Frequently Asked Questions

What is Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive?

Fuel Saving Additive
Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive is a liquid blend of organic chemicals in a petroleum base. The ingredients of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive include detergents, combustion catalyst, chemicals that reduce the surface tension of the fuel oil, oxidation inhibitor and deposit modifiers. Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive is easily miscible and fully compatible with all varieties of fuel oil.

Why is Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive to be added before transferring fresh fuel to the tank?

Fuel Saving Additive
It is advised that Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive be added to the main storage tank just before fresh fuel is transferred to it because the agitation caused by the transfer of the fuel to the tank is enough for the additive to get homogenously mixed in the fuel oil.

How to verify the usefulness of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive?

Fuel Saving Additive
Before commencing with the trial use of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive, it is necessary to establish the existing parameters related to your energy generation equipment. This can be achieved by determining the steam/fuel ratio in boiler installations. After using Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive for a period of sixty days, it will be observed that the steam/fuel ratio will be about 4-7% higher than the similar ratio without the use of the additive.

Can Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive be tried out by using a small sample of, say, 5 litres?

Fuel Saving Additive
Yes. If your fuel oil consumption is very low and if 5 litres can be sufficient for 60 days of use, then a trial using 5 litres of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive will give you the desired results. However, if your consumption of fuel oil is much more, then 5 litres of the fuel oil additive would be suffice for only a few days. The benefits of using Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive are accumulative.

Why does fuel oil require additive treatment?

Fuel Saving Additive
we have seen, fuel oil is a residue that remains after crude oil is refined. The properties of fuel oil like viscosity, sludge content, presence of paraffinic and asphaltic particles and sulphur pose difficulties in the combustion of fuel oil. By treating the fuel with a suitable additive, many of these difficulties can be overcome and thermal energy can be extracted from the fuel to the fullest extent.

Which fuel additive is best?

Wentland Diesel Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Stanadyne's Performance Formula. Stanadyne, being a major manufacturer of fuel injection systems in America has formulated an all season additive and has been proven by an independent research institute to out perform all others on the market.

Should an additive be used in the fuel to keep it from clogging the fuel system?

Diesel Fuel Characteristics and use
The time proven remedy is to add a gallon of kerosene for each 10 to 20 gallons of fuel to the tank, then allow it to sit long enough for the kerosene to diffuse into the fuel. In weather below -20 degrees F, one gallon of kerosene for 10 gallons of fuel will keep things moving, but fuel economy will be reduced. Kerosene now has red dye which a DOT inspector will assume is off-road diesel. Be prepared for a hassle if you are checked.

Should I put a can of additive in with each oil change?

Harley-Davidson | Products | Motor Accessories
No, SYN3 is blended with an additive package already included. Other additives are not needed and may not be compatible with SYN3. In fact, oil additives may actually dilute the SYN3 formulation. If SYN3 is not available and addition of motor oil is required, the first choice would be to add H-D 360 SAE 20W50 to the SYN3 for engine lubrication. Although H-D 360 is compatible with SYN3, we suggest the mixture of the fluids be changed as soon as possible.

Are there other uses for the Centurion oil additive?

FAQ Centurion Oil Fortifier
Hundreds of uses, from manufacturing, construction, industrial, mining, power generation and home use.

What about my oil tank--is it compatible with Bioheat® fuel?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
All known oil tanks and systems are compatible with Bioheat® fuel at blends of 20% or less. For higher biodiesel blends, up to and including 100% biodiesel, compatibility will depend on the materials (metals, plastics, and rubber parts) in your tanks, pumps and fuel lines. For blends higher than 20% biodiesel only steel, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fluorinated polyethylene fluorinated polypropylene and fiberglass vessels are recommended.

What about fuel and oil?

Cape York Trail Bike Tour Information
A.If riding your own bike it must be full of fuel on arrival so we can get an early start on day one. We use unleaded on tour and fill from our support vehicle. Two stroke riders will need to supply own oil, which will be carried on the support vehicle. You should also carry a 500ml spare in your pack just in case.

Do I need to use a fuel additive in my diesel?

Wentland Diesel Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Diesel fuel quality is declining throughout the world, and we expect the trend to continue. In fact, a recent survey suggests that 70% of diesel fuel sold at service stations does not meet the SAE standard for diesel fuel lubricity. The three leading factors are: - crude oil sources, - refining techniques, and - blending techniques.

Should I use an oil additive with Royal Purple?

Royal Purple Motor Oil
No. We are constantly testing and have yet to find an additive that enhances the performance characteristics of Royal Purple. In fact, several of the additives, when added to our products can result in decreased performances rather than performance gains as claimed.

Do oil burner manufacturers recommend the use of Bioheat® fuel with their equipment?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
this time the emergence of Bioheat® fuel is much too new for burner manufacturers to comment on. However, in work accomplished throughout the northeast, organizations like Carlin, Beckett and Power Flame (notable burner manufactures) all are reviewing Bioheat® fuel. Bioheat® fuel appears to have little or no negative impact on a burner’s performance while providing emissions, sulfur, lubricity, global warming and health benefits.

Once blended will the Bioheat® fuel stay blended with my home heating oil?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
Yes. The biodiesel in Bioheat® fuel goes completely into solution with heating oil and once it is blended it does not come out of solution and will not separate. Bioheat® fuel contains biodiesel. Biodiesel provides a cleaning effect and does have a tendency to dissolve or loosen some sediment that can be deposited in tanks and fuel systems from years of conventional diesel fuel or home heating oil use. This cleaning effect is dependent upon the blend concentration of biodiesel.

If MILITEC-1 is not an oil additive, why is it added to oil!!??

FAQ's - Thermaltek Pty Ltd Australian Importers & Distributo...
As explained on this website, MILITEC-1 is added to regular lubricating oils, where they are present, as a means of reaching hot metal surfaces that lubricating oils are in contact with. Most oil additives mix with and modify oils in some way, adding chemicals to them and often causing undesirable consequences, whereas all the Militec-1 is completely used up very quickly if it is added in the correct quantity (see Application Instructions) and does not affect the oil.

Can Biodiesel be used as a fuel lubricity additive?

Biodiesel - Community Fuels - Makes Sense
Testing has confirmed that biodiesel can provide sufficient levels of fuel lubricity, even at blend levels below 1%, in current on-road diesel fuel. Testing is underway to determine specific blend levels that would be required in ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm). Replenishing the loss lubricity that will be apparent in future diesel fuel can be accomplished with conventional lubricity additives either on the market today or in the process of being formulated.

Does it really make a difference which fuel additive I use?

Wentland Diesel Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, not all additives are alike. There are no standards to control what additives are made of. Some fuel additives are formulated for winter use to reduce fuel gelling and do little to protect your fuel system. Others may be mostly solvents to clean deposits from your injectors and do nothing to improve the lubricity of the fuel.

What is an additive?

Fuel Saving Additive
additive is an extraneous substance that is added to a substance in very small quantities to enhance the existing properties of the substance, to impart some desirable properties to the substance, or to supress certain properties.
