Winterized Diesel Treat 2000

Winterized Diesel Treat 2000 Premium Diesel provides the same benefits of our summer additive with the added protection of anti-gel and jet fuel de-icer. When added to the diesel fuel before the diesel fuel has reached its cloud point, it prevents the formation of wax crystals. The anti-gel additive system in Winterized Diesel Treat modifies the individual wax crystals by encapsulating and dispersing them as they are formed. This drastically reduces the size of the wax crystals and prevents the growth of larger wax crystals and their adhesion to each other. This in turn allows the wax crystals to flow through the fuel filters and lines into the combustion chamber with the diesel fuel. With the addition of Diesel Treat Winter to the diesel fuel before it has reached its cloud point, the gelling point of the diesel fuel will be lowered an average of 15°F to 25°F below the original gelling point of the untreated diesel fuel.

Increased Lubricity Protection with SynShield™

Today’s diesel powered vehicles feature low emission engines that are more susceptible than ever to diesel fuel related wear. Diesel engine designs are employing the use of higher fuel injection pressures, hotter fuel return temperatures, higher operating temperatures and complex engine geometry to control emissions. All of these factors result in increased fuel system wear and can shorten engine life.

With the mandate by the United States EPA to reduce the sulfur content of diesel fuels to control emissions, this has resulted the elimination of certain naturally occurring polar compounds that aid in protection of the fuel system from wear by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces fuel injection system. The increased use of the hydro-treating and hydro-cracking refining processes to reduce the sulfur content of the diesel fuel in order to meet the mandated sulfur content of 0.5% and the 2006 ultra low sulfur diesel fuel specification of 0.05% causes these naturally occurring polar compounds to become either chemically altered or completely removed, thus resulting in increased engine and fuel system wear.

To protect today’s diesel engines from fuel system related wear, Schaeffer Oil has further blended into the Winterized Diesel Treat 2000 a proprietary lubricity additive called SynShield. SynShield is one of the few lubricity additives that not only surpasses industry standards for diesel fuel lubricity but also exceeds the EPA’s new standard by being the only lubricity additive that does not contain sulfur or sulfur containing compounds. Synshield prevents fuel system wear and injector scoring by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces of the fuel system and injectors that provide boundary lubrication between metallic parts in critical fuel system components. This protective boundary lubrication film not only reduces friction and wear between the fuel system surfaces that are in relative motion but also increases fuel system component life, thus leading to less downtime and longer equipment life.
