Actioil A550 Diesel Fuel Treatment

Actioil A550 is a complete diesel fuel system treatment and biocide designed to help prevent and resolve many of the fuel-related problems associated with modern diesel and biodiesel. Suitable for use in vehicles, machinery and diesel storage tanks, Actioil helps maintain cleaner fuel systems, improve fuel performance and protect critical components from contamination, corrosion and sludge.

Modern diesel fuel can naturally degrade during storage and throughout the fuel supply chain. The increasing use of biofuel, combined with condensation, water contamination and temperature fluctuations, can encourage the development of bacteria, fungi and yeast. These microorganisms can contribute to sludge and sediment formation, potentially resulting in blocked filters, injectors, fuel pumps and fuel lines.

Actioil A550 works to treat contaminated fuel while helping prevent further microbial growth and fuel system contamination. It can also form a protective nano-film on fuel system components, helping provide protection against corrosion.

For fuel storage tanks, Actioil can provide protection for up to three years, while treatment in vehicles and machinery can provide protection for up to one year or the applicable service interval, whichever comes first.

Key Benefits

• Complete diesel fuel system treatment for modern diesel and biodiesel fuels.
• Contains biocide to eliminate and help prevent the reappearance of harmful microorganisms.
• Helps combat bacteria, fungi and yeast associated with contaminated diesel.
• Helps prevent the formation of sludge and fuel sediment.
• Improves fuel lubricity to help protect fuel system components.
• Forms a protective nano-film to help protect tanks and diesel system components against corrosion.
• Helps disperse and encapsulate water particles so they can be removed with the fuel.
• Helps protect fuel pumps and injectors.
• Helps restore diesel engine performance where fuel contamination is a contributing factor.
• Helps prevent paraffin formation and fuel crystallisation.
• Helps transform accumulated sludge at the bottom of the tank back into usable fuel.
• Helps extend the effective storage life of treated diesel.
• Suitable for vehicles, machinery and diesel storage tanks.
• Long-lasting protection of up to 1 year in vehicles/machinery and up to 3 years in storage tanks, when used according to the treatment instructions.

Problems Associated with Modern Diesel

Diesel fuel can begin to degrade from the point it leaves the refinery and continues throughout transportation, storage and use. The addition of biofuel can increase the challenges associated with long-term fuel storage.

Water & Condensation

Temperature changes and humid air inside fuel tanks can result in condensation and water accumulation. Water contamination can encourage microbial growth and contribute to:

• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Yeast
• Sludge formation
• Fuel oxidation
• Corrosion of metal tanks
• Deterioration of plastic tank components

Sludge & Sediment

Microbial contamination and fuel degradation can result in sludge and sediment that may restrict the fuel system and contribute to blockages in:

• Fuel nozzles
• Fuel pumps
• Fuel lines
• Fuel filters
• Fuel pick-up tubes
• Injectors

Contaminated or degraded fuel can ultimately contribute to loss of engine performance, blocked filters and injector problems.

How Actioil A550 Helps

Actioil A550 is designed to address the causes and effects of diesel fuel contamination rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Its biocidal action helps control microorganisms, while its protective properties help maintain the condition of the fuel system. By helping manage water, sludge, microbial contamination and corrosion, Actioil can help maintain cleaner fuel and more reliable engine operation.

Suitable Applications

Actioil A550 can be used in a wide range of diesel-powered equipment and fuel storage applications, including:

• Cars and vans
• Trucks and commercial vehicles
• Agricultural machinery
• Tractors
• Construction equipment
• Plant and machinery
• Excavators and loaders
• Generators
• Forestry equipment
• Quarry equipment
• Industrial diesel engines
• Commercial diesel storage tanks
• Agricultural fuel tanks
• Workshop and depot fuel tanks

Vehicle & Machinery Treatment Instructions

For best results, treat the fuel after replacing the fuel filter during routine servicing.

Follow the treatment procedure carefully:

1. Perform the treatment when the fuel tank is less than ¼ full.
2. Add the required quantity of Actioil A550 according to the applicable dosage chart.
3. Start the engine and run it at approximately 1,000 rpm for 15 minutes.
4. Fill the fuel tank completely with diesel.
5. The vehicle or machine is then ready for use and protected for up to 1 year or the applicable service interval, whichever comes first.

Important: Always use the correct Actioil dosage for the quantity of diesel being treated.

Diesel Storage Tank Treatment Instructions

For diesel storage tanks:

1. Perform the treatment when the tank is less than ¼ full.
2. Add the required quantity of Actioil A550 according to the applicable storage tank dosage chart.
3. Fill the storage tank completely with diesel.
4. Allow the treatment to work for 2 hours.
5. The treated fuel is then ready for use and protected for up to 3 years.

Important: Always follow the recommended dosage for the total quantity of diesel being treated.
