How It Works
How ProFuelX-2©® Fuel Additive Works
ProFuelX-2©'s formula has two unique compounds that work together at the atomic level to produce unique benefits. ProFuelX-2©® combines a combustion modifier with a special hydrocarbon-based compound that work together on the metallic parts of the combustion chamber and fuel system. This combination reduces engine wear and removes combustion deposits and fuel system corrosion - while increasing power.
ProFuelX-2©'s chemistry attracts to metallic parts of the combustion chamber penetrating and removing combustion deposits with each firing of the engine. ProFuelX-2©® creates a thin film that increases lubrication between friction surfaces of pistons, rings, valves and fuel pump, while reducing the formation of new deposits on the fuel injectors and combustion parts. It also provides a corrosion inhibitor for the entire fuel system.
ProFuelX-2©® combustion modifier accelerates the fuel burn so that more of the engine's power is delivered instantly at the top of the piston stroke. It results in a more complete burning of fuel before the exhaust valves open-which results in reduced carbon emissions, cooler exhaust temperatures and reduced valve wear.
ProFuelX-2©® is created from components which contain only Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Although ProFuelX-2©® more than pays for itself with fuel savings alone, even greater savings may come in the form of reduced maintenance and less engine wear. ProFuelX-2©® can help vehicles pass smog tests, particularly those with higher mileage.
- Removes and reduces combustion deposits that form inside the combustion chamber.

FAQs
ProFuelX-2©® Frequently Asked Questions
What is ProFuelX-2©®? ProFuelX-2©® is a multifunctional fuel additive that improves the combustion process in gasoline and diesel engines. In gasoline engines, it reduces the combustion chamber deposits (CCD) thereby reducing the octane number required (ONR) by the engine. In diesel engines, it reduces the ignition delay and improves the Cetane number of diesel fuel. In both gasoline and diesel engines, the improved combustion ProFuelX-2©® is manufactured by reacting a cut of crude oil with oxygen in the presence of a proprietary catalyst. The final product contains various petroleum based hydrocarbon components. ProFuelX-2©® contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Will ProFuelX-2©® damage the engine or limit vehicle warranty? No. On the contrary, by improving the combustion process and minimizing the combustion chamber deposits, ProFuelX-2©® will keep engines cleaner, reduce the maintenance requirements, and extend the engine life. ProFuelX-2©® is substantially similar to fuel itself. ProFuelX-2©® doesn't change engine manufacturer required fuel and fuel additive specifications. ProFuelX-2©® fits the fuel additive requirements set forth in the Worldwide Fuel Charter written and published by all engine manufacturers which sets forth fuel and fuel additive specifications.
How does ProFuelX-2©® work in both gasoline and diesel engines? Both gasoline and diesel fuels are mixtures of hundreds of different hydrocarbons which differ in their chemical structure and composition. During the combustion process encountered in gasoline and diesel engines, these various hydrocarbon molecules mix with oxygen supplied by the air and compete for the combustion reactions in which carbon is converted to carbon dioxide and hydrogen is converted to water. Due to the complexity of combustion reactions, some of the hydrocarbons are not completely consumed, thus contributing to incomplete combustion and formation of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons. The oxides of nitrogen (NOx), another pollutant from motor vehicle emissions, are formed by the combination of oxygen and nitrogen which are present during the high temperature combustion process.
ProFuelX-2©®'s unique composition improves the dispersion between fuel molecules and enhances their mixing with the air, thereby improving the overall combustion efficiency in both gasoline and diesel engines. The results are better fuel economy and reduced harmful emissions. More specifically, in gasoline engines the most important effect is the reduction of combustion chamber deposits that results in lower Octane Number Required (ONR) by the engine. In diesel engines, ProFuelX-2©® increases the Cetane number of the diesel fuel and, thus, reduces the ignition delay, which results in improved combustion and a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
What is the significance of ONR? For satisfactory operation of a gasoline engine (without engine knock) it is important to use a gasoline with the Octane rating for which the engine has been designed. As the new engine accumulates mileage, combustion chamber deposits (CCD) are formed and they continue to increase until they reach equilibrium after 10,000 to 15,000 miles. The CCDs result in an increase in the octane number required (ONR) for the satisfactory operation of the engine. For a typical gasoline engine, the increase in ONR can range from 4 to 8 octane numbers.
Vehicle manufacturers compensate for this increase in ONR by detuning their new engines for lower octane gasoline so that after 10,000 to 15,000 miles when the ONR is stabilized, the vehicle may run satisfactorily using the commercial gasoline available in the market place. If ProFuelX-2©® is consistently in the marketplace fuels, the ONR can be minimized. In that case, new vehicles can be tuned by the manufacturers to perform at lower octane resulting in up to 5 percent better fuel economy.
How does ProFuelX-2©® reduce the ONR? ProFuelX-2©® improves the combustion process and therefore minimizes the build up of CCDs in gasoline engines which increase ONR
Does ProFuelX-2©® work in all grades of gasoline? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® works in all grades of gasoline from regular to premium reducing the ONR
How does ProFuelX-2©® benefit both new and used vehicle engines? In new vehicle engines, ProFuelX-2©® minimizes the formation of CCDs and reduces ONR. The engine stays cleaner, runs better, requires less maintenance, gives better fuel economy and produces lower emissions.
In used vehicle engines, ProFuelX-2©® will give instant noticeable benefits through improved combustion of the gasoline or diesel fuel. Used engines that are running roughly will have a noticeable smooth out effect when ProFuelX-2©® is added to the fuel. Additional cost benefits can be obtained by enabling the engine to obtain peak performance with reduced premium fuels in both gasoline and diesel.
Modern gasoline powered vehicles are equipped with knock sensors. When these engines operate at borderline knock conditions, the knock sensor recognizes it and retards the spark timing to avoid engine knock. However, retarded spark timing has adverse effects on engine performance and fuel economy. When ProFuelX-2©® is used in gasoline, it immediately reduces the ONR, and the knock sensor advances the spark timing resulting in significant improvements in engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions.
How does ProFuelX-2©® improve performance of my vehicle? By creating a more uniform and complete combustion in the engine, ProFuelX-2©® helps the engine generate the horsepower it was originally designed to produce by the engine manufacturer. ProFuelX-2©® accelerates combustion, therefore releasing more energy when the piston is at the top of the stroke. This provides for more power and smoother performance. There is little or no loss of power due to incomplete combustion of fuel, as experienced in untreated fuel.
Can ProFuelX-2©® improve mileage in all vehicles? Yes. By improving the dispersion of fuel molecules resulting in more complete combustion of fuel, ProFuelX-2©® increases the overall engine efficiency. This yields better performance and improved fuel economy.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work as well in engines with carburetors as engines with fuel injectors? Yes. Carburetors and fuel injectors are two different devices to introduce the fuel into the engine. In both cases, ProFuelX-2©® will improve the combustion process and deliver the benefits.
How does ProFuelX-2©® decrease hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions in the exhaust? Hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are the products of incomplete combustion of gasoline and diesel fuel. ProFuelX-2©® improves the combustion in both gasoline and diesel engines which results in reduced emission.
Does ProFuelX-2©® help stabilize the fuel? Yes.
Does ProFuelX-2©® contain MTBE, ETBE, ethanol or methanol? No. ProFuelX-2©® does not contain any of these octane boosters. ProFuelX-2©® has an oxygenated hydrocarbon element that improves the combustion process in gasoline and diesel engines. In gasoline engines, it reduces the combustion chamber deposits (CCD) thereby reducing the octane number required (ONR) by the engine. In diesel engines, it reduces the ignition delay and improves the Cetane number of diesel fuel. In both gasoline and diesel engines improved combustion results in better fuel economy and lower emissions.
Does ProFuelX-2©® contain metals, nitrates or sulfur? No. ProFuelX-2©® does not contain any amounts of these materials.
How often should I treat my gasoline or diesel fuel with ProFuelX-2©®? The use of ProFuelX-2©® is recommended in each tank of gasoline or diesel fuel used in the vehicle's engine.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work with Anti-Gels? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® is completely soluble in all oil based additives, such as stabilizers, anti-gels and fuel conditioners.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work with Bio-Diesel? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® Technology accelerates the combustion process and significantly reduces the smoke and particulate emissions from diesel engines. It improves cetane number, reduces engine noise and improves fuel economy.
Based on the experience in diesel fuel, ProFuelX-2©® can be safely used with Bio-diesel and Bio-diesel blends. Since Bio-diesel has similar properties to conventional diesel, ProFuelX-2©® is expected to provide similar benefits. In some cases there may be a synergistic effect and greater benefits may accrue by using ProFuelX-2©® with Bio-diesel. The most important benefits are discussed below.
Bio-diesel reduces the emissions of insoluble particulates. ProFuelX-2©® significantly reduces PM emissions, hence the combination of Bio-diesel and ProFuelX-2©® would result in much lower smoke and particulate emissions from diesel engines. Bio-diesel offers lower overall life cycle C02 emissions.
ProFuelX-2©® improves fuel economy; therefore, the use of ProFuelX-2©® in Bio-diesel would offer even lower C02 emissions.
The use of Bio-diesel may result in loss of power and lower fuel economy. ProFuelX-2©® accelerates the combustion process, increases cetane number, improves fuel economy, and reduces engine noise. Hence, it would compensate for power loss and fuel economy drawbacks of Bio-diesel
ProFuelX-2©® would reduce the cold start and gum formation problems that are sometimes encountered with use of Bio-diesel. The use of Bio-diesel in diesel engines may require more frequent oil change and increased engine maintenance. ProFuelX-2©® reduces deposit formation in engines and improves engine cleanliness. Therefore, it would compensate for increased maintenance and oil change problems encountered by Bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is more expensive than conventional diesel fuel. The use of ProFuelX-2©® is economically very attractive.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work in dual-fuel engines that use gasoline or diesel fuel along with natural gas? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® is a specialty additive for use in gasoline and diesel fuels. Hence, when the engine is running on diesel fuel, ProFuelX-2©® (blended with the diesel fuel) would provide all the stated benefits. However, when the diesel fuel is blended with gaseous fuels (such as natural gas) the benefits are derived only from the percentage of the treated diesel fuel used. There are no harmful effects from using ProFuelX-2©® with the natural gas. However, the natural gas (since not treated) will not show any additional benefits.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work in Railroad engines? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® is effective in all types of diesel engines. The main benefits of ProFuelX-2©® results due to improved combustion and thus the benefits also accrue in railroad engines.
How does ProFuelX-2©® decrease smoke and particulate emissions and reduce noise in diesel engines? In diesel engines, during the compression stroke only air is compressed and it heats up above the self-ignition temperature of diesel fuel. Near the end of compression stroke, liquid fuel is injected as very fine droplets, where it mixes with hot air. After a brief period called Ignition Delay, the fuel-air mixture ignites causing a rapid rise in pressure and temperature. This is called Premixed Burning Phase, where the bulk of NOx emissions and noise are produced. The rest of the diesel fuel is burned in the Diffusion Burning Phase where the rate of burning is controlled by air-fuel mixing, time and temperature. Diesel soot (unburned carbon particles) is formed in this phase. Most of the soot that is formed is subsequently burned during the later portion of the expansion stroke.
ProFuelX-2©® improves the Cetane number of diesel fuel, reduces the Ignition Delay period, shortens the Premixed Burning Phase and promotes complete combustion during the Diffusion Burning Phase. By reducing the ignition delay and the amount of fuel burned in the premixed burning phase, noise is reduced and slightly lower NOx emissions are formed. Early release of fuel energy in the diffusion burning phase results in higher temperature and its availability for longer duration of time for subsequent combustion. It helps in burning the soot and results in significant reduction in smoke and particulate emissions as well as improvements in engine performance and fuel economy. The higher temperature in the diffusion burning phase slightly increases NOx formation and offsets the NOx reduction achieved during the premixed burning phase. The net result is essentially no change in the overall NOx emissions.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work in direct injection as well as indirect injection diesel engines? Yes. The direct injection and indirect injection are simply two different ways of injecting diesel fuel into the engine. The benefits of ProFuelX-2©® are not altered by either mechanism.
How does ProFuelX-2©® extend the maintenance cycle of my engine? By creating a more uniform and complete combustion, ProFuelX-2©® reduces the deposit formation in engines. In addition, ProFuelX-2©® contains a hydrocarbon component that inhibits corrosion. The combined effect of these benefits is reduced engine maintenance and longer engine life.
What are the long-term effects of using ProFuelX-2©® in my engine? Continuous use of ProFuelX-2©® will improve engine cleanliness, lower maintenance costs, and extend engine life. Operationally, it will improve engine performance, provide better fuel economy and lower harmful emissions.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work with two-cycle engines? Yes. 2-stroke engines generally emit much higher amounts of hydrocarbon and smoke compared to 4-stroke engines. The use of ProFuelX-2©® will help in reducing both these emissions and it will also improve overall fuel economy of the 2-stroke engines. It also accelerates and improves combustion, substitutes for lead, stabilizes the fuel and lowers exhaust temperatures (thus lowering maintenance costs)
How should I use ProFuelX-2©® in 2-stroke gasoline engines? In 2-stroke engines the lubricating oil is directly mixed with gasoline by adding it into the fuel tank. ProFuelX-2©® can be added to either the fuel tank of the 2-stroke engine (just like in the case of a 4-stroke engine) or it can be added to the oil prior to mixing into the gasoline.
What happens if I put too much ProFuelX-2©® in my gasoline or diesel fuel? There are no harmful effects of over treating gasoline and diesel fuel with ProFuelX-2©®. However, ProFuelX-2©® benefits do not increase with over treating.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work with low sulfur diesel? Yes. During the production of low sulfur diesel, desulfurization processes at the refineries reduce the fuel lubricity. ProFuelX-2©® enhances fuel lubricity and is the perfect product for use in low sulfur diesel fuels.
Does ProFuelX-2©® help in reducing corrosion? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® contains an active hydrocarbon component that acts as a corrosion inhibitor.
What kind of engines can use ProFuelX-2©®? All internal combustion, 2 and 4 cycle engines using gasoline or diesel fuel will benefit from the use of ProFuelX-2©®.
Does ProFuelX-2©® help with moisture in fuel tanks? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® reduces condensation through its water tolerance properties. Also, small amounts of moisture will dissolve during the combustion process.
Does ProFuelX-2©® work as a stabilizer for fuels? Yes. ProFuelX-2©® substantially inhibits tank corrosion, improves stability of fuels, reduces gum formation, and has no deleterious effect on systems tested
How do I mix ProFuelX-2©® in gasoline? ProFuelX-2©® readily mixes with gasoline when added to the gasoline tank. It can be mixed in bulk or on a tank-by-tank basis.
How do I mix ProFuelX-2©® in diesel fuel? ProFuelX-2©® mixes readily with diesel fuel. It can be mixed in bulk or on a tank-by-tank basis.
The Importance of Cetane Number in Diesel Fuel
What is Cetane Number?
- Cetane Number is a measure of the ignition quality of a diesel fuel. It is often mistaken as a measure of fuel quality. Cetane number is actually a measure of a fuel's ignition delay. This is the time period between the start of injection and start of combustion (ignition) for the fuel. In a particular diesel engine, higher cetane fuels will have shorter ignition delay periods than lower cetane fuels.
- Cetane number should not be considered alone when evaluating diesel fuel quality. API gravity, BTU content, distillation range, sulfur content, stability and flash point are also very important. In colder weather, cloud point and low temperature filter plugging point may be critical factors.
Determining Cetane Number
- The method for determining cetane number is ASTM test D-613. This method requires the use of an industry standard test engine equipped with accepted instrumentation and operated under specific conditions. In this test, the engine compression ratio is varied for the test sample and reference fuels of known cetane number to obtain a fixed ignition delay. The compression ratio of the sample is bracketed by those of two reference fuels. The cetane number of the sample fuel is determined by estimating between the two reference fuel points.
- Because the ASTM D-613 test is time consuming and expensive, calculated cetane index is derived from the fuel's density and boiling range. While useful for estimating the cetane number of distilled fuels, this technique can not be applied to fuels containing conditioners that raise cetane number. These conditioners do not change the fuel density or distillation profile, so they do not alter the calculated cetane index.
How Does Cetane Number Affect Engine Operation?
- There is no benefit to using a higher cetane number fuel than is specified by the engine's manufacturer. The ASTM Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils (D-975) states, "The cetane number requirements depend on engine design, size, nature of speed and load variations, and on starting and atmospheric conditions. Increase in cetane number of over values actually required does not materially improve engine performance. Accordingly, the cetane number specified should be as low as possible to insure maximum fuel availability." This quote underscores the importance of matching engine cetane requirements with fuel cetane number.
- Diesel fuels with cetane number lower than minimum engine requirements can cause rough engine operation. They are more difficult to start, especially in cold weather or at high altitudes. They accelerate lube oil sludge formation. Many low cetane fuels increase engine deposits resulting in more smoke, increased exhaust emissions and greater engine war.
- Using fuels which meet engine operating requirements will improve cold starting, reduce smoke during start-up, improve fuel economy, reduce exhaust emissions, improved engine durability and reduce noise and vibration. These engine fuel requirements are published in the operating manual for each specific engine or vehicle
- Overall fuel quality and performance depend on the ratio of paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons, the presence of sulfur, water, bacteria, and other contaminants, and the fuel's resistance to oxidation. The most important measures of fuel quality include API gravity, heat value (BTU content), distillation range and viscosity. Cleanliness and corrosion resistance are also important. For use in cold weather, cloud point and low temperature filter plugging point must receive serious consideration. Cetane number does not measure any of these characteristics.
Cetane Improvers—Ignition Accelerators
- US diesel fuels are blends of distillate fuels and cracked petroleum hydrocarbons. The cracked hydrocarbons are low cetane compounds, largely due to their aromatic content. To meet the cetane number demands of most diesel engines, cetane improvers must be added to these blends. The lower cetane cracked compounds are less responsive to these cetane improvers than the higher cetane paraffinic fuels.
- Cetane improvers modify combustion in the engine. They encourage early and uniform ignition of the fuel. They discourage premature combustion and excessive rate of pressure increased in the combustion cycle. Depending on the amount of high versus low cetane components in the base fuel, typical alkyl nitrate conditioner treatments can increase cetane by about 3 to 5 numbers (1:1000 ratio). With high natural cetane premium base fuels (containing a high percentage of paraffin) and a 1:500 treatment ratio, cetane may increase up to a maximum of about 7 numbers.
- Most cetane improvers contain alkyl nitrates which break down readily to provide additional oxygen for better combustion. They also break down and oxidize fuel in storage. This generates organic particulates, water, and sludge - all of which degrade fuel quality. The result is often a fuel which no longer meets even minimum requirements. Because of these drawbacks, nitrate cetane improvers are not used in ProFuel X-2® fuel conditioners.
- ProFuel X-2® fuel conditioners are blended to improve oxidation stability, while providing a cetane number increase. ProFuel X-2® products are designed to improved combustion while reducing oxidation and particulate formation, increasing storage stability, and enhancing fuel quality.
Do Cetane Improving Additives Really Improve Fuel Quality?
- Fuel quality is defined by the physical property specifications given in the ASTM Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils, ASTM D-975. Carbon residue, ash and sulfur increase engine wear and deposit formation. Premium diesel fuels should have lower specifications of these properties. Additionally, premium diesel fuels should be more stable in storage than standard fuels, so the premium fuel quality you purchase won't degrade over time. This is the area where nitrate-containing cetane improvers cause problems.
- More fuel retailers are introducing premium diesel fuels, touting high cetane number as the sole benchmark of fuel quality. Contrary to his assumption, a cetane number which is too high may cause too short an ignition delay period. This changes the timing of the pressure peak, resulting i loss of power. When this happens, many of the performance problems associated with low cetane fuel will result. While the problems due to low cetane largely disappear after the engine warms up, with too high a cetane, these problems will persist even with a hot engine.
Specifying Diesel Fuel
- Cetane number is an important measure of ignition quality, or cold-starting ability. API gravity is an excellent indicator of heat value which translates into fuel economy and power. The distillation curve reflects the molecular weight distribution, with higher boiling fractions providing better lubrication higher cetane - and more deposits. Sulfur content is directly related to corrosion; this needs to be as low as possible. Oxidation stability, water, and sediment content affect the storage life of the oil. For winter use, low cloud point and low temperature filter plugging point are critical to uninterrupted operation. To insure the best quality fuel for your diesel engines, follow the engine manufacturer's specifications for al these characteristics.
