What is Sludge?
Sludge is a dense, sticky substance that is formed naturally by bacteria in fuel systems. Sludge fouls filters, strainers, nozzles and injectors and causes pitting corrosion in fuel tanks and fuel filter housings. Sludge formation has little to do with the initial quality of fuel. Even the best fuel produces sludge when biological contamination and condensed moisture get together.

Fouled nozzles in heating systems lead to poor combustion, often with excessive noise and vibration. Fouled injectors in diesel engines result in rough running and loss of power. In both cases there will also be sooting and excessive air pollution as a result of incomplete combustion.

Fuel Right(R) COLD FLOW in pint bottles protects outdoor tanks during the winter months. Fuel Right (R) EP sets new standards for control of sludge, fouling, tank corrosion and winter freeze-ups in heating oil systems. One 8-ounce bottle treats a 275-gallon tank. Fuel Right (R) EP is available in QUART BOTTLES for treating larger tanks or splash-treating delivery trucks. Fuel Right (R) TREATED FILTERS are felt cartridges impregnated with the active ingredients found in Fuel Right (R) EP. Fuel Right (R) SUMMER DIESEL in 8-ounce bottles provides protection against fuel system and injector fouling, reduces smoking, and lubricates the injection pump for less wear and longer life. Fuel Right (R) WINTER DIESEL in 8-ounce bottles combines the ingredients in Summer Diesel and in Fuel Right (R) Cold Flow, providing all of the benefits needed for diesel engines in the cold winter months.

Perhaps the greatest concern is the corrosion of tanks. Pitting corrosion due to sludge contamination is the most common cause of fuel tank leaks.

What Does Fuel Right Do?
Fuel Right sludge-control products (EP, 6000, 7500, Summer Diesel, Winter Diesel) inhibit the formation of sludge in clean systems and slowly break down existing sludge in fouled systems. The things released in this process pass harmlessly through the system and burn as fuel. If there is free condensed water in a system, Fuel Right treats it with a fuel antifreeze, protecting against fuel system freeze-ups in the winter months. Most importantly, Fuel Right coats steel surfaces in your system, protecting them against corrosion from the combined effects of moisture and contamination.

Laboratory tests have shown that Fuel Right is uniquely effective in protecting fuel systems against the ravages of fuel contamination. To learn more about these test results, go to See The Results. If you have any questions you can Contact Us by phone or Email.
