HEET Diesel improves economy, boosts power, ensures easy starts & extends system life of your vehicle.

POWER BOOSTER
What is Cetane? Cetane is a measure of the ignition quality of diesel fuel. Higher number = quicker, more complete combustion. Measures delay between Injection and start of combustion. The higher the number, the shorter the delay and the more power. Higher Cetane levels decrease engine and injector noise, improves cold starts, increased engine power, increases diesel fuel economy, reduces exhaust emissions and reduces the amount of ‘smoke’ and reduces turbo spooling (time to reach turbo boost).

STABILITY
As fuel temperature is elevated in the presence of oxygen, thermal oxidation is increased, resulting in the formation of insoluble elements, Asphaltenes. These can cause filter blocking and engine and fuel system deposits. In small quantities the soft and deformable Asphaltenes can be harmless to the Injection System. Yet when they combine together they start to block fuel filters effecting engine performance.

WATER IN FUEL
Water is present in some form in all diesel fuel. It is introduced thru delivery, condensation or contamination. Water in diesel causes corrosion of the fuel componentry, erosion of injector tips, increases fuel freezing point, assists in the growth of microbes (no water equals no microbes, bugs or algae). Engine OEM’s do not want any water going into the fuel injection system and install fuel / water separators on all diesel engines. Water decreases fuel lubricity, causing wear. Demulsifies in fuel help water molecules join together and become large enough for the fuel water separators to remove them. OEM’s recommend the use of demulsifiers in any fuel additive as it help the fuel water separators do its job.

COLD WEATHER STARTS
Diesel in cold weather is prone to waxing or gelling. This is called Cloud Point where fuel begins to develop solid wax particles giving it a cloudy appearance. The presence of solidified waxes thickens the oil, tends to clog fuel filters and injectors in engines. Crystals can build up in the fuel line (especially in fuel filters) until the engine is starved of fuel, causing it to stop running or not to start. Indications of this is when fuel goes from clear to cloudy, and this can begin at temperature as high as 5˚C, depending on fuel quality.

INJECTOR FOULING
Modern diesel fuel injectors have very “strict tolerances” to allow injector pressures up to 30,000 PSI / 200 Mpa. Fuel injectors are built to this specification to meet legislative emission requirements to provide maximum power and economy, and reduce emissions. Fouling of injectors is caused by the build-up foreign contaminants and cause excessive exhaust smoke, decreased power, increase fuel consumption, increased injector noise and ultimately failure of the injector.
