One gallon of AFC-705 completely cleans a full 5000-gallon fuel tank. This full spectrum additive package cleans the entire diesel fuel system, restores diesel fuel quality and provides Optimal Diesel Fuel Quality for engines and storage tanks, improving fuel economy, reducing emissions and lowering operating cost, maintenance and down time.
We all agree that most engine failures originate in the diesel fuel tank. Frequent fuel filter changes, diesel fuel dialysis and tank cleaning are generally viewed as good house keeping, and have become accepted as standard periodic maintenance.
The normal aging process of the fuel is often accelerated by microbial contamination, chemical incompatibility and condensation of water in the system. Oxidation, polymerization and stratification will lead to darkening of the diesel fuel, the build up of tank sludge, filter plugging, corrosion, and diesel fuel breakdown, We will see a slimy, jelly like layer develop in the water-fuel interface, while a bio-film is growing on the bottom, walls and baffles of service and storage tanks, inside fuel lines and delivery systems.
The process of diesel fuel breakdown is most severe in the bottom of our tanks. Every time we fill our tanks, we mix and contaminate the fresh fuel with our residual fuel, and add new oxygen, which accelerates the problem. Because we primarily use the higher and therefore dryer layers of the diesel fuel, it is easy to overlook the symptoms of this continuous process of fuel breakdown.
Suddenly we get a wake up call, and experience some of all of these symptoms:
- Clogged filters
- Fouled and Corroded Injectors
- Smoking Engines
- Loss of Power and RPMs
- Fuel Pump Problems
- COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE
All of this can be prevented by simply monitoring fuel quality, and using the available ALGAE-X technology.
The biocides, surfactants and dispersants in AFC-705 completely break down and dissolve the tank sludge and bio-film. It eliminates clogged filter elements and recovers the BTU value that would otherwise be lost.
Traditionally tank cleaning meant filtering the diesel fuel in the tank, or removing the diesel fuel for filtration, or complete diesel fuel disposal often in conjunction with opening the tank and physically removing tank sludge and bio-film. All these techniques are time consuming, costly and only partially effective in particular when we realize that filtration will only remove the suspended debris and has no effect on the bio-film growing on tank walls, bottom and baffles, or on the process of fuel break down. At best we can expect only temporary relief at an extremely high price.
We recommend the use of AFC-705 to completely decontaminate and clean the entire fuel system, with the simultaneous installation of an inline ALGAE-X Fuel Conditioner to insure continuous Optimal Diesel Fuel Quality, enhanced combustion, and reduced emissions.
The AFC-705 catalyst enhances and complements the effects of the ALGAE-X inline magnetic diesel fuel conditioner, and reduces diesel fuel consumption by at least an extra five to ten percent.
When fuel economy is of primary importance the continued use of AFC-705 is strongly recommended in conjunction with the installation of an ALGAE-X inline magnetic diesel fuel condition, FC Series device.
