Baldwin Filters Offering Stanadyne Fuel Additives
Baldwin Filters is now offering one of the most premier lines of fuel additives in the industry. Stanadyne fuel
additives are now part of Baldwin’s product offering and will provide your customers with the highest quality
and most technologically advanced fuel additives in the market. These cutting-edge additives provide the
highest level of protection to any diesel/gasoline fuel injection system.
As a manufacturer of diesel fuel injection equipment for over 50 years, Stanadyne is familiar with fuel related
issues and the effects they can have on the fuel injection system, as well as subsequent engine performance
issues. This family of Stanadyne fuel additives was developed to address these and other issues for all
climates and operating conditions. Stanadyne multifunctional additives are designed to improve and restore
engine performance, while protecting the fuel injection system from costly damage caused by poor fuel quality.
Stanadyne additives will improve your engine’s performance and fuel economy. This is achieved by using a
unique combination of specially formulated additives that clean the fuel injection system while simultaneously
improving the quality of the base fuel (cetane improver, lubricity improver, corrosion inhibitors and water
demulsifiers, etc.).
The net result is restored horsepower, torque and increased economy. Regular use of Stanadyne fuel additives
more than pays for itself as testing has shown average fuel economy improvements of 3.5%. In some cases
the improvement has been as high as 15%.
Testing confirms that the advanced cleaning compounds in the Stanadyne fuel additives prevent and eliminate
deposits commonly found on intake valves and fuel system components. This combination of additive
technology restores your engine to its optimum performance.

Q:
A:
Stanadyne fuel additives are available for diesel and gasoline engines and can be used in any climate.
Information about Stanadyne fuel additives can be accessed from our website, by clicking on the Stanadyne
Additives button on the home page. This link will open the information in a new window.
All Stanadyne fuel additives are alcohol free.
What is the shelf life of Stanadyne fuel additives?
Stanadyne fuel additives can be stored for up to 24 months without deteriorating if they are unopened and in
a suitable storage environment. Additives will begin to deteriorate when stored longer or improperly and may
lose some effectiveness.
Why do I have to store Stanadyne fuel additives in a location that is above freezing?
Stanadyne fuel additives will freeze in their concentrated form, but not once they are added to diesel fuel or
gasoline.
Q:
A:
What is the Treatment Ratio of Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives?
Q:
A:
Can Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives be used in bulk storage tanks?
Treatment ratios vary depending on which Stanadyne fuel additive you are using. Please reference the product
label or the Diesel Fuel Additive brochure (Form 99549) in the Diesel Fuel Additives documents section
currently found on the CLARCOR Engine Mobile Solutions website at www.stanadyneadditives.com for
treatment ratios.
All Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives are suitable for use in bulk storage application. However, the conditions
under which they are added to the storage tank will have an impact on the rate at which they disperse. The
composition of the additive and diesel fuel in the tank depends on several factors such as temperature of the
base fuel and additive, the size of the bulk storage tank, the degree of agitation in the tank, etc.
If there is mixing/agitation in the storage tank, then the additive will remain mixed. However, if there is no
mixing/agitation, the level of dispersion in the storage tank will be an unknown variable.
To obtain proper dispersion in a bulk storage tank, add the recommended ratio of fuel additive to the tank
prior to adding the fuel. The addition of the base fuel will provide the necessary mixing/agitation.

Q:
Are Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives compatible with high-pressure common rail fuel systems and will
they harm exhaust aftertreatment systems?
A:
Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives are compatible with all types of fuel systems and will not harm
aftertreatment systems.
Q:
A:
Can I use Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives to treat biodiesel?
Q:
A:
Q:
A:
Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives will effectively treat the diesel (petroleum) portion of biodiesel up to B20
and increase water separation.
How long will Performance Formula® Fuel Additives keep fuel stable?
The antioxidants contained in Performance Formula Fuel Additives will keep diesel fuel stable for
approximately 12 months.
What are demulsifiers and does Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives use them?
Demulsifiers help make water drop out of suspension, so the filter/separator can more effectively remove
water. The detergents that are added to diesel fuel additives tend to emulsify water into the fuel, which can
cause various issues. This is why demulsifiers are added to all Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives.
Emulsified water in fuel can cause a variety of issues including:
• Erosion of the injectors (especially in HPCR engines)
• A reduction of the speed of combustion resulting in still burning particles striking the cylinder wall
and crown
• Volatility of the fuel in the pumps before entering the engine, causing fuel delivery issues
• Incomplete combustion/power loss
• A dilution of the oil film in the engine’s cylinder, leading to increased wear
• Corrosion in the engine and fuel system components
Q:
Are Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives formulated to provide protection against the plugging of filters
from asphaltenes?
A:
All Stanadyne Diesel Fuel Additives, excluding Winter 1000®, have detergents in the chemistry that will help
disperse asphaltene molecules in order to minimize fuel filter clogging.
Q : When should Performance Formula Injector Cleaner be used?
A: Performance Formula Injector Cleaner has concentrated detergents to clean common rail injectors and the
®
fuel system and should be used on an as needed basis, as a “One Tank” clean up, or when performance issues
arise. For preventive maintenance, use 4 – 6 times per year or at every oil change interval.
Q:
A:
When should Stanadyne Gasoline Additive+ be used?
The Stanadyne Gasoline Additive+ has concentrated detergents, ethanol protection and a corrosion
preventative to clean the fuel injection system . Recommended use is once a month. If the vehicle and/or small
engine is being stored for a long period of time, fuel should be treated with Stanadyne Gasoline Additive+
due to its ethanol protection and fuel stabilizer benefits.
