| New ValvTect Premium Marine Diesel Fuel
Prevents Bacteria |
 |
One of the most serious problems diesel boat owners face is the growth of microbiological contamination
(bacteria, yeast, algae, etc.) in diesel fuel. Left unchecked this contamination (commonly called "bugs")
can shut an engine down miles off shore, corrode engine and fuel system components and cost thousands of
dollars to clean up.
To solve this problem many marinas nationwide now offer a new diesel fuel specially formulated for marine
diesel engines to prevent bacteria and other types of microbiological contamination as well as reduce fuel
consumption, improve performance and extend engine life. This new diesel fuel, called ValvTect Premium Marine
Diesel with BioGuard contains Diesel Guard Supreme Plus 400 with BioGuard and is pre-blended by the fuel supplier.
Diesel Guard products are manufactured by ValvTect Petroleum Products, one of the largest fuel additive suppliers
to refiners, fuel marketers, truck fleets and marinas in the nation.
BioGuard micro-biocide had been documented to prevent all forms of fuel born microbiological growth that
contaminate diesel fuel. This microbiological contamination is typically introduced into the boat fuel tank by
airborne spores or contaminated fuel deliveries. They breed in the moisture normally present at the bottom of the
fuel tank and feed on the hydrocarbon based diesel fuel. As the bacteria grow they form a slime/sludge like substance
that can quickly plug fuel filters, restrict fuel to the engine, and totally shut down the engine. Enzymes created
by the bacteria are very corrosive and can destroy fuel system components. Continued use of an effective biocide,
such as BioGuard, is the best way to prevent dangerous and very expensive micro-biological contamination of diesel
fuel systems.
ValvTect Premium Marine Diesel also contains Diesel Guard Supreme Plus 400. This highly sophisticated premium
diesel additive has been documented to prevent and clean-up fuel injector deposits, stabilize the fuel, disperse
moisture, lubricate injectors and pumps and increase the fuels cetane number to provide more complete fuel combustion.
Extensive road and laboratory tests have documented up to 7% and 13% reduced fuel consumption, improved engine
horsepower output and longer engine life. In addition, the cetane improver can virtually eliminate objectionable
smoke, odor and transom soot.
ValvTect Premium Marine Diesel with BioGuard will only be available at Certified ValvTect Marine Fuel Marinas.
Each Certified Marina has agreed to provide ValvTect Premium Marine Diesel with BioGuard and ValvTect Marine
Gasoline with Octane Performance Improver in accordance with ValvTect’s strict quality control specifications.
