DZL-PEP ARCTIC is a complete package offering
lubrication, moisture control, anti-rust, and anti-
corrosion chemistry. Detergents in DZL-PEP
ARCTIC remove deposits & prevent deposits from
forming, which restores lost power and improves fuel
economy. Other benefits include protecting the fuel
from thermal break-down, providing a strong anti-
oxidant to improve fuel storage life, improve fuel filter
life, and of course, the ability to handle wax crystal
formation.
DZL-PEP ARCTIC with AAT (Advanced Additive
Technology) is a multi-functional fuel additive. DZL-
PEP ARCTIC’s unique chemistry allows users to
match treat ratios to conditions and performance
requirements. Fuel quality and equipment needs
change from region to region, it’s extremely important
to be able to adjust treat ratios for your individual
equipment demands. The Performance Package
(1:2000 ratio) drops the Pour Point and Cold Filter
Plugging Point (CFPP) an average of 15 degrees F.
The Premium Performance Package (1:1000 ratio)
drops the Pour Point and CFPP an average of 25
degrees F. This helps prevent gelling of the wax,
which allows better fuel flow and equipment operation
in severe cold weather conditions.
When wax crystals form they change the viscosity of the fuel. The viscosity of the fuel is significant because
the fuel serves as a lubricant for the fuel system components. Fuels need to have sufficient viscosity. The fuel
must be able to lubricate the fuel system in both extremely cold and extremely hot temperatures. In Caterpillar
engines, if the kinematic viscosity of the fuel is lower than 1.4 cSt, as supplied to the fuel injection pump or unit
injectors, excessive scuffing and seizure can occur.
DZL-PEPARCTIC with AAT acts as a great pour point depressant, preventing wax that is present in diesel fuel
from congealing at low temperatures. Congealing occurs when the wax in diesel fuels crystalizes and combines
to form crystal networks which can restrict and prevent fuel flow.
DZL-PEP ARCTIC w/AAT eliminiates deposits
in today’s close tolerance, sophisticated
injection systems.

Pour point depressants do not prevent wax
from crystallizing in the fuel. Depressants coat the
wax crystals and therefore, change the structure
of the crystals. DZL-PEP ARCTIC controls wax
crystals through its unique Advanced Additive
Technology. This process prevents the formation
of large interlocking needle-like masses. Instead,
smaller, rounded, free-moving particles are
formed, which permits fuel flow.
Because the quality of diesel fuel varies
so much, some customers will use DZL-PEP
ARCTIC at ratios of 1:750 (1 ounce to 6 gallons
diesel fuel) in the coldest months. Another reason to use the 1:750 ratio is bio-diesel (B2 thru B20), because
bio-diesel can cause Internal Diesel Injector Deposits (IDID) in high pressure common rail diesel fuel injection
systems. DZL-PEP ARCTIC can remove IDID (some very tough deposits) and can keep the total fuel system in
great shape.
A common winter practice is to blend #2 Diesel Fuel with kerosene, alcohol, or harmful solvents in an attempt
to winterize fuel. When these are added to the diesel fuel, it burns quicker, hotter and drier. Such a mixture greatly
reduces the fuels’ natural lubricity and greatly reduces the fuel efficiency and economy. DZL-PEP ARCTIC is the
safe way to keep equipment up and running. DZL-PEP ARCTIC contains no harmful ingredients and is suitable
for use in all types of Diesel and is even recommended for Bio-Diesel blends of B-2 through B-20. DZL-PEP
ARCTIC is formulated to allow fuel to burn at its optimum performance level.

High Frequency Reciprocating
Rig (HFRR) is a wear test based

lubricity to the fuel and then to
reduce wear.
