Frequently Asked Questions about
Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel Improvers
Opti-Lube XPD is our most popular product, with the highest
level of lubrication, with ingredients to boost cetane and prevent gelling in
cold weather.
Opti-Lube Winter Diesel Fuel Improver is suggested for extreme
cold climates, where temperatures regularly fall below zero.
This product also contains a cetane improver and provides excellent lubrication.
Opti-Lube Summer/Warm Climate Blend provides excellent
lubrication, and does not contain anti-gelling protection or a cetane improver.
Because of the low treatment ratio (3000:1), this is our most economical
product.
All Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel Improvers clean injectors, improve water separation,
reduce fuel system corrosion and improve fuel economy.
No, our fuel improvers are completely compatible with all
currently produced vehicles and equipment. No damage will be introduced, only
benefits
In most cases, Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel Improvers more than pay for
themselves through improved fuel economy.
The real savings is realized through protection and extended life of equipment.
Approximate cost to treat each gallon of fuel:
XPD: 07˘ to 15˘
Winter Blend: 08˘
Summer/Warm Climate Blend: 02˘ to 04˘
Virtually any type of Diesel
engine. All Diesel engines benefit from the features in Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel
Improvers, including those with the latest emissions equipment.
This varies by product, please see individual instructions.
All commercially available fuels will be improved by Opti-Lube
Fuel Improver. Our testing shows full compatibility with Bio-Diesel, up to B20.
While not designed for gasoline, some customers have reported a gas mileage
increase when XPD is added in small quantities (1oz per 5 gallons).
There is no Alcohol and no Teflon® or
any other solid particles in our fuel improver.
Cetane relates to how readily diesel fuel will combust in the
cylinder, higher numbers are better.
The cetane in modern fuel is reduced by the removal of sulfur (producing ULSF)
and winter blends of fuel, which frequently have kerosene added.
Improving cetane helps engines to start easier, and burn fuel more efficiently.
Most customers add half (or more) of the estimated amount before
fueling, then the remainder just before the tank is full.
The products easily disperse throughout the tank, no mixing is required
Fuels vary greatly by supplier, region and season. Typically no
benefits are found above the recommended maximum rate.
Yes, Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel Improvers contain no sulfur, and are
completely compatible with late model emissions equipment, including 2010
vehilces.
Regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter may happen less frequently, since
Opti-Lube treated fuel is burning more completely than untreated fuel.
These are multi-functional additives, each product improves
water separation (a demulsifier), prevent corrosion, improve storage life and
clean injectors.
The XPD and Winter products boost cetane and contain anti-gel additives. Each
product has been found to improve fuel economy in most cases.
All Diesel Engines will benefit.
Of note, older Diesel Engines were not designed to run on ULSF, so using a
lubricating additive is very important to extending equipment life.
