Frequently asked questions

The main aim of additives is to improve engine operation by increasing the functional properties of the fuel. The test results show that the usage of additives, depending on their type, leads to less wear of parts, improves the ecological characteristics of the car and extends the life of the engine. To achieve the greatest possible effect it is necessary to observe recommendations regarding dosage, compatibility, storage and additional technology of additives.

For example, the working concentrations of markers and colorants are thousandths of a percent. The quantity of anticorrosive additives depends on the concentration of sulfur and metals in the fuel, and varies in the range of 0.0005 to 0.005 percent. The optimum dosage of fuel depressants is determined by the composition of the fuel, so it is better to decide on the dosage on a case-to-case basis.
The average dosage is indicated in the technical instructions for additives. Exact dosage for a particular fuel is determined by the results of laboratory tests.

Nowadays, there are several ways to mix additives into fuel. In order to select the optimum method, we should consider the technical capabilities of equipment and volume of marketable product. If the volume of production is increasing, the technology of mixing fuels and additives becomes more complicated.
The main requirement for mixing additives is to ensure the complete mixing of additive components throughout the volume of raw materials, as well as adherence to recommended temperatures while mixing.

Additives are not usually widely used for this purpose, since the cloud point of the diesel fuel does not affect the driving characteristics. The most important characteristics are the pour point and filtration temperature limit, and depressant additives are used in order to reduce their values.
Additives for lowering the cloud point of the fuel are produced in limited quantities. Test results show that their usage reduces the cloud point temperature by 5-7 ° C, depending on the fuel composition.

When the volume of gasoline is small, mixing can be accomplished through direct input that is filling followed by circulation pumping.
Mixing of gasoline and antiknock additives is carried out with the help of automatic dosing systems, providing a continuous supply of the required amount of the additive to the raw materials. This ensures a substantially complete reaction of the additive components throughout the whole volume of raw material. The best type of dispensers are instruments equipped with specialized pumps. This type of dispenser is connected directly to a container with an additive, and that provides for the optimum technological process.
Regardless of the chosen method, it is required to mix the additive well before adding.
