2. Who needs it?
Over the past several years, the minimum level of detergent additive required by the EPA has declined by an estimated 50%
High gasoline prices are driving consumers to lower quality (less additized) gasolines
Lower quality gasolines represent an estimated 50% of gasoline currently sold on the market
All engines can develop combustion chamber deposits over time

3. Why do your customers NEED it?
Buildup of deposits in an engine can be like a slow growing cancer
If left unattended, it can gradually rob an engine of its:
Power
Fuel efficiency
Drivability

4. How deposit build-up affects engine performance
Fuel Injector deposits can impact fuel flow, upsetting the air/flow mixture
Intake Valve deposits can absorb fuel during engine warm-up
Fuel Injector deposits can impact fuel flow, upsetting the air/flow mixture. You experience hesitation or stumble during acceleration, even loss of power, increased emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Intake Valve deposits can absorb fuel during engine warm-up, leaning out the fuel/air mixture, and leading to poor drivability, even loss of power and increased emissions.

5. How deposit build-up affects engine performance
Combustion Chamber deposits can lead to auto-ignition of the air/fuel mixture which causes knocking, pinging, run-on, poor acceleration, and increased emissions of nitrogen oxides

7. How contamination hurts fuel gauge performance
Fuel Sending Unit (FSU)
Fuel Tank
Fuel Sending Unit - located in the vehicle’s fuel tank controls the gas gauge
Certain residual sulfur species found at very low levels in many of today’s highly refined gasolines can form corrosive deposits and have induced failures in certain automobile silver-based fuel sending unit components

Sulfurs
Induce a corrosive film on critical electrical components of the FSU
Disrupt electrical continuity
Lead to either erratic operation or complete failure of the FSU
