Here’s how Caltex Diesel with Techron^® D can enhance the performance of your diesel engine in four proven ways.

Test #2 : Power Test

Diesel fuel injectors have always been prone to injector choking. However, the potential for negative impact on engine performance, emissions and fuel consumption is increasing as injector designs become progressively more sophisticated. The latest Euro 5 type injectors fitted to the Peugeot DW10 2.0 litre common-rail engine have 6 injector holes that are 110 microns in size, about the width of two human hairs.

Test CEC F-98-08 is a laboratory protocol designed to test how well an additive can keep fuel injectors free of performance robbing deposits. The level of injector deposit build-up is measured indirectly through engine power loss. The CEC F-98-08 test sequence is very rigorous and includes 32 hours of high load engine operation.

To demonstrate the cleaning power of Techron D, a quantity of diesel fuel is split into two samples. One sample is dosed with the required quantity of Techron D. Both samples are tested using new fuel injectors at the start of the test. During the course of the test, injector deposits build-up and the power generated by the engine is reduced.

Tests conducted at an ISO9001 accredited laboratory in 2008 showed that Techron D was able to protect against injector deposits which rob engines of power. At the end of the CEC F-98-08 test sequence, diesel with Techron D produced 6% more power than diesel containing no Techron D.

Cleaner Injectors = MORE POWER
