REVERSING PETROL DEFICIENCIES
Refineries, where fuel is manufactured from crude oil, cannot remove many poorly performing molecules to make an ideal fuel. In addition, once fuel leaves the refinery or is stored it is subject to attack by oxygen, ozone, and microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, and mould) that grow in the fuel. Diesel fuel is also subject to similar deterioration during storage.
All these processes degrade the fuel to make a poorer product that prevents engines from performing at optimum levels. This poor fuel does not combust completely in engines and does not yield its maximum potential energy. Some of it forms carbonaceous deposits and gums, and some is not completely burned putting unburned hydrocarbons into the exhaust. Over time, engines develop problems caused by sub–optimal fuel. These include gumming and constriction of fuel systems and carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and exhaust system.
Fitch Fuel Catalyst reverses the natural degrading process of petrol:
- Molecules in the C1, C2, C3, C4 range (which contribute to pre–ignition) are markedly diminished.
- Highly branched molecules in the C7 – C11 range are increased. These are ideal for optimal combustion.
- Octane Rating Increases.
- Oxidation Stability improves as measured with ASTM D525.
Fitch Fuel Catalyst also suppresses or even reverses bacterial growth.
