What types of fuel can Soltron®
be used in? Soltron® is safe and effective in all grades of gasoline,
including E-10, diesel fuel, biodiesel, kerosene, and heating
oil. Should I use a different mix ratio for different types
of fuel? For routine application in road fuels, use 1 part of
Soltron® to 4,000 parts of fuel. That’s about one oz. per 30
gallons. If you are using our 16 oz. bottle, each line on the
bottle is one ounce. Soltron® is pure fuel, so if you overdose,
you won’t hurt anything. When you first treat an older car,
truck, or an above ground bulk fuel tank, you might want to
use a double dose. Soltron® works much faster on fixing old
fuel, removing combustion chamber carbon deposits, and cleaning
up dirty fuel tanks with a double dose. After the first tank
of fuel, switch to the regular dose and you will get Soltron’s
full benefits. When treating contaminated fuel, always use a
double dose and you will get better results. Always monitor
your fuel filters after treating contaminated fuel. Soltron®
is a powerful dispersant and may loosen and dislodge heavy accumulations
of sludge, including deposits caused by overuse of other fuel
additives. Fuel filters may require servicing when first using
Soltron® in contaminated fuel.
Will using Soltron® void my engine
warranty? No. Soltron® is registered with the EPA under the terms
of their “Substantially Similar” interpretive rule, which means
Soltron® is similar in composition to unleaded gasoline or Ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel. This allows its use in all on-road and
off-road fuels. Soltron® does not contain any harmful chemicals,
alcohol, biocides, surfactants, detergents, metals, or readily
measurable amounts of sulfur, that could damage an engine or
take a fuel outside of its ASTM specifications.
How long does Soltron® take to
act? Soltron’s effects will begin to be noticeable in as little
as 30 minutes. Idle will improve, and stuttering during high-speed
acceleration will diminish. The dirtier the fuel, and the higher
the mileage on the engine, the longer the engine will take to
reach its full potential on Soltron®. The average vehicle will
get measurable improvements in fuel economy on the first tank,
but will reach optimum results after two or three tanks of treated
fuel.
How long is Soltron® good for in
the bottle? Soltron® will stay fresh for two years, providing the
container is sealed tightly, and the bottle is kept in a cool,
dark area. Do not store Soltron® in direct sunlight.
Does Soltron® mix with other fuel
additives? We have never experienced any negative reactions with
other common fuel additives, but there are hundreds on the market,
and Soltron® has not been tested under controlled situations
with these additives, so we suggest that Soltron® be used alone.
Soltron® is multi-functional so no other performance additives
are required.
Can Soltron® be used in extreme
cold? Soltron® is good down to the same temperature as fuel.
If the fuel hasn’t frozen, Soltron® will work just fine.
What about using anti-gels with
Soltron® in cold weather? Soltron® has been used effectively with conventional anti-gels.
If your area needs an anti-gel, feel free to use one in conjunction
with Soltron®. We do not recommend the use of another multi-function
fuel additive with anti-gels, and Soltron®.
What types of engines can I use
Soltron® in? Soltron® is effective in all engines and has been laboratory
tested in two-cycle diesel, four-cycle diesel, four-cycle gas,
and even in jet turbine engines. Soltron® has over eight years
of experience in two-cycle gas/oil racing bikes and outboards
as well. Use Soltron® in lawn mowers, weed cutters, snowmobiles,
motorcycles, emergency generators, and RV’s, as well as your
car or truck.
Can Soltron® be used in a home
heating system? Yes, Soltron® is very effective in home heating oil. It
keeps oil tanks and lines free of sludge, and keeps burner tips
clean and greatly reduces the health risks by eliminating CO
(Carbon Monoxide) emissions.
Can Soltron® be used in a steam
boiler? Yes, Soltron® is very effective in boilers. Although Soltron®
has only been laboratory tested in piston and jet turbine engines,
we do have field reports from customers on boilers. We have
one report from the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority
stating they had a 16% reduction in fuel consumption. However,
there are a lot of variables in boiler design, which makes estimating
improvements very difficult. Boilers may also need to be re-tuned
to take advantage of Soltron®. Boilers require adequate make
up air, and often don’t have the computer controlled fuel systems
that modern automotive engines do. Boilers may have to have
the fuel spray nozzles sized down to prevent over-fueling and
a rich mixture, to take full advantage of Soltron®.
Will Soltron® trip the “Check Engine”
warning sensor? No. In an average, clean, and properly operating engine
and fuel system, Soltron® will not affect any engine sensors,
including the O2 sensor. There is no chemical element or component
in Soltron® that will affect any system monitors. However, if
the engine’s combustion chamber or exhaust system is exceptionally
dirty with carbon, or even from inorganic solids in the fuel
such as dirt and rust, or ethanol/water & varnish mix, (see
below on ethanol) any time a fuel additive that has a cleaning
or dispersant capability is first used, it is still possible
to trigger the Check Engine light that is reading the O2 (oxygen)
sensor’s condition. Minute pieces of debris may become lodged
against the sensor. This is rare, but can occasionally happen.
Once the debris is blown away completely, most vehicles’ warning
lights will reset after a couple of starts. If your Check Engine
light came on shortly after first using Soltron®, and does not
reset after a few miles and starts, and your engine is running
smoothly, check your vehicle owner’s maintenance book or ask
you dealer if the sensor can only be reset manually. If this
is the case, you may be need to reset the warning light. If
your engine is not running smoothly, or if the light is blinking,
then your vehicle may need immediate mechanical service. O2
sensors wear out, and cause improper fuel to air mixtures, causing
poor performance and fuel economy. As many car owners often
choose to first use a fuel additive when they notice a problem
with their car’s performance, it is not uncommon to use Soltron®
just before the O2 sensor fails and trips the Check Engine warning
light. Do not mistake this phenomenon as an effect of the additive.
Will Soltron® harm my catalytic
converter? No. Soltron’s proven effects on reducing emissions, particularly
soot and SO2 (sulfur dioxide) should actually extend the life
of a catalytic converter. Emissions tests run on several 20
year old cars shows a continued improvement in carbon monoxide
emissions on their second tanks of treated gas, which indicates
that Soltron® may actually rejuvenate the catalytic surface
by removing carbon.
I have E-10 (10% ethanol) fuel
in my area.
Will Soltron® work in ethanol- treated fuels? Yes. Soltron® works well in E-10. Ethanol, as a fuel additive,
is growing in use around the country, and has value in reducing
the use of imported oil. However, ethanol has characteristics
that present the car or boat owner with unique housekeeping
issues. Ethanol is polar, (has an electrical charge) which gives
it a strong affinity for water. When a fuel tank is exposed
to heavy moisture build-up from condensation, such as in marine
applications, or sitting in emergency generators or RV’s, or
an above ground fuel tank that is exposed to large temperature
swings, water tends to build up in the tank. Water and ethanol
bind together. The mixture is heavier than gas and will fall
to the bottom of the tank. This is called “phase separation”.
This mixture can attack old resin, varnish, and gum residue
from conventional gasoline, and this forms a sticky goo that
can plug filters and clog fuel injectors. Soltron® has been
reported by many customers, including fuel and oil wholesalers,
to cure this problem. Soltron® has not been laboratory tested
for this action. However, laboratory tests do show that Soltron®
reduces gum, water, asphaltenes, and other fuel contaminants.
Another problem occurs if ethanol is exposed to water. Ethanol
is naturally about 111 octane, so refiners use it to increase
the octane in gasoline. When water contaminates E-10, the fuel
loses its octane, and the engine can ping severely. You may
also experience a loss of power and fuel economy. Laboratory
tests have shown that Soltron® can increase octane in low octane
fuels, and many customers have reported complete restoration
of combustion performance in water-contaminated fuel in a matter
of hours.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON
ETHANOL AND FIBERGLASS It has been reported in several
boating magazines that older fiberglass resins dating back to
the early 1980’s are attacked by ethanol. The residue is dissolved
and passed through the engine’s filters, but is hardened upon
combustion, and forms deposits on valves, injectors, and pistons
that are capable of causing a catastrophic engine failure. While
the use of fiberglass in boat fuel tanks was limited, there
are many thousands of these boats still in existence. If you
have or suspect you have a fiberglass fuel tank from the 1980’s,
please check with your local boat shop.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CONTAINING ETHANOL IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE
TANKS.Soltron® will not remove these deposits.
Soltron® has not been
tested in E-85, and is not recommended for that fuel. It
is perfectly safe in Flex fuel vehicles, and may be used when
running E-10 to keep moisture from contaminating the fuel.
Will Soltron® clean up hardened
varnish in carburetors or old fuel tanks? No. Soltron® does not contain any heavy duty cleaning
chemicals. While the enzyme will break down varnish that is
suspended in fuel or remove light films typical of a car’s fuel
tank, it will not dissolve thick, hardened varnish or resins
built up on bulk tank walls or in the carburetor, that have
polymerized through fuel evaporation and heat. This type of
deposit requires either chemical strippers or steam cleaning.
We do not recommend “in-fuel” chemical strippers, unless they
will be removed prior to refueling. These chemicals can get
into the engine’s oil supply and may attack soft metals such
as copper bearings. Some strippers are caustic, and can attack
aluminum components. If you have hardened varnish in a bulk
fuel tank, we suggest professional steam cleaning. Carburetors
should be disassembled and cleaned with buffered chemical strippers.
Please consult with your local auto supply parts store or a
professional mechanic for recommendation of products.
Will Soltron® stabilize fuel? Yes. Soltron® prevents fuel deterioration in a properly
capped fuel tank by retarding agglomeration of asphaltenes,
preventing moisture related fuel failure, by preventing microbial
growth and its corrosive damage, and by reducing formation of
gums and resin precipitates. Fuel composition varies dramatically,
and is affected by temperature and humidity, so predicting a
fuel’s maximum long-term stability is difficult. Gasoline is
generally protected for six months, and diesel is generally
good for up to two years. Sealed containers can last much longer.
We suggest a double dose of Soltron® for fuel intended for storage. NOTE: Soltron’s enzyme
formula is sensitive to extremely high temperatures. The standard
ASTM test for fuel oxidation stability is a “forced” oxidation
test, meaning the fuel is heated well beyond normal fuel storage
temperatures, to degrade the fuel in a matter of just eight
hours. While this test predicts fuel stability with chemical
additives, it destroys the enzyme in a manner no road or marine
fuel is actually exposed to. Solpower does not utilize this
industry standard test, and judges Soltron’s long-term stability
on actual stored fuel samples.
Does Soltron® contain a pesticide
or biocide? No. Soltron’s enzyme component has been tested in a medical
laboratory and is proven non-toxic. (The petroleum carrier is
still hazardous, as are all fuels) Soltron® cures biological
growth in fuel by eliminating water, which fuel fungi and mold
need to live, and by neutralizing the “static” electrical charge
that the organisms use to cling together to form colonies or
stick to tank surfaces. Soltron® is free of any poisons. It
functions as a bio-surfactant, and acts as a rinsing agent as
opposed to a biocide.
