1990 Clean Air Act Amendments

Energy Policy Act of 2005

4 billion gallons by 2006

6.1 billion gallons by 2009

7.5 billion gallons by 2012

EPA Approves E-15

• Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 bio-fuel requirement• 12.95 Billion gallon 2010 • 36 Billion gallon 2022

• 2010 E-15 gasoline approved for 2001 and newer cars and light trucks • 70 to 80% of all vehicles on the road

• E-20 a possibility???

• B-20 a possibility???

EPA E-15 Mock-up Warning Label

EPA Diesel Fuel Legislation• The cleaner diesel fuel program

• reduces sulfur content,

• Provides immediate health benefits

• allows engine manufacturers to begin using advanced emissions control systems that further reduce harmful emissions.

• The diesel program regulations are located in 40 CFR Part 80 subpart I.

• Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) is 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur specification

• Phased in for highway diesel fuel from 2006-2010.

• Emissions will be reduced by more than 90%.

• Diesel engines equipped with advanced emission control devices (generally, 2007 and later model years) must use highway ULSD fuel.

• Low sulfur (500 ppm) and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will be phased in for non-road, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) engines from 2007-2014. These fuel requirements, coupled with advanced emission control technologies, will decrease

Ethanol Issues

Why Is Ethanol So Bad?

• Deteriorates rubber, plastic& fiberglass

• Attracts Water

• Causes gasoline to prematurely decompose

Ethanol Damage

• Damaged plastic and rubber fuel system components, particularly in older power equipment not designed to tolerate ethanol.

• The primer line & return lines are brittle causing fuel to leak and the fuel lines to disintegrate form ethanol

Ethanol Phase Separation

• Severe phase separation creating the severe corrosion

• This carburetor must be replaced

Engine Failure from Varnished / Stale Fuel

• Engine ran on marginal fuel

• Hard to start

• Low power.

• Gummed all of the internal components

• Sticking the rings

Phase Separation Damage

Bottom clear layer is mostly ethanol

Diesel Issues

Problems With Modern Diesel Fuels

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel 97% less sulfur

• Reduced lubrication• Higher amounts of water • Cold weather freezing

Clogged fuel injectors

Damaged injector pumps

Symptoms of Contaminated Fuel

If you have experienced the following issues, chances are they are caused by contaminated fuel.

• Frequent diesel particulate filter (DPF) burns• Clogged and slimy filters• Dark, hazy fuel • Sludge build up in tanks• Loss of power and rpm • Excess smoke • Corroded, pitted injectors• Turbo trouble• Injector pump failure

Water Creates Microbe Growth

Poor Fuel Efficiency

Diesel Contamination Types

• Diesel bug

• Bacteria

• Mold

• Yeast

Diesel Contamination Types

• Biofilms

• Asphaltines

• Gums and other organic contaminants

• Wax

• Sludge

• Other particles

If not attended to the DPF will need to be removed and cleaned

EXPENSIVE PROCESS!

Exhaust Gas Recirculation

• (EGR) valves are part of the emissions system

• The purpose of the EGR is to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

• “Dirty” exhaust will prevent the EGR from operating properly

• The EGR can be stuck in any position which will affect how efficiently the fuel will burn

• By using Diesel Mechanic in a Bottle, the fuel will burn cleaner thus keeping the EGR valve working properly for a longer period of time.

Bio-Diesel Blend Facts

• 5-7% Less BTU

• Biodegradable

• Prone to fuel fouling

• Absorbs 10 X more water

• Corrodes fuel system components

• Harmful to rubber and plastic

• Acts as a solvent

• Gelling in cold weather

PREVENT

Multi Purpose Ethanol Fuel Stabilizer

Remove water to prevent Phase Separation

Protect the rubber & plastic components from ethanol

Stabilize the gasoline to ensure quick starting and prevent stale fuel

Burn Test

Non Ethanol Shield has carbon build up at 38 hours, theoretically 50 hours should have more carbon build up

Ethanol Shield unit kept the exhaust port clear at 50 hours

Fix the fuel system & deep clean the carburetor without removal, even on non-running engines

Revitalize old fuel and delicate fuel system components safely

Cleanse power robbing carbon deposits from the engine’s internal components

FUEL HYGIENEWhere does fuel hygiene start?

It starts by knowing….

• Use fresh fuel• Purchase from a reputable source• Use a fuel additive to protect your fuel

system & extend the life of the fuel• Test your fuel

• Water / fuel clarity• Bio-Diesel• Acid
