Great Performance with Savings
As well as protecting your engine, COMMANDFUEL also improves engine performance. It achieves this by ensuring clean pumps and injectors, reducing wear on components and restoring lubricity. In addition this results in easier starting and more complete combustion. The net result is more power and miles per gallon. Consequently, a significant cost savings to you. Regular use of COMMANDFUEL more than pays for itself by savings at the pump, from repairs and by extending maintenance intervals. Other great features of COMMANDFUEL are the ability to reduce particulate matter and other emissions in order to meet regulations to protect the environment and helps remove water from the fuel. COMMANDFUEL is a multipurpose, all season supplement conditioner that tackles virtually any diesel fuel related problem.
What Is COMMANDFUEL?
COMMANDFUEL is a unique and proprietary blend of a lubricity improver, cetane booster, co-solvent, cloud point improver and denatured fuel grade ethanol used in very specific amounts to meet commercial fuel specification ASTM D 975 and EMA (Engine Manufacturers Association) requirements.
How Does COMMANDFUEL Work?
Lubricity. COMMANDFUEL is formulated to work with No. 1 diesel, No. 2 diesel and No. 2 Low Sulfur (limited to 500 PPM) diesel fuels. There has been some concern as to lubricity factor in diesel fuels when used in conjunction with ethanol, even in small quantities especially No. 2 Low Sulfur diesel. COMMANDFUEL uses less than 1% ethanol when added to the fuel. When refineries lower the sulfur content in the fuel they also remove compounds that contribute to a fuel's lubricity, which is the ability of a fluid to minimize friction between and damage to moving parts. Lowered lubricity can cause damage to the engine. Not all lubricity enhancers are effective in all fuels and fuel systems. COMMANDFUEL lubricity enhancer is compatible with all fuels thus reduces the friction.
Corrosion Inhibitor. COMMANDFUEL has a corrosion inhibitor and anti-rust agent which reduces system wear.
Co-solvent. COMMANDFUEL has a co-solvent that is capable of dispersing water that may get into the fuel during transportation or by condensation. Water is heavier than diesel fuel and has a tendency to drop to the bottom of the tank. However ethanol suspends the droplets in the fuel and is carried along with the fuel. The volume of droplets is not great enough to block lines or damage injectors.
Fuel Stabilizer. There is also a fuel stabilizer that works to stabilize the fuel and the ethanol so as not to separate. Fuels also tend to age when they become chemically unstable. During transportation, storage and usage, fuels are exposed to oxygen and heat. This exposure causes the atoms in the fuel to loose some of their balance, molecular reactions take place and the aging process begins. The stabilizer helps to keep the atoms in balance.
Fuel Cleaner. COMMANDFUEL is also is a fuel system cleaner. It keeps the entire system clean, including plungers, barrels, walls and injectors. This prevents the cycle of deposits forming on the injector spray holes blocking the spray pattern, which causes incomplete combustion that creates more deposits, and thus causes the cycle. By keeping the engine injectors clean you maintain factory engineered spray patterns.
Cloud Point Improver. In cold weather regions COMMANDFUEL will help with cloud point with the use of a cloud point improver. When the temperature drops to a fuel's cloud point, paraffin waxes that occur naturally in fuel crystallize and cling together. This "waxing" that can plug filters and impede or stop fuel flow to the engine. The cloud point improver separates the clinging wax particles so they can pass through the filters.
Cetane Rating Booster. The performance improver in COMMANDFUEL helps to boost the Cetane rating difference between ethanol and diesel fuel. Ethanol has a lower BTU rating than diesel fuel so the performance improver helps to raise the rating to meet that with diesel fuel and thus smoother engine performance with less power lag.
Flash Point Stability. Flash point plays an important part considering ethanol is part of COMMANDFUEL. Because we use such a small amount of COMMANDFUEL (less than 1% total) when added to the diesel fuel the flash point remains similar to diesel fuel itself. COMMANDFUEL is used in a 1: 200 mix ratio that is one gallon of COMMANDFUEL to two hundred gallons of fuel. This equals only .005 percent in total volume.
User Friendly. COMMANDFUEL is specifically blended into exact amounts that work directly to achieve the proper results that are needed in meet the specifications required and to aid fleet managers in reducing the bottom line costs. COMMANDFUEL is very easy to use. Simply put the correct amount (one gallon COMMANDFUEL to two hundred gallons of fuel) into the holding tank just prior to receiving the fuel. This aids in the blending process as COMMANDFUEL is easily dispersed throughout the fuel.
