Lubricity Protection:

Gen 49D contains a powerful boundary lubricant package which reduces friction and metal wear in the top end of the cylinder, injectors and fuel pump. Poor fuel lubricity is commonly seen in new generation low sulphur fuels. Gen 49D is approved for and surpasses the new standards for diesel fuel and exhibits wear and friction reduction significantly below typical levels. Poor fuel lubricity results in increased maintenance costs, downtime and poor fuel economy. In the HFRR test, we see typical fuels measure in excess of 500 microns of wear, the 2005 standard will be 460 micron of wear. Fuel treated with Gen 49D today shows dramatic wear reduction in the range of 350 microns.

Improves Cetane of Fuel:

Higher cetane means better ignition quality. Gen 49D will increase the cetane number of your diesel fuel by 2 to 3 numbers, which is important for efficient engine operation and emission control.

Gen-49D with Cetane is designed to:

  • Improve cold start performance
  • Reduce fuel consumption
  • Reduce engine noise
  • Improve engine durability
  • Decrease particulates, nitrous oxides (NOx), Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbon Emissions
  • Reduce white and black smoke

Gen-49D with Anti-Gel Protection:

Gen 49D fights water and gelling the leading problem with winter fuel. Cold flow is improved up to 15°C (27°F). This gives your fuel the very best chance of flowing in extreme cold conditions. Gen 49D contains a powerful deicer that lowers the freeze point of water and prevents ice crystals from forming that may plug filters and cause misfiring. Additionally the antigel characteristic keeps crystal molecules from collecting or clumping to ensure problem free winter operation.

Fuel Stabilizer:

Gen 49D adds an excellent stabilizing package to your diesel fuel. High temperature stress on fuels results in degradation products such as particulate solids which may lead to injector damage and filter plugging. Gen49D also fights the effects of oxygen and water in stored fuel, neutralizing the effect of water.

Corrosion Inhibitor:

Diesel fuel is corrosive by nature and corrosion products such as iron oxide cause filter plugging and injector damage. Gen 49D fights corrosion and rust in the fuel tank and through the entire fuel system.
