When the temperature drops, even
the best-maintained equipment can be brought to a halt
by gelled fuel. DIESEL FUEL
POUR DEPRESSANT from Texas
Refinery Corp. helps keep your fuel flowing smoothly and
your equipment running when other fuels become thick and
slow-flowing. |
Increases
Cold-Weather Operability
When
cold weather hits, diesel fuel is directly affected. The
paraffin wax present in the fuel begins to separate and
crystallize. The temperature at which this cloudiness begins is
the fuel's CLOUD POINT.
When
the temperature of the fuel is low enough, it reaches its POUR
POINT, or the lowest temperature, the fuel is still sufficiently
fluid to be pumped or transferred.
Lowers
the pour point allowing the fuel to flow freely in cold
temperatures . . . even when untreated fuels have "lost the
battle of the waxes."
Retards
Wax Formation
By
modifying the size and shape of the wax crystals,
DIESEL FUEL POUR DEPRESSANT
keeps them from combining with one another
to form a gel. The fuel is allowed to flow freely through lines,
filters, screens, and pumps without clogging.
Will
slow wax formation even in fuel meeting minimum specifications,
now supplied by many refineries. This fuel can then be used at
much lower temperatures than would normally be expected.
Reduces
Downtime
When
considering all the facts, downtime can be quite expensive. Not
only is a particular piece of equipment not working, but neither
is the operator for that equipment. In addition, repair costs
are growing daily, not to mention other equipment and crews that
are waiting for the inoperative piece of equipment to be fixed.
Obviously, a lot of expense can be incurred by a single piece of
equipment not functioning properly.
Because
this productkeeps fuel flowing freely at lower temperatures than
usual, much of the normal downtime due to cold weather can be
avoided. Therefore, increased production (and profits) can be
expected by keeping that piece of equipment doing its job.
Easy To
Use
Simply
add to diesel fuel. For best results, it should be added to the
storage tank before adding the fuel. As the fuel is added, it
will mix with the fuel. This same method can be used for adding
to fuel tanks.
One
very important note: DIESEL FUEL
POUR DEPRESSANT must be added to
diesel fuel BEFORE the fuel has reached its cloud point . . . in
other words, the fuel must be free of wax crystals at the time
it is treated for effective performance.
Mixes
Readily
Specially formulated for all types of diesel fuels. It provides
added convenience in mixing and there are no special techniques
nor tools needed for mixing the product.
Excellent
Treat Ratio
When
treated at a recommended rate of one gallon to 1,000 gallons of
fuel, a 20°F. drop in pour point can be expected on a fuel that
has not been previously treated. If this 1,000 gallons is
treated with another gallon of
DIESEL FUEL POUR DEPRESSANT, the
pour point can be lowered up to an additional 8 - 10°F.
Subsequent treatments will lower the pour point less, which
illustrates the fact that wax crystals can only be modified a
certain amount, regardless of the type of treatment.
