Why Diesel Fuel Needs To Be Treated

Winter Problems
Cold weather in diesel fuel causes: 1. wax formation, 2. ice crystals and 3. poor stability. The result is a loss of mileage efficiency, power and increased downtime.


  1. Actual Wax from Gelled Diesel Fuel
    Wax Crystal Formation - Cold weather wax buildup on fuel filters or gelled fuel can stop an engine DEAD! As the temperature drops, the waxy components in all diesel fuel begin to form small crystals – this is the cloud point. As the temperature drops further, crystals connect to form a lattice network that thickens diesel fuel. Ultimately the fuel can gel and prevent flow through filters and small lines leading to the injectors.
  2. Ice Crystals - When the temperature drops below 32º, any water that is contained in diesel fuel has the potential of crystallizing, blocking fuel filters and fuel lines.
  3. Stability - Diesel fuel has the tendency to degrade from exposure to air and heat during storage. This "normal" environment leads to the formation of insoluble residues or deposits in tanks that eventually are spread through out the fuel system. Heat stressing the fuel at the injectors and pump can also cause the fuel to break down and deposits to form.

PREVENT WINTER FUEL PROBLEMS
Cyclo’s Diesel Fuel Conditioner + Anti-Gel

3 Products in One

1. Anti-Gel – Winter Protection 2. Deicer and Water Remover 3. Fuel Stabilizer

Cyclo’s Advanced Formula Diesel Fuel Treatment is designed to help prevent the major problems and downtime caused by cold weather diesel fuel wax, ice crystals and poor stability. This unique formula, which contains no alcohol attacks and helps reverse the effect of paraffin wax, water and carbon – the three major problems associated with diesel fuel.
Cyclo Advanced Formula - Diesel Fuel Treatment
Lowers operating temperature up to 50ºF • Prevents fuel filter plugging from wax or ice • Disperses water • Prevents rust & corrosion • Melts ice crystals • Keeps injectors clean
THE RESULT IS: REDUCED DOWNTIME! BETTER FUEL MILEAGE! INCREASED POWER!

1. ANTI-GEL System – Winter Protection - Cyclo Advanced Formula Diesel Fuel Treatment combines an excellent cold flow improver and a pour point depressant to inhibit wax crystal formation. It provides up to 50ºF lower operating temperature than untreated fuel (depending on the fuel and treatment level – see chart) to help prevent fuel line and fuel filter plugging.
- Wax Crystal Formation - The Cyclo anti-gel system is different than many competitive brands because it alters the crystal structure as the wax molecules begin to separate and settle out of the fuel. Most important, Cyclo performs the
harder job of reducing the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) temperature.
2. WATER REMOVER & DE-ICER - Aviation Approved - Removes Water and Prevents Ice Crystal Formation
Cyclo’s high quality de-icer inhibits ice crystal formation to prevent blocked fuel filters and fuel lines. This formula permits water to be blended into the fuel in a very fine dispersion to safely burn the water in the combustion chamber. Cyclo also coats the system to prevent any ice crystals that may form from sticking to fuel tank or fuel line surfaces. This will prevent blockage while the de-icer melts the crystals.
- Helps Prevent Rust!
Water in fuel can cause severe rusting of injectors and pumps. Cyclo controls water to prevent rust and fuel system corrosion.
3. Fuel Stabilizer - Cyclo helps maintain fuel stability to reduce carbon and varnish buildup and helps keep fuel injectors clean. Cyclo is formulated to assure good storage stability and protect against deterioration at elevated engine temperatures.

Diesel fuel itself, is the cause of major operational inefficiencies in diesel engines in both warm and cold weather conditions. The physical and chemical composition of diesel fuel, if untreated will cause waxing, clogged fuel lines, fouled injectors, and excessive smoking.   All this can be treated and avoided with Cyclo products.

Year-Around Problems

Although diesel engines have improved greatly in recent years, they still start to lose efficiency and power after several thousand miles of service. The problem is caused by diesel fuel – a fossil-based fuel that contains natural contaminants. All diesel fuels tend to form varnish, gum and carbon on injectors which can harm performance and waste fuel. As injectors and injector nozzles gradually become plugged, it is harder to ignite the fuel. The results are lost power and black smoke. An effective way to restore the engine to peak efficiency is fuel system cleaning. 

PREVENTS YEAR-AROUND FUEL PROBLEMS
Cyclo’s Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner
Cyclo Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner, C-21 - Cleans injectors and fuel system • Restores performance to save fuel • Reduces smoke emissions • Removes water • Lubricant for low sulfur fuel

HOW IT WORKS!!!!!
Cyclo Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner is formulated to remove and prevent carbon, gum, and other residues that build up in the fuel delivery system and to disperse the residue so that it is safely burned in the combustion chamber.  This action helps keep the injectors clean and operating efficiently, which also acts to reduce smoking.

SPRAY PATTERN TEST RESULTS
Cyclo Diesel Fuel Injector Clean is designed to meet or exceed the Cummins L-10 superior performance requirements for diesel injector cleanliness. This test was designed to measure performance
levels for diesel injector cleanliness.  The photos illustrate Cyclo C21 additive’s ability to clean and restore injectors.

SMOKE TEST RESULTS
Keeping the injectors clean and operating efficiently also acts to reduce smoking.  Test results on 3 vehicles using Cyclo Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner show a substantial reduction in smoke

THE RESULT IS:  REDUCED DOWNTIME!  MORE POWER!  IMPROVED MILEAGE!

TREATMENT: One quart treats up to 150 gallons.  Use every 15,000 miles.
