ILFC 1032 FUEL INHIBITOR

ILFC 1032 Fuel Inhibitor is a compound composed of a detergent, a dispersant, a biocide, a demulsifier, a corrosion inhibitor, a metal deactivator, and a polymerization retardant. It is an improved version of an inhibitor originally developed at Bell Telephone Laboratories for use in standby power systems.

PRODUCT SUMMARY: A diesel fuel inhibitor which disperses existing macroscopic sludge and retards further repolymerization. It:

-Keeps diesel fuel pumpable and combustible
-Cleans and lubricates injectors
-Eliminates filter plugging and injector scoring
-Retards internal tank corrosion
-Eliminates bacteria growth

THE PROBLEM: Today's catalytically cracked diesel fuel oils are significantly less stable than the 1970's straight run fuel. The cracked fuels begin to deteriorate the minute they are refined. As it ages, fuel in storage repolymerizes forming microscopic particles that score fuel metering injectors. As repolymerization continues, the molecular chains become longer and longer, forming large agglomerates (macroscopic sludge). Eventually the fuel may become umpumpable and even noncombustible.

THE SOLUTION: ILFC 1032 Fuel Inhibitor disperses existing macroscopic sludge and retards further repolymerization. It is designed to be used at a rate of 1 gallon for every 10,000 gallons of stored fuel. Periodic retreatment based on scientific testing, permits perpetual fuel storage.

In addition, ILFC 1032 Fuel Inhibitor contains detergents to keep fuel pumps and injector orifices clean, and a lubricant for injector jets; corrosion inhibitors to prevent internal tank corrosion; metal deactivators to prevent catalytic oxidation; and a biocide to control bacteria growth. Unlike other inhibitors, it contains no lighter alcohols to interfere with the separation of water and fuel oil.

Properly used ILFC 1032 Fuel Inhibitor will assure that pumpable, combustible fuel is always available whenever an emergency calls for the use of standby power.
