Etha-Protect

Description

Exocet® Etha-Protect has been specially formulated to enhance and protect petrol and petrol fuel systems where fuel is stored for long periods of time and/or the associated equipment is used only infrequently and when ethanol-containing fuel may be an issue. The product acts to upgrade the critical characteristics of the fuel and to delay the symptoms of fuel ageing. Additionally, it has anti-corrosion properties.

Features

Improves fuel shelf life
Cleans up and keeps clean fuel injectors and carburettors
Improves throttle response
Increases fuel economy
Controls combustion chamber deposit build-up
Reduces unwanted emissions
Protects against ethanol-based corrosion
Contains a high dose of antioxidant (anti-ageing) component
Delays discolouration, gum/solids formation
Maintains the fuel’s ignition quality
Has corrosion inhibition properties

Usage

Better throttle control/driveability is required
Require compatibility with bio-components (ethanol)
Desire optimum engine cleanliness
Slow fuel use and storage

Application

Exocet® Etha-Protect is intended for use in small storage tanks or directly in the vehicle/machinery fuel tank. The use of Exocet® Etha-Protect ensures that any concerns over fuel quality are eliminated and that even branded fuel is top-treated to achieve much enhanced performance.

Stored fuel often discolours, forms gums and other deposits and results in a deterioration in the ignition quality. Fuel ageing is irreversible and is accelerated by the addition of bio-components (e.g. bio ethanol) to the extent that latest specification fuels may only have a shelf life of 6-8 months.

Benefits

Protection

Cleaning

‘Clean up’ and ‘keep clean’ are at the root of the majority of our multifunctional packages for both open flame and internal combustion system enhancement. But ‘cleaning’ encompasses much more and exocet® problem solving products used in conjunction with our fuel preservation and tank cleaning products an all round fuel ‘polishing’ effect can be achieved.

Economy

Fuel economy in any system and in any equipment is largely achieved by maintaining that equipment at ‘factory settings’ or at its design parameters. Fuel additives that slow down or even stop the rate at which equipment ‘gets dirty’ or ‘fouls up’; all aid fuel economy. This may also be achieved by proper maintenance of the fuel in storage or by affecting its behaviour within the equipment.

Maintenance

exocet® fuel additive products used for maintenance are diverse, ranging for the one off rapid injector cleaning additives to fuel soluble biocides as well as tank cleaning and associated products.

Performance

‘Performance’, when attached to fuel, often conjures images of ‘faster’, ‘more powerful’ or ‘more economical’ and all of these can be achieved with the appropriate fuel additives. Fuel additives can also impact on fuel in storage, the handling properties of fuel and on the harmful effects the fuel itself can have on components within the fuel system both before and after the combustion process.
