What is +Cetane Boost® and what does it do for my engine?
+Cetane Boost® is a powerful energy compound that improves the ignition quality of fuel. There is a direct relationship between a diesel fuel’s cetane number and its ignition point. Delayed ignition is a primary cause of increased emissions and inferior engine performance. The lower the cetane number, the longer the ignition delay. Fuels with high cetane numbers burn more quickly and more completely, resulting in smoother running engines with less power lag, reduced emissions and easier engine starting.
+Cetane Boost® is a component of our Diesel Kleen products that serves to boost the cetane number of untreated fuel by up to 6 numbers.
What is Slickdiesel® and what does it do for my engine?
Slickdiesel® is a proprietary Power Service diesel fuel lubricity additive that is added to many of our products to increase the lubrication properties of diesel fuel. This increase in lubricity will increase the life of fuel pumps and injectors. The fuel pump manufacturers (Bosch, Delphi, Denso, Siemens and Stanadyne) consider fuel lubricity to be the most crucial property of diesel fuel as it relates to reduction of pump and injector wear. The Engine Manufacturer Association (EMA) has stated that, “Shortened life of engine components such as fuel injection pumps and unit injectors usually can be ascribed to a lack of fuel lubricity and hence is a concern to engine manufacturers.” Slickdiesel meets the new ASTM HFRR 520 Lubricity Specifications for the United States and the more stringent European Specification of 460 in most fuels.
Is it safe to use Power Service diesel fuel additives in diesel particulate filters, diesel oxidation catalysts and/or EGR engines?
Yes, use of Power Service diesel additives is safe for use in all diesel engines.
Will use of Power Service diesel additives void my manufacturer’s warranty?
No, when used as directed on the container label, use of Power Service diesel additives will not void any engine manufacturer’s warranty. Power Service is the largest manufacturer of diesel fuel additives in the USA and our products are used most often by diesel engine owners. Additionally, our products are sold through many Original Engine Manufacturer (OEM) dealers and service centers.
Can I use more than a single dose of Diesel Kleen® +Cetane Boost® per tank of fuel?
It is safe to exceed a single dose of additive. Often a double dose will give an increase in power, especially when the cetane rating of the fuel in your area is low. Double dosing will not harm your engine.
Can I use your products in gasoline?
Our diesel fuel additives are specially formulated to be used in diesel fuel. We do not recommend the use of our diesel fuel additives in gasoline.
What is the shelf life of Power Service diesel additives?
Our products will last indefinitely in a sealed container.
Do Power Service diesel additives contain alcohol?
The only product manufactured by Power Service that contains the type of non-harmful alcohols recommended by engine manufacturers for removal of water is Power Service Diesel 911. Diesel 911, as its name implies, is used to solve the fuel emergencies diesel engine operators most commonly encounter. In cold climates, Diesel 911 reliquefies gelled fuel and de-ices frozen fuel-filters in a matter of minutes, eliminating the need for a tow truck. Diesel 911 also removes water from the fuel system to prevent icing problems and extend the life of fuel-filters, fuel injection pumps and fuel injectors.
No other Power Service product contains alcohols of any kind, including Diesel Kleen® +Cetane Boost®.
Can I buy your products online?
No, Power Service products are not available for online purchase. Due to the chemical nature of our products, we are unable to ship small quantities in a cost efficient manner.
