Diesel Additive Lubricants – Mono Fatty Acid vs Esters vs Orisyn® Ester
by FTE Published on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024
It may surprise you to learn that many diesel additives, including well-known brands, are still using mono fatty acid lubricants in their diesel additives. Why is this an issue? Not only is fatty acid very old and cheap technology, but it offers zero lubrication benefit to UK or EU EN590 specification diesel, where the minimum […]

Difference between Oilsyn Diesel Power/Race DNA, Oilsyn Hybrogen and Archoil AR6900-D
by Andy Published on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022
Fuel additive science is not definite. There are too many influencing factors and different requirements to produce the “ultimate additive” that universally works for all. What may work well on one engine does not guarantee success on another. This presents the need for different technologies to help match successful functions to the engine, fuel, and […]

Using Fuel Additives at Higher Dosages - Overdosing
by Andy Published on Friday, March 13th, 2015
I am regularly asked whether fuel additives can be added at a higher dose or added to less fuel to make a more potent concentrate and whether this is more beneficial. The answer in most cases is no. This is because detergents, cetane improvers, dispersants, lubricants, etc., are designed to work with a specific amount […]

Fuel & Carbon Cleaners - What Happens to the Carbon?
by Andy Published on Tuesday, March 10th, 2015
Frequently we are asked about fuel-based carbon cleaners. Specifically, what happens to carbon deposits that are removed through the use of fuel cleaners, and can these cleaners damage an engine? Let’s begin by discussing the first part of that question. Within the fuel system, you’ll seldom find carbon itself. You will likely discover sludge, gum, […]

MPG - Negative vs Positive Gain ™
by Andy Published on Thursday, February 12th, 2015
When examining the field of products, services, and techniques that promise to increase MPG, you find a confusing minefield, at best. There are chronic skeptics on one side, loyal devotees on the other, and indifferent observers in between. Unfortunately, this has come from a long history of ignorance and misleading advertising. The dilemma for most […]

Fuel Catalysts & Archoil's AR6900-D MAX and AR6900-P MAX
by Andy Published on Friday, January 24th, 2014
We regularly receive questions regarding fuel catalyst technologies and how they work. In particular, we receive many questions about Archoil AR6900-D and AR6900-P MAX. The existing definition of “burn rate modifier” and the phrase “lowers burn rate by up to 400 degrees” has caused confusion. In simple terms, a catalyst facilitates a better fuel burn. […]

Do Fuel and Oil Additives Really Work?
by Andy Published on Thursday, May 30th, 2013
Firstly, we need to understand what is meant by “work” as there are conflicting ideas and interpretations. Some would consider “work” to improve performance or increase mpg, whereas others would consider “work” to clean the fuel system, restore fuel injector efficiency or reduce friction. Others would consider a product to have “worked” if it resolved […]

Should Fuel Additives be Added to an Empty Tank?
by Andy Published on Monday, May 20th, 2013
I am often asked how and when fuel additives should be added. With an empty or full tank of fuel? Should I wait until it’s down to a quarter of a tank? Etc. The reality is that it doesn’t matter how much fuel is currently in the tank. The key is to ensure that regardless […]
