Diesel starts to degrade from the moment it leaves the refinery and enters the supply chain. This process is intensified through the addition of Biofuel. Even top grade diesel goes through this process of degradation as it is a natural occurrence and this degradation continues while in the storage tanks.:
The 2 Main Reasons for Diesel Degradation
1. Condensation which takes place inside the tanks either storage of equipment/vehicle tanks. Diesel contains dissolved water & when humid air reaches the inner reservoirs, climate conditions generate temperature variations inside the tank, this in turn causes an acumination of water on the top of the tanks. The acuminated water condenses, and when it falls together with pieces of metal/plastic it contaminates the fuel in the tank.
This sets of a chain of problematic reactions which degrades the fuel & forms Sludge”:
- The development of micro-organisms Bacteria, Fungi, & Yeasts.
- The oxidation of the fuel due to the presence of air and water in the tanks.
- Corrosion of metallic tanks & erosion of plastic tanks.
2. When more Biofuel is added to diesel, there is a corresponding reduction in the content of sulphur. Sulphur is a natural element that prevents the proliferation of micro-organisms, and when reduced will cause the increasing formation of sludge & sediments as a result, which cause obstructions in the whole fuel system.
- Nozzles
- Fuel pumps
- Conduit pipes
- Filters
- Pick up tubes
This degradation of the diesel harms the performance of the fuel, which in turn harms the performance of the engines it is used in, leading to users seeing a loss of power resulting and other problems associated with blocked fuel filters and injectors.
Actioil, a multi-functional product that has 9 groups of chemical components to treat 22 problems at once. Actioil
- Eliminates & prevents the reappearance of bacteria.
- Improves the lubricity of the fuel.
- Forms a protective Nano-film that prevents corrosion of the tanks & diesel systems.
- Atomizes water particles & encompass them so they are eliminated together with the fuel.
- Protects the pumps & injectors.
- Restores the performance of diesel engines.
- Increases the effective life of the fuel from 30 days to 9 months.
- Prevents the formation of paraffin & the crystallization of the fuel.
- Transforms the sludge in the base of your tank back into fuel.
Actioil is a treatment with Biocide used worldwide & approved by some of the largest fuel suppliers and vehicle manufacturers. Using Actioil is very easy and provides for long-lasting action restoring your fuel and improving its performance. Actioil can be used as an alternative to the costly cleaning options of draining your tanks and disposing of the sludge in the bottom which is effectively diesel that can be restored for use by using Actioil. Protection from treatment of your tank with Actioil can last for up to three years. The cleanliness of the storage tank is the guarantee of healthy fuel.
