Fuel & Lubricity

Today's diesel powered vehicles feature low emission engines that are more susceptible than ever to fuel related wear. Higher fuel injection pressures, hotter fuel return temperature, complex engine geometry and higher engine operating temperatures - all these cause increased fuel system wear and shorten engine life.

By eliminating certain naturally found in fuel that aid in engine lubricity, the increase in refinery hydrotreating processes actually diminishes fuel lubricity. As hydrotreating reduces the sulfur content of the fuel to 0.5%, it also alters these naturally occurring compounds. The result is increased engine and fuel system wear. The move to ultra-low sulfur diesel will make these problems worse.

Performance Plus contains special lubricity agents to achieve optimal fuel lubricity and engine protection.
