Oil & Manufacturing – Conspiracy? No, it’s Basic Economics

by Andy Published on Thursday, March 13th, 2014

I feel it’s about time I aired an ongoing concern that has been boiling away inside me for a very long time. Those who have benefited from my consultations already might have heard it. It is about a collection of paraphrased quotes that make my eyes roll every time I read or hear them. As […]

Premium Diesel Versus Standard Diesel Fuel

by Andy Published on Thursday, February 6th, 2014

In the course of our work, we are frequently asked whether premium diesel fuel is superior to standard diesel fuel. And our short answer is always a resounding, “Yes.” But when it comes to the other big question regarding premium diesel fuel – such as whether it is worth its higher price – more explanation […]

Fuel Catalysts & Archoil's AR6200 / AR6900-D 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 AR6200 and AR6900-D 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 burn of […]

Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Cleaning & Cleaners

by Andy Published on Friday, January 10th, 2014

A Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) is used to measure the amount of air entering an engine. It is important to measure air so that the ECU can calculate the correct amount of fuel to inject into the combustion chamber to achieve the optimum air/fuel ratio. Because of the MAF’s important role, it should be attended […]

DPF Removal to Become an MOT Failure

by Andy Published on Friday, December 13th, 2013

The MOT test for diesel vehicles is changing from February 2014. All diesel cars originally fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) must have the DPF in place and operational during the MOT test. It if is missing then the vehicle will fail the test. The current test only examines emissions but now technicians will […]

Turbo Cleaning and Turbo Cleaners

by Andy Published on Wednesday, August 21st, 2013

Not a week passes where we are not asked by a consumer or repair garage to recommend a solution for clogged turbo chargers, particularly variable vane equipped units on diesel engines. While turbo chargers offer enhanced performance for both petrol and diesel vehicles, they’re not without their problems. One of those is maintenance and cleaning […]

Importance of a Clean EGR

by Andy Published on Wednesday, August 21st, 2013

The subject of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems comes up often so I thought it was about time we explained further on how a dirty EGR can effect performance, MPG and exhaust emissions. With our professional range of cleaners we are confident that we can resolve a large percentage of the minor poor running issues […]

EGR Cleaning and EGR Cleaners

by Andy Published on Monday, July 29th, 2013

An EGR valve, or exhaust gas recirculation system is a primary component of an engine’s emissions system on both petrol and diesel powered vehicles. Its purpose is to reduce NOx emissions by recycling a proportion of the combustion gases that normally exit through the exhaust. A valve is used to control the flow of gases, […]

MPG Drop With Winter Fuel Change

by Andy Published on Thursday, May 30th, 2013

A few years back our customers were seeking advice on poor fuel economy during winter months, particularly with diesel powered vehicles. This phenomenon is easily explainable. The reason is that many fuel companies around the colder parts of the world, the UK being one of them, switch fuels during winter. This usually occurs in the […]

Do Fuel and Oil Additives Really Work?

by Andy Published on Thursday, May 30th, 2013

Firstly, we really need to understand what is meant by “work” as there are conflicting ideas and interpretations. Some would consider “work” as improve performance or increase mpg, whereas others would consider “work” as clean the fuel system, restore fuel injector efficiency or reduce friction. Others would consider a product to have “worked” if it […]
