FEATURES & BENEFITS
Refuel America utilizes technology that is multi-purpose,
multi-functional allowing it to be used in a wide range of
fuels including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel and ethanol. Below
are the benefits from this new technology, which is achieved
using substantially and predominately components from petroleum
sources.
Lubricity
The reduction of sulfur and aromatics in modern day hydrocarbon
fuels has led to lubricity problems in the fuel delivery and
combustion system. Refuel America has addressed this concern
and produced, as part of the technology, lubricity numbers
in excess of 100% above the recommended standards. This will
reduce wear on the fuel system and will lower maintenance
costs on the engine, injectors and pump. In addition, this
enhanced fuel lubricity will allow the engine to run with
improved efficiency.
Detergency
Modern day gasoline standards mean that all fuels to be combusted
in a spark ignition engine should contain a recommended amount
of detergent. Refuel America has detergent components in their
technology that supports these standards and together with
lubricity enhancement, enables more complete combustion. This
is especially effective with diesel fuels and substantially
reduces black smoke and particulate matter without detriment
to power and torque.
 Greenhouse
Gas Emissions
100% complete combustion leaves residues of carbon dioxide
(CO2) and water (H20). Carbon dioxide is known to be a major
factor of global warming. Incomplete combustion produces nitrogen
oxides (NOX) that are a precursor to ozone problems, hydrocarbons
as a result of the incomplete combustion of fuel and carbon
monoxide, the silent carcinogenic killer. The increased fuel
efficiency and economy resulting from the use of Refuel America
technology and because less fuel has to be burnt for the same
power output, less CO2 and NOX are released into the atmosphere.
Co-solvency
As water is inherent in all fuel combustion processes, it
is fundamental that this water is shed from the system or
disengaged as fuel injectors will split and become redundant
if water passes through the injector system alone as very
high-pressure, super critical steam. An exciting benefit of
Refuel America's technology is the ability to suspend water
in fuel as a complete homogeneous solution, eliminating the
prospects of short-lived injectors.
Storage & Handling Contamination
Use of Refuel America technology in fuel storage tanks and
fuel systems helps to prevent microbial contamination. If
water is present in the fuel, normally phase separation occurs,
aerobic and anaerobic bacterial and fungal growths may also
occur in the aqueous phase. This can result in blocked filters
when the fuel is pumped through the fuel system. Refuel America's
co-solving technology prevents phase separation from occurring
and eliminates the environment for microbial growth. This
will reduce the need for biocides that are expensive and difficult
to handle.
Corrosion inhibitors
Refuel America's technology has been designed, as part of
its multifunctional purpose, to behave as a natural corrosion
inhibitor. Corrosion in fuel storage systems and engines has
been caused by free water in the process. A modern day problem
is the utilization of alcohol in hydrocarbons. During the
fuel supply cycle the unused returning fuel creates per acids
in the fuel tank. These acids react and cause iron formate
as opposed to iron oxide. Iron formate is substantially more
corrosive that iron oxide. The Refuel America technology eliminates
this corrosion by keeping per acids to a minimum in the fuel
system.
Reduced maintenance
Refuel America's multifunctional, multipurpose technology
creates more complete combustion and supplies a high performance
fuel resulting in reduced maintenance and delivers a better
driving experience.
