Gasoline Additives Ensure Top Fuel Performance
BEWARE OF BAD GASOLINE
In addition to ever-escalating gasoline prices, motorists must
also be concerned with the quality of the gasoline
they purchase. Two of the most prevalent quality problems are inadequate levels
of dispersant-detergent
additives and inadequate octane levels.
DISPERSANT-DETERGENT ADDITIVES
Gasoline formulated with proper levels of dispersant detergent
additives clears away carbon and varnish deposits and keeps fuel injectors,
intake valves and combustion chambers clean and operating efficiently. However,
according to industry sources, about 85 percent of all U.S. gasoline contains
only one tenth
of the recommended deposit-control additive dosage.
In efforts to increase profit margins, gasoline suppliers often
reduce, eliminate or use less effective dispersant-detergent additives. Some
commonly used low quality deposit control additives accumulate on intake valve
stems and cause them to stick, while others cause additional combustion chamber
deposits. High quality additives effectively keep injectors, valves and
combustion chambers deposit-free, are more expensive and often replaced with
cheaper knock-offs.
The accumulation of carbon and varnish deposits clogs fuel
injectors, restricts intake valve seating, disrupts injector spray patterns and
reduces fuel delivery, leading to engine misfire, rough idle, engine hesitation
and stall during acceleration, detonation, reduced fuel economy and increased
emissions. Varnish buildup is especially bad after a hot engine is shut down and
experiences heat soak, where residual fuel in the injector tips evaporates and
leaves waxy compounds behind, forming varnish that clogs the injector. The
hotter, middle injectors in an engine are most vulnerable to heat soak.
High mileage and “severe service” engines can benefit greatly
from cleaning the injectors, intake valves and
combustion chambers. Cleaning the injectors restores proper fuel delivery and
improves performance, while
cleaning the intake valves restores proper air flow and cleaning the combustion
chamber reduces compression
and the risk of detonation.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVER
P.i. Performance Improver Concentrate (API)
is the most potent gasoline
additive available today. As a concentrated detergent, it is unsurpassed
in cleaning combustion chamber deposits, intake valve deposits and port
fuel injector deposits. AMSOIL P.i. helps maintain peak engine
efficiency, fuel economy, power and drivability in newer low mileage
engines. In engines with accumulated deposits, testing showed AMSOIL P.i.
provided the following clean-up benefits after only one tank of
gasoline:
• Improves fuel
mileage an average of 2.3% and up to 5.7%
• Reduced emissions
— hydrocarbons (HC) up to 15%
— carbon monoxide (CO) up to 26%
— nitrous oxides (NOx) up to 17%
• Restored power and performance
• Reduced need for costly higher octane fuel
• Reduced noise from carbon rap and pre-ignition
• Better drivability
• Smoother operation
AMSOIL
Quickshot SE
Degraded fuel presents a major
maintenance issue in small engines and powersports equipment. It can
form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel
injectors and fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of
pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle
response. Fuel-related problems are only expected to intensify in the
coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to
increase.
AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is a
premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly clean and restore peak
performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. It
also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods.
Its revolutionary technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues
plaguing small engines and powersports equipment: ethanol, water and
dirty pump gas.

SERIES 2000 OCTANE BOOST
AMSOIL
Series 2000 Octane Boost improves
the performance of all two-cycle and four-cycle gasoline-fueled engines.
Just one treatment significantly increases engine response and power.
AMSOIL Octane Boost reduces engine
knock, improves ignition and helps fuel burn cleaner.
AMSOIL Octane Boost is the recommended
octane boost for all high-performance off-road and racing applications.
Most users will find one 12-ounce
bottle of AMSOIL Octane Boost for 15 gallons of gasoline provides the
ideal performance increase.
AMSOIL Octane Boost is also excellent
as a lead substitute at same treat rates in collector automobiles, older
off-road equipment and pleasure vehicles.
AMSOIL
GASOLINE STABILIZER
Gasoline is not formulated for
long-term storage and can start to degrade in as little as 60 days,
leading to varnish and sludge deposits that clog injectors, fuel lines
and carburetors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance,
starting problems, increased maintenance expenses and decreased
equipment life.
It is difficult to drain all of the
fuel from equipment before storage, and doing so would expose the system
to other problems, including the formation of rust and corrosion on the
bare metal in the tank and fuel system and the drying and cracking of
gaskets and seals. Some fuels are pre-treated with oxidation inhibitors
that allow them to be stored for short periods without forming excessive
deposits, while other fuels have no inhibitors at all.
AMSOIL
Gasoline Stabilizer (AST) reduces
the oxidation occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods, improving
performance, extending equipment life and decreasing maintenance
expenses.
