FTR Performance Fuel Treatment

At today’s higher fuel prices it is essential customers obtain greater value for money by optimising fuel performance in the most cost effective way. Each litre of fuel burned needs to be in pristine condition to enhance engine performance and reduce mechanical wear.

Engines convert fuel or ‘chemical energy’ into mechanical energy, heat and emissions. The condition of the fuel plays an important role in the efficiency of the energy conversion process. Optimal fuel quality will enhance combustion, extend maintenance intervals and the useful life of filters and injectors, and help to keep tanks clean. Additives in WASP FTR restore ‘stale’ fuels to peak combustibility ensuring continuous clean burning and optimising fuel efficiency, and when used in conjunction with a Fuel Polishing System for water and contaminate removal, it represents the most powerful and efficient cleaning solution for fuel in storage

Stored fuels naturally deteriorate; fuels, being organic, are susceptible to natural deterioration. Oxidation, water, and microbes all contribute to reducing fuel quality and forming tank sludge. Bacterial build up can also be a major problem. Water ingress and air-borne contaminants like dirt and grit all combine with oxidised fuel particles to form sludge. These unwanted by-products cause clogged filters and fuel lines, resulting in unwanted downtime and costly maintenance. Worse – potential engine failure at sea or vehicle breakdown in remote areas! In use, contaminated fuel can corrode injectors, pumps (and tanks) leading to incomplete combustion, carbon build up, smoke, loss of power and even engine failure.

Where the Fuel Polishing Systems remove the bacterial content and water from a tank, the addition of WASP FTR fuel treatment and improvement catalyst eliminates any fungal growth and bacterial build up, improves the fuels combustibility and restores it to pristine condition. It also enhances lubricity, inhibits corrosion and reduces harmful exhaust emissions.

The use of WASP FT RED prevents stored ‘stale’ fuel having to be replaced – a major cost saving at today’s prices.
