SCHAEFFER FUEL ADDITIVES

Known for our greases and engine oils, Schaeffer also produces of premium quality fuel additives. These additives extend engine and component life, increase fuel economy and improve overall engine efficiency and performance.

In the 1950s, Schaeffer introduced Neutra Fuel Stabilizer, our first line of fuel additives. Since then, we continue to improve its fuel additive formula, engineering additives with functions and benefits specific to industry, current EPA mandates, fuel type and climactic conditions.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Every product we formulate undergoes a rigorous testing and development process – and our fuel additives are no exception. Along with laboratory testing to ensure quality and compatibility, each product is also subjected to a battery of field trials to verify it meets our stringent performance standards. Assessments include repetitive dynomometer testing and track tests conducted at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio.

Additionally, Schaeffer’s Fuel Doctor analysis program provides a prevention strategy by detecting and eliminating contaminants such as water, sludge and microorganisms.

INDUSTRIES SERVED

Schaeffer’s current line of fuel additives have been developed to satisfy the needs of drivers and operators in a variety of industries, including over-the-road trucking, agriculture, construction, mining and even competitive racing. The products are formulated with additives for both summer and winter conditions, as well as environmentally-friendly soy-based products and conditioner products designed to protect large fuel supplies during storage.

Schaeffer Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Winter Premium is a multifunctional ultra-low sulfur compliant diesel Schaeffer fuel additive that is specifically formulated for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. Providing maximum cold temperature protection against fuel gelling, waxing, and fuel line freeze-up, in addition to providing improved fuel efficiency, increased power, increased fuel lubricity, improved injector cleanliness and improved fuel stability.

Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Winter Premium can also be used in all types of diesel fuel including low sulfur diesel fuel and biodiesel blends.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Winter Premium contains a highly concentrated multi-functional additive package, which allows the product to provide the following performance benefits when used at the recommended treatment ratio:

1. Improvement of the fuel’s cetane rating up to two points.
2. Easier cold weather starting.
3. Reduced misfiring at lower air inlet temperatures.
4. Faster warm-up.
5. Cummins L-10 Injector Depositing Test and Cummins N-14 Injector
   Corrosion Test Performance.
6. Detergency to provide cleanliness throughout the entire fuel system.
7. Clean up and keep clean performance for the entire fuel system.
8. Dispersion of insoluble gums and varnish present in low quality fuels.
9. Excellent deposit control for light duty and medium duty in direct injected
   diesel engines.
10. Improved combustion of the fuel by completely vaporizing the fuel into
    smaller particles, thus providing better fuel economy and preventing a
    significant loss in engine power.
11. Improved fuel economy up to 3%.
12. Modification of existing injector deposits, allowing for their removal and
    safe passage into the combustion chamber where they can be burned.

Coupled with this multifunctional additive package is a non-alcohol jet fuel deicer / water dispersant. This non-alcohol jet fuel deicer/water dispersant eliminates the problems associated with entrained and/or dissolved water present in the fuel by dispersing the water into tiny droplets. These tiny droplets are suspended in the fuel so they can be carried with the fuel in controlled amounts through the fuel filters, fuel lines, and into the combustion chamber to be burned with the fuel. By having any remaining water dispersed and suspended in the fuel, Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Winter eliminates the formation of ice crystals that can block fuel lines and plug fuel filters and prevents the formation of stable fuel-water emulsions.

Changes in the refining process of middle distillates to make Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel have resulted in chemical changes that can significantly impact the low temperature operability of the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. These chemical changes have resulted in an increase in the amount of total wax (n-paraffins) and wax-to-wax ratios present in the fuel. This results in the wax particles in Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel being more concentrated and harder to disperse. As the temperature of the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel drops, these increased amounts of wax molecules can begin to rapidly precipitate out of the fuel and form either large flat crystals or irregular crystals that can quickly plug fuel lines and filters.

Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Winter Premium contains a proprietary wax crystal modifier, cold flow improver; heavy wax modifier polymeric type additive system that when added to the diesel fuel before the fuel has reached its cloud point helps to prevent the formation of wax crystals. The proprietary polymeric additive system modifies the individual wax crystals by encapsulating and
dispersing them as they are formed. This not only drastically reduces the size of the wax crystals, but also prevents the growth of larger wax crystals and their adhesion to each other. This in turn allows the wax crystals to flow through the fuel filters and lines and into the combustion chamber with the fuel.

By the addition of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Premium Winter, the gelling point and low temperature operability of the fuel can be significantly improved. This improvement in low temperature operability is dependent upon the refining method or process used to make the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel and the response of the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel to the additive. Prevention of Settling of Wax Crystals at Low Temperatures.

Diesel fuel tends to exhibit reduced flow at reduced temperatures due in part to formation of solids in the fuel. The solids, which are wax crystals, have a slightly higher density than the diesel fuel at a given temperature, and as a result there is a tendency for the wax to settle to the bottom of the storage container. The reduced flow of the diesel fuel affects the transport and use of the diesel fuel not
only during storage but also in an internal combustion engine. If the diesel fuel is cooled to below a temperature at which solid formation begins to occur in the fuel, generally known as the cloud point (ASTM D 2500) or wax appearance point (ASTM D 3117), solids forming in the fuel in time will essentially prevent the flow of the fuel, plugging piping during transport of the fuel, and in inlet lines supplying an engine. Under low temperature conditions during consumption of the diesel fuel, as in a diesel engine, wax precipitation and gelation can cause the engine fuel filter to plug. Wax formation and settling can occur in the fuel tank after an extended period of non-use, such as overnight, and increase the chances of engine failure because of non-uniform wax enrichment. The same problem of wax settling can occur on a larger scale in fuel storage tanks. Under conditions where the fuel still flows after solids have formed in the fuel, an effect known as channeling may occur. When the outlet valve on the container is opened, the initial fuel flow will be wax enriched. Then, a channel is created in the wax layer, allowing a quantity of liquid fuel depleted in wax to flow. The low-wax fuel will continue to flow if the container is not refilled or agitated. The final portion of fuel flowing from the container will then be highly wax enriched.

With the changes in the refining process of middle distillates to make Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel and the increase in the amounts of total wax (n-paraffins) and wax-to-wax ratios present in the fuel these components will begin to precipitate out rapidly as the temperature of the diesel fuel is lowered. These wax crystals which separate from the diesel fuel initially appear as individual crystals and more crystals form in the fuel, they tend begin to agglomerate and eventually reach a particle size which is too great to remain suspended in the fuel. The wax crystals forming in a fuel normally have a slightly higher density than the liquid fuel portion resulting in these wax crystals to settle to the bottom of the vehicle fuel tanks and the fuel storage tanks.

Diesel Treat 2000™ Ultra Low Sulfur Premium Winter contains a proprietary wax antisettling agent (WASA) that is designed to prevent the paraffins and other waxy components which This helps increases the diesel fuel’s cold weather operability and reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

Carbon Treat Premium Summer contains a highly concentrated multi-functional additive package, which allows the product to provide the following performance benefits when used at the recommended treatment ratio.

Arctic Flow Plus+ is a concentrated, multifunctional diesel fuel treatment that eliminates the major problems associated with diesel fuel during winter use: moisture and gelling. Arctic Flow Plus+ eliminates the problems associated with dissolved moisture present in the fuel by dispersing the moisture into tiny droplets. These tiny droplets are suspended in the fuel so they can be carried with the fuel through the fuel filters, fuel lines, and into the combustion chamber to be burned with the fuel. By having the remaining moisture dispersed and suspended in the fuel, Arctic Flow Plus+ eliminates the formation of ice crystals that can block fuel lines and plug fuel filters.

Arctic Flow Plus+, when added to the diesel fuel before the fuel has reached its cloud point, and prevents the formation of wax crystals. The flow improvers in Arctic Flow Plus+ modify the individual wax crystals by encapsulating and dispersing them as they are formed. This not only drastically reduces the size of the wax crystals, but also prevents the growth of larger wax crystals and their adhesion to each other. This in turn allows the wax crystals to flow through the fuel filters and lines and into the combustion chamber with the fuel. With the addition of Arctic Flow Plus+, the gelling point of the fuel is lowered on an average 15° to 25°F below the original gelling point of the untreated diesel fuel. Also the addition of Arctic Flow Plus+ to the diesel fuel can eliminate or reduce the amount of No. 1 diesel fuel that is blended into the No. 2 diesel fuel during extremely cold weather.

INCREASED LUBRICITY PROTECTION WITH SYNSHIELD®

Today’s diesel powered vehicles feature low emission engines that are more susceptible than ever to diesel fuel related wear. Diesel engine designs are employing the use of higher fuel injection pressures, hotter fuel return temperatures, higher operating temperatures and complex engine geometry to control emissions. All of these factors result in increased fuel system wear and
can shorten engine life.

With the mandate by the United States EPA to reduce the sulfur content of diesel fuels to control emissions, this has resulted the elimination of certain naturally occurring polar compounds that aid in protection of the fuel system from wear by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces of the fuel injection system. The increased use of the hydrotreating and hydrocracking refining processes to reduce the sulfur content of the diesel fuel in order to meet the mandated Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel specification of 15 ppm causes these naturally occurring polar compounds to become either chemically altered or completely removed, thus resulting in increased engine and fuel system wear.
