Untreated Fuel Leads to Poor Engine Performance Today’s fuels, however, lack sufficient treatments of either enough additives or high quality additives. Fuel system deposits result in the following: • Lost fuel economy Treated Fuel Delivers Maximum Performance • Improves fuel mileage an average of 2.3% and up to 5.7% AMSOIL P.i. works as an “emissions passer.” It is ideal for use prior to emissions inspections. Unsurpassed Deposit Clean-up Intake Valve Deposits form on the intake side or back side of the valves. As deposits increase, they restrict airflow and alter airflow patterns in the cylinder. The deposits disrupt the balanced air/fuel ratio by momentarily absorbing and releasing fuel, and they can cause valve sticking by getting in the way of the valve stem and guide. Deposits also restrict proper seating, and the valves may be burned. Intake valve deposits cause lost engine power, increased emissions, poor engine efficiency and potential valve failure. Combustion Chamber Deposits form on the top of the pistons and on the cylinder heads. They increase compression and absorb heat during combustion to later release it during the intake cycle. In some engines with tight squish domes, combustion chamber deposits cause the piston to actually hit the cylinder head. This is referred to as combustion chamber deposit interference or “carbon rap.” Combustion chamber deposits also flake off as they get large, and these flakes can get trapped between the valves and valve seat, resulting in compression loss, difficult starting and rough idle. Higher compression and stored heat cause increased intake fresh charge temperatures and the increased likelihood of pre-ignition “knock” or “pinging” when the fuel spontaneously combusts prior to spark ignition. This increases emissions and may cause engine damage. Many of today’s cars have “knock” sensors that adjust spark timing to prevent knock. Although audible knock is controlled, power is lost from retarded timing. Higher octane fuels of 4-5 octane numbers can be used to help prevent knock, an effect called “octane requirement increase.” As a vehicle ages, more expensive higher octane fuel is needed to keep it operating at peak performance. By cleaning combustion chamber deposits, knock is controlled, power is restored, fuel economy increases and higher octane fuels are less necessary for peak performance.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Cetane Boost Additive improves diesel fuel quality that benefits all diesel engines, especially high performance designs. Supported by extensive testing and years of field trial use, AMSOIL Cetane Boost Additive has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to improve diesel engine performance. High performance diesel engines operate best with cetane values of 50 or higher.
Recommendations
Recommended for use with all types of heavy- and light-duty, on- or off-road and marine diesel engines. Best performance is achieved when used with every new tank of fuel. Excellent for use with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (ULSD). Compatible with biodiesel and all types of exhaust emission systems such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs). (Although high concentrations of biodiesel decrease the benefits of AMSOIL Cetane Boost).
For best results with up to a seven point cetane increase, add one oz. of AMSOIL Cetane Boost per five gallons of diesel fuel (one bottle to 80 gallons). For up to a three point cetane increase, add one oz. per 10 gallons of diesel fuel (one bottle to 160 gallons). Excellent for use with AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate and AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver.
