- Fuel Right provides a fuel additive that cleans fuel and improves its cleanliness level according to ISO 4406 cleanliness standards. It aims to reduce particulate matter down to ISO 13/9/7 levels which is cleaner than the WWFC standard of 18/16/13. - Field results from customers like Hensall Coop and Elgie Buses show that using Fuel Right improves fuel cleanliness over time and reduces particulate counts to levels better than WWFC standards. This is shown to extend engine life by reducing injector wear. - Cleaner fuel also improves vehicle performance with benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, better cold starting, and fewer injector failures observed by customers after using Fuel Right

5. Internal Injector Deposits
Images borrowed from CRC Report No. 665
(CRC Project No. DP-04-13a)
Carboxylate soap deposits Lacquer type deposits
New HPCR injectors are less tolerant of deposits and require much
cleaner fuel standards than ISO 4406 18/16/13

6. Carboxylate Deposits
Na/Ca salts
React with DDSA/HDSA
Used as a corrosion
control additive in the
pipeline industry
DDSA – dodecenyl succinic acid
HDSA – hexadecenyl succinic acid
