Diesel 0.005%
DESCRIPTION
Low Sulphur Diesel (0.005) is a high quality automotive diesel engine fuel, containing less than
0.005% sulphur, by mass (50ppm) These low sulphur levels enable the product to be compatible
with emission control devices such as catalytic converters and diesel particulate traps. Diesel 50ppm
contains advanced additive technology that has the potential to maintain engines at their peak
design conditions. It also satisfies the demand for improved fuel economy, extended drain intervals
and fuel systems protection. The continuous use improves fuel system and injector cleanliness,
which helps to increase equipment life while simultaneously reducing exhaust emissions. A special
demulsifier agent provides protection against emulsion formation by actively assisting during water/
fuel separation. Diesel 50ppm contains anti-foam components, which reduce the tendency of
foaming normally associated with standard diesel, and provides for spill free, cleaner, faster and
more efficient refuelling, keeping vehicle equipment working for longer periods.
APPLICATION
Diesel 50ppm can be used in all types of medium and high-speed diesel engines such as found in
mobile, portable and stationary equipment. It is also recommended for underground mining diesel
applications where air quality control is critical. It is formulated with advanced lubricity additive
technology, ensuring that the fuel system requirements of diesel engines are satisfied.
BENEFITS
– High Cetane Number providing smoother combustion
– Exceptionally Cleaner combustion
– Excellent fuel system lubrication
– Reduced emissions
– Easy starting
– Reduced white exhaust at start-up
