In diesel engines, the fuel injector nozzle could be as narrow as the width of two human hairs. Yet these fuel injectors are usually located inside the combustion chamber – which means they’re exposed to extreme heat, and more vulnerable to deposit formation than in a petrol engine. Deposits hinder the fuel and air mixing process, causing inefficient combustion.
When you choose Caltex with Techron® D, you’re choosing optimal protection from corrosion and foaming for all diesel engines – old and new. All you have left to do is enjoy optimum fuel economy, reliable performance, and a smoother drive.
Test CEC F-23-01 is a laboratory protocol designed to measure the effectiveness of a fuel at preventing deposits from forming in fuel injectors. 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 clean fuel injectors at the start of the test.After 10 hours of cyclical operation, the injectors are removed from the engine and flow tested to measure how effective the fuel has been at preventing injector fouling.Tests conducted at an ISO9001 accredited laboratory in 2008 showed that the injectors running on diesel with Techron® D were 47% cleaner than those running on diesel without Techron® D. Deposits can upset the injector spray pattern and hinder the fuel-air mixing process. This can result in decreased fuel economy and increased emissions.
Cleaner injectors = BETTER FUEL ECONOMY
