Ethanol in gasoline tends to absorb moisture. Professional-strength GAS-SHOK Plus disperses residual water that then gets burned off as steam. It’s rated for engines running E-10 to E-85 blends.

Petroleum-based GAS-SHOK Plus doesn’t contain alcohol or acids, so it won’t damage hoses, gaskets or other components. Used regularly, it keeps the fuel system clean by preventing gum and varnish from accumulating on rings, valves and related parts. Plus, the advanced formula adds lubrication to extend the life of the fuel pump and injectors. These attributes translate into better mileage and an engine that runs as smooth as silk. A video is at bit.ly/GAS-SHOK.

GAS-SHOK Plus is simply added to the fuel tank, one ounce per 10 gallons of gasoline. Ideal for winterizing, it has no impact on engine warranties. An 8 oz. container of GAS-SHOK Plus treats 80 gal. and costs $18.85; 32 oz. remedies 320 gal. and runs $47.20; and one gal. doses 1,280 gal of gasoline and is $139.60.

Desl-Shok eliminates condensation and dissolves sludge in the fuel tank—reported to be the root cause of over 70% of engine failures. The broad-spectrum formula cleans injectors, carburetors and fuel lines to promote a cleaner burn that, in turn, reduces carbon build-up in the motor and exhaust. It also decreases smoke and engine noise.

Regular use of Desl-Shok stabilizes and boosts cetane levels and acts as a lubricant throughout the fuel system. This is especially important in areas where temperatures drop.

The unique formula contains no acids or alcohol, so it won’t harm gaskets, hoses, seals and other components. Plus, using it will not affect warranties of two- and four-stroke diesel engines.

USA Fuel Service Desl-Shok comes in three convenient sizes. The 8 oz. container treats 80 gal. of diesel fuel and costs $18.85; 32 oz. doses 320 gal. and runs $47.20; and 1 gal. treats 1,280 gal. of fuel and is $139.60.

Since 2007, USA Fuel Service has been an innovator in the gasoline and diesel fuel polishing field. The state-of-the-art mobile system dissolves sludge while it removes water and deposits in tanks and lines. This improves octane and cetane levels for noticeably improved engine performance—and satisfied customers.

USA Fuel Service manufactures its polishing systems in the USA. Because they’ll fit in a trailer or truck bed, a distributorship has virtually unlimited growth potential. Supporting its representatives in the field, USA Fuel Service offers a full range of fuel testing by certified independent laboratories.

Another benefit of becoming a USA Fuel Service distributor is discounted pricing on the company’s line of additives. Gas-Shok, Desl-Shok and Water-Rid can be sold as add-ons during service or as quantity stock to local chandleries and retailers.

Like any service business in a market with little competition, a USA Fuel Service distributorship can become profitable quickly. This is especially true now with recent participation surges in the boat and RV sectors. Mobile services that come directly to the customer have likewise seen substantial growth in recent years across many market segments.

While the individual vessel or vehicle owner is often the customer, some USA Fuel Service operations have served marinas for 13 years. Plus, there are growing opportunities in generator, agricultural, transportation and industrial markets for ongoing service programs. This broad customer base makes a turn-key USA Fuel Service distributorship easy to get up and running.

“As a family-owned company, we understand the challenges of launching a business,” said Jim Jolivette, USA Fuel Service owner. “We establish new relationships with all the elements for success, from equipment and training to ongoing field support, and even financing in some cases.

“Our proven system is reflected in distributor and dealer success stories throughout the country, some spanning 13 years now. Plus, our robust marketing and PR programs provide industry and consumer awareness.” Those interested in USA Fuel Service distributor or dealer opportunities should contact Jim Jolivette at 941-456-9629 or visit www.usafuelservice.com.

Why polish fuel?

Over any given period of time fuels in storage can develop pools of sludge, sediment and water caused by microbial contamination. This contamination can quite easily find its way into fuel at one of the many exchange points in its journey from source to end user. Left untreated, the levels of contamination worsen to the point where damage to machinery, pumps and engines is likely. When fuel is pumped into a tank condensation, atmospheric absorption, and a faulty tank are usually the main causes of fuel contamination. Microbes find their way into fuel and cause problems as they multiply and grow.

Symptoms of ‘fuel bugs’ or ‘diesel bugs’

The symptoms of diesel bugs are easy to find. Important things to check over and look out for are:

• Blocked Filters
• Fuel System Failure
• Worn Fuel Injectors
• Corroded Tanks
• Engine Failure

Microbial contamination is heavily accelerated when higher biodiesel content content occurs along with lower sulphur content.

The process

In essence “polishing” is an advanced level filtration of the fuel, monitored and controlled via a central processing unit. Its application ensures the need for fuel additives is either massively reduced or totally removed. A typical process involves a single pass of the fuel through different apparatus, removing increasingly finer contaminant in each stage. The application of different filter technologies is vital; a single process is not sufficient to extract the different forms of water and matter found in fuel.

During the fuel polishing process, multiple stages are required to effectively remove the solid particulates, wet foreign matter and water from the fuel. This multi-stage process ensures the high efficiency of the process, however ensuring dense matter removal first is key, as is the removal of large matter on the suction side of the internal pumping stage. High pressurisation of fuel contamination is notoriously dangerous and as such the majority of the polishing process should be carried out on the suction side. The pressure side process is often referred to as the final or finishing stage, where 2 micron particulate^[4] is removed and the fuel’s final water content is extracted to within the efficiency of the filter stages.

The amount of time required to complete the fuel polishing process depends on several factors. One of the most important is the specific fuel polishing machine used. Fuel cleaning machines can polish at rates from 8 litres per minute to upwards of 400 litres per minute, however the factors which govern the process are about more than just flow rate. In fact a high flow rate can be detrimental to the overall effect due to increased pressures in the filter stages and adverse disturbance in the fuel tank. Another factor can be the quality of the fuel. If the fuel is highly contaminated it will typically take longer to clean than a batch of cleaner fuel of the same volume. The third factor to take into account is the volume of fuel to be processed. It may seem obvious but the larger the volume of fuel that requires polishing, the longer it will take to complete the cleaning process.
