Q1. What is
Dieselfix?
A1. Dieselfix is a
formulation of non-hydrocarbon liquids that conforms to the
specifications of diesel fuel. In other words it is generic diesel
fuel. This means that it is totally compatible with petroleum
diesel and does not alter the fuel in any way. It has, however,
unique chemical properties that eliminate the undesirable
characteristics of diesel fuel.
Q2. What undesirable
characteristics does diesel fuel have?
A2. Diesel is
hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture (water) from air (a
cold surface, exposed to air, shows how much water there is).
Diesel holds *6 times as much water as air by volume.
Water-content of diesel (molecular water) triggers oxidation,
turning fuel brown in colour and depositing resin
(varnishing/gumming) on all surfaces in contact with it.
Water-content is what causes the fuel to become more acidic
(measured as total acid number or T.A.N.) This corrodes tanks, fuel
lines and fuel-injection systems.
Suspended water, consisting of tiny particles of liquid water, too
small to drop out of fuel, is both corrosive and abrasive and
causes enlargement of injector nozzles. It also provides habitat
for bacteria.
Free water, the familiar stuff that lies below the fuel, is
responsible for tank-bottom rust and provides habitat for fungi and
bacteria (microbes) that feed on resin released from diesel. Free
water and, particularly, microbe infestation cause fuel filter
blockage, which stops engines dead until new filters are
fitted.
In combustion, water forms powerful acids with oxides of sulphur
and nitrogen (SOx and NOx). These are not only environmentally
harmful but some acid gets into the crankcase via blow-by past the
piston rings. Acids cause engine oil to decompose, with severe
impact on engine wear and corrosion of vital engine components.
Q3.How does Dieselfix
eliminate these?
A3. Firstly,
Dieselfix converts water into a completely different fluid that is
a fuel-soluble, fully combustible lubricant, which is chemically
inactive with SOx and NOx.
Fuel-solubility ensures that the fluid remains in solution and
evenly distributed throughout the body of fuel. Because it is inert
with SOx and NOx, ageing of the fuel does not occur and acids are
not produced during combustion. Corrosion is effectively inhibited.
When water is replaced by a lubricant, fuel system wear is
significantly diminished.
Secondly, Dieselfix contains a mild, highly specific resin solvent
that dissolves resin back into the fuel where it belongs. This
maintains fuel and fuel-injection systems in pristine
condition.
Where microbial infestation exists, lack of habitat and nutrients
kill the bugs and Dieselfix dissolves the dead remains.
Q4. Why should diesel
specifications be important?
A4. Diesel engine
design is such that lubrication of high-pressure fuel-injection
systems must be achieved by fuel. Compression-ignition prohibits
any variation in ignition and combustion characteristics of the
fuel. Conventional additives alter these properties, resulting in
engine damage. Dieselfix does not alter diesel fuel but alters
contaminants to become more compatible with engines.
If this vital requirement had been recognised before, very few
additives would ever have been sold. Dieselfix is the
only product in this field
that complies with global diesel fuel specifications.
Additive is defined as a chemical that alters the characteristics
of fuel.
Diesel fuel is defined as a generic term that applies to any fuel
that can be used safely in diesel engines.
Dieselfix is, therefore, not an additive but generic diesel
fuel.
Q5. How is Dieselfix
applied to diesel fuel?
A5. Dieselfix is
applied to
fresh
diesel at a ratio of *-to****0. Clearly, the best point of
application would be at refinery but next best is into bulk tanks.
Dieselfix is just as effective when applied to running tanks of
vehicles and machines.
When fuel is old or contaminated, this dosage should be increased
as required. We recommend that the first application should be
doubled to *-to****0 to cope with existing contamination.
Where free water is found, as much as possible should be removed
physically, prior to Dieselfix treatment then double-dosing should
be continued until the tank-bottom is completely clear.
Q6. How do we check
the bottoms of underground tanks?
A6. We offer a
complete fuel quality management system of which Dieselfix is only
a part. Sampling pumps have a tube that is dropped to tank-bottom
for samples to be drawn. De-watering pumps are used to remove free
water, rust, bacteria and fungi.
Q7. My fuel suppliers
tell their fuel is perfect, are you contradicting them?
A7. South African
diesel fuel is nearly perfect when delivered. Deterioration occurs
after delivery, in storage. Many diesel equipment
operators are unaware that after fuel is delivered into their
tanks, the supplier no longer carries responsibility for quality.
There are *8 **0 websites listed on the Internet under Diesel fuel
additives. That is a sure indication that the fuel is not
perfect.
We are not opposition to the oil companies in any way but they do
take professional pride in what they do. They perceive us as being
critical of their product and are not comfortable. Conventional
additives were originally manufactured by oil companies and they
stopped doing it when they discovered that hydrocarbon-based
additives are not successful in diesel engines. Dieselfix is
probably the first product that is not hydrocarbon-based and, thus,
far more effective than anything seen previously.
Q8. Why have the oil
companies not produced anything like Dieselfix?
A8. There are two
reasons. Firstly, oil companies are not responsible for fuel
quality maintenance after delivery, that is the end-users problem.
Oil companies have never had the need to involve themselves in
that.
Secondly, the science that went into Dieselfix stems from a unique
combination of scientific disciplines that bear no similarity to
hydrocarbon chemistry. Oil company chemists do not have time to
study other fields of science.
Q9. What are the
benefits to using Dieselfix?
A9. Everybody is
aware of the difference between using good quality fuel and poor
fuel. Invariably, the use of poor quality fuel results in
breakdowns, usually from blocked fuel filters. Gumming of
fuel-injection systems requires costly maintenance procedures that
involve downtime, which is vastly more costly than the maintenance.
Not only do savings accrue due to less unscheduled maintenance and
downtime but fuel efficiency is a natural benefit when the fuel and
fuel-injection systems are permanently maintained in pristine
condition.
Our own experience, and that of our customers, is that engine wear
is significantly reduced, leading to as much as *5% longer engine
life.
In countries where operators are fined for excessive smoke
emission, Dieselfix sorts out problems within hours.
Q*0. How do you
substantiate these claims?
A*0. We do not
attempt to substantiate these claims. Potential customers do. When
a potential customer achieves the results by trial, the credibility
of those results is beyond question. Presenting screeds of letters
and reports from delighted customers is not pertinent to a
potential client. His own results are indisputable.
Ideally, a trial should last for three months with, if possible, at
least 5 vehicles or machines of various ages on trial. The criteria
that are monitored are oil analysis, fuel efficiency and, if
possible, exhaust analysis. Additionally, oil filters and fuel
filters must be retained for visual examination.
Between these criteria, there is no place for any hidden surprises.
Results will prove precisely what economic benefits are being
gained and the level of safety of using the system. Based on such
data, responsible management decisions can be made.
Q*1. Surely a claim
such as *5% longer engine life requires years to substantiate?
A*1. Oil analysis
reports show the precise levels of wear-metals in used oil.
Wear-metal content is a direct indicator of engine wear. When an
oil analysis report done after the introduction of Dieselfix is
compared with the reports from before and a reduction of *0% is
shown, it translates directly into a *0% reduction of engine wear.
A reduction of *0% in engine wear produces *5% longer remaining
life in the engine. All it takes is one service interval.
Q*2. We replace our
vehicles after **0 **0 kms so how would we benefit?
A*2. The policy of
replacing vehicles at predetermined mileage came about in order to
avoid the costs and headaches involved in overhauls. When trials
show sufficient benefit to adopt the Dieselfix system to a fleet,
before and after oil analysis should be done on the entire fleet.
When those reports are analysed, the
minimum improvement should be
used as a benchmark.
If, for example, the minimum improvement in projected engine life
is *5%, then your replacement mileage can be increased by that
percentage, i.e. from **0 **0 kms to 1 **0 **0 kms. During the life
of an engine, the benefits of stabilised fuel efficiency and
elimination of fuel related breakdowns and concomitant downtime
will cover the cost of Dieselfix many times over.
Q*3. There many other
products whose manufacturers make the same claims, why is this
different?
A*3. There are none
that even claim that the product conforms to diesel fuel
specifications. None recommend oil analysis as the main criterion
for scrutiny. None claim to convert water-content into a
fuel-soluble, fully combustible lubricant. None claim to solve the
microbial problem entirely.
Every manufacturer is aware of the problems associated with diesel
fuel in storage and the problems manifested in fuel-injection
systems and engines. Therefore they all claim the same results. The
difference lies in the manner in which those problems are
addressed. Dieselfix is eminently demonstrable. We can prove most
of our claims through straightforward, scientifically conclusive,
no-nonsense tests, before taking the product anywhere near a diesel
engine. Few other products can be demonstrated.
Q*4. You claim that
Dieselfix does everything, how do you substantiate that?
A*4. As much as it
appears that way, we only claim that Dieselfix does three
things:
-
The chemical conversion of water into a fuel-soluble, fully
combustible lubricant.
-
The dissolution of resin build-up.
-
The elimination of microbial contamination.
Water is the root cause of items 2 and 3 above. It is also the root
cause of corrosion of fuel tanks, fuel lines and fuel-injection
system components. Additionally fuel filter blockage and acid
contamination of crankcase oil are also triggered by water. Water
is the root cause of almost every problem with diesel fuel and
engines. The conversion described in item 1 completely eradicates
the detrimental activities of water.
It is the chain of effects that are triggered by water that we are
all familiar with. Prior to the advent of Dieselfix there has never
been an effective solution to the water problem. The problems have
always been described as normal wear and tear. Dieselfix eliminates
a significant percentage of normal wear and tear.
Q*5. We use
high-quality water-traps on all our vehicles so how can Dieselfix
improve on that?
A*5. There is no
alternative to good filtration. Water, however, occurs in three
forms in diesel fuel, identical to the three forms in air.
-
Free water is familiar, lying below the fuel like a pool or puddle
lies below air.
-
Suspended water consists of microscopic particles of liquid water,
suspended in fuel by neutral buoyancy. This is the same as mist and
cloud in air.
-
Water-content consists of trillions of individual molecules of
water, contained in fuel exactly like humidity in air.
Suspended water has two sources. It can stem from free water that
is agitated by movement and vibration and breaks up into small
particle size to float in fuel. It also occurs when molecules of
water-content drift together and cohere into liquid water.
Water-content also has two sources. The first is by
hygroscopic absorption from air. The second is by evaporation of
free and suspended water with temperature.
Free water normally remains in the bottoms of bulk storage tanks,
corroding tank-bottoms and providing habitat for fungi and
bacteria.
Gravity and centrifugal water separators are only effective against
free water that exists in running tanks and gets stirred up by
movement to become semi-suspended in the fuel.
True suspended water remains in suspension and passes through water
separators.
Paper-element fuel filters absorb suspended water particles that
are larger than the filter size, but allow smaller particles to
pass through to the fuel-injection system and engine. This is
indicated by corrosion and acid contamination of crankcase oil.
To the best of our knowledge, there is no other means of
eradicating suspended water and water content than by Dieselfix
treatment.
Q*6. What undesirable
side effects are there with Dieselfix?
A*6. Absolutely none.
After testing dozens of commercially available additives that
failed to live up to manufacturers claims, a great deal had been
learned about what
not to do. The main rule that
was adopted when development of the product began was,
first, do no
harm.
Q*7 Some equipment
manufacturers threaten that warranties on new equipment may be
affected if Dieselfix is used. How do you solve this major
problem?
A*7 This subject is
of utmost importance to owners of diesel equipment. Multi-million
Rand fleets
cannot
be exposed to unnecessary financial risk and the subject of
warranty cover is a highly sensitive matter to those who have
invested the millions.
A level of disinformation exists that has clouded this issue, so it
is important to clarify the entire subject, point by point.
1. Warranties
ONLY cover
material defect
and
poor
workmanship. Any other cause of breakdown is not covered.
Poor driving habits and sub-standard fuel are possibly the most
common causes of breakdown during the warranty period. These are
not covered by warranty, but dealers and manufacturers are not in a
hurry to inform buyers of this detail.
2. In order to affect warranty cover, a product must
cause breakdown. Any
product such as Dieselfix that does not cause any breakdown or
damage of any description whatsoever,
cannot, by the
greatest stretch of the imagination, affect warranty cover. Sadly,
there are many people who appear to struggle to comprehend this
simple principle.
Dieselfix is in daily use in more than *0 **0 engines worldwide,
ranging from marine engines and opencast mine haulers to light
passenger vehicles and power generator sets. In *0% of cases, our
recommended procedure of oil-analysis is being performed to monitor
any possible damage from the use of Dieselfix.
No trace of
any harm or damage has been noted after *8 years in
use.
3. All equipment manufacturers stipulate that fuel used in their
equipment must comply with national standard fuel specifications,
i.e. SANS **2 in South Africa, EN **0 in Europe, AS ***0 in
Australia etc. Dieselfix complies with all global diesel fuel
specifications. Therefore, Dieselfix is already approved by all
manufacturers without any further ado.
Given the appalling history of thousands of fuel additives that
continue to plague the market, however, equipment manufacturers and
owners are naturally defensive. The problem is so great that it has
become an emotional issue plagued with speculation and logic has
often been abandoned.
As more and more people become familiar with the remarkable
benefits of using Dieselfix, dealers and manufacturers are getting
the feedback and will, eventually, lose their irrational fear.
Dieselfix works.
