Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner
Note: Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, part number 343-6210, is the only fuel system cleaner available to the end user that is tested and approved by Caterpillar for use in Cat diesel engines.Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is a proven high-performance detergent product specifically designed for cleaning deposits that form in the fuel system. Deposits in the fuel system reduce system performance and can increase fuel consumption. Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner addresses the deposits formed due to the use of degraded diesel fuel, poor quality diesel fuel, and diesel fuel containing high quantities of high molecular weight compounds. Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner addresses deposits formed due to the use of biodiesel, biodiesel blends, and biodiesel that does not meet the appropriate quality specifications. Continued use of Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is proven to inhibit the growth of new deposits.Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner can be added directly to diesel fuel, biodiesel, or biodiesel blends. Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is a United States Environmental Protection Agency registered fuel additive that can be used with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. In addition this cleaner is appropriate for use with other ultra low, low, and higher sulfur diesel fuels around the world.Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner is a proven high-performance cleaner that is designed to perform the following:
Clean performance-robbing fuel system deposits
Restore fuel economy losses resulting from injector deposits
Restore power losses resulting from injector deposits
Eliminate visible black exhaust smoke resulting from injector deposits
Prevent the formation of new fuel-related depositsFor engines experiencing problems such as power loss, increased fuel consumption, or black smoke due to the presence of fuel-related deposits in fuel injectors, a high-strength cleaning cycle is recommended. Add one 0.946L (32 oz.) bottle of Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner per 250 L (65 gal) of fuel, which corresponds to a treat rate of 0.4% by volume. Prior to refueling, pour Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner directly into the fuel tank, then refill with fuel. The refilling process should give satisfactory mixing of the cleaner. The cleaner will begin to be effective immediately. Testing has shown most deposits are cleaned and related issues are resolved after 30 hours of operating the engine on fuel with the cleaner. For maximum results, continue to use at this treat rate for up to 80 hours.To prevent the return of fuel-related deposits, Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, add the cleaner to the fuel as previously described, but at a 0.2% treat rate. In this case, one 0.946L (32 oz.) bottle will treat 500 L (130 gallons) of fuel. Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner can be used on an on-going basis with no adverse impact on engine or fuel system durability.
Use of Cat Diesel Fuel System Cleaner or Cat Diesel Fuel System Conditioner does not lessen the responsibility of the engine owner and/or responsibility of the fuel supplier to follow all industry standard maintenance practices for fuel storage and for fuel handling.
