condition within a short time period. 

   This new Power Up fuel additive not only maintains the thermal and oxidative stability of ULSD, it also prevents the formation of black sludge.  This is a common problem which can escalate in high pressure engine units operating at high temperatures.  Over time, contaminants from unburnt fuel and combustion soot build up to form a thick black sludge.  This sludge ultimately affects performance.

    As a result of using Black-Out, fuel filter plugging is reduced dramatically.  Field tests suggest the filter lifecycle is extended from between 8,000 and 20,000km to approximately 48,000km.  It is estimated that savings on fuel filters alone could cover the cost of using Black-Out Diesel Fuel System Antifoulant. 

   With injectors cleaned and maintained, operators can expect fewer injector failures and optimum combustion at all times.  this makes for a more efficient engine which benefits from restored power, reduced emissions and better fuel economy.

FUEL FILTER PLUGGING

    The formation of black soot-like deposits in the fuel filter is caused by these extreme high temperatures and pressures.  Under these conditions, the ULSD is then thermally decomposed in the injection system.  Field tests show that filters are often blocked with the resulting black deposits and need replacing after just 16,000 to 20,000km of operation.

Fleet Trial - Same make and model trucks, same fuel, same work load.  The only difference is Black-Out™ Diesel Fuel System Antifoulant.
