FullON™-DurAlt® Fuel Conditioner has been beneficially used in conventional diesel fuel for many years. FullON™-DurAlt®. Technology accelerates the combustion process and significantly reduces the smoke and particulate emissions from diesel engines. It has shown to improve cetane number by about 2 points, reduce engine noise and improves fuel economy by an average of 8 to 12 percent.
Based on the experience in diesel fuel, FullON™-DurAlt® can be safely used with Bio-diesel and Bio-diesel blends. Since Bio-diesel has similar properties to conventional diesel, FullON™-DurAlt® is expected to provide similar benefits. In some cases there may be a synergistic effect and greater benefits may accrue by using FullON™-DurAlt® with Bio-diesel. The most important benefits are discussed below.
Bio-diesel reduces the emissions of insoluble particulates. FullON™-DurAlt® significantly reduces particulate matter (PM) emissions, hence the combination of Bio-diesel and FullON™-DurAlt® would result in much lower smoke and particulate emissions from diesel engines. Bio-diesel offers lower overall life cycle CO2 emissions. FullON™-DurAlt® improves fuel economy by an average of 8% to 12%; therefore, the use of FullON™-DurAlt® ®CFCin Bio-diesel would offer even lower CO2 emissions.
The use of Bio-diesel may result in loss of power and lower fuel economy. FullON™-DurAlt® accelerates the combustion process, increases cetane number, improves fuel economy, and reduces engine noise. Hence, it would compensate for power loss and fuel economy drawbacks of Bio-diesel.
FullON™-DurAlt® would reduce the cold start and gum formation problems that are sometimes encountered with use of Bio-diesel.
The use of Bio-diesel in diesel engines may require more frequent oil change and increased engine maintenance. FullON™-DurAlt® reduces deposit formation in engines and improves engine cleanliness. Therefore, it would compensate for increased maintenance and oil change problems encountered by Bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is more expensive than conventional diesel fuel. The use of FullON™-DurAlt® is economically very attractive.
