DIESELEX GOLD
Product Specification Sheet
Features:
Exceeds ASTM D975 requirements for #2 diesel fuel
Exceeds ASTM D396 requirements for #2 burner fuel oil
Meets or exceeds the ―premium‖ criteria recommended by NCWM, EMA, and TMC for
thermal stability and detergency
Passes industry standard for DW-10 and XUD-9 Injector Test (Detergency Measurement)
Delivers lubricity protection targeted at minimum 460 µm (HFRR test procedure—ASTM
6097) and easily exceeds the Engine Manufacturer’s Association (EMA) recommendations.
Passes the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) fuel corrosion test (ASTM
665A)
Dieselex Gold contains optimum amounts of the following chemistry to improve diesel
fuel’s inherent performance characteristics:
Cetane Improver – enhances fuel ignition quality for faster starts, improved combustion,
and produces cleaner emissions.
Detergent – cleans up both traditional carbon deposits from fuel injector tips and orifices
and newer Internal Diesel Injector Deposits (IDID) also known as sticky deposits. Cleaning
up injectors improves engine performance by restoring lost power, improving fuel economy
and producing fewer harmful emissions.
Corrosion Inhibitors – improve the life of storage tanks and fuel system components by
reducing rust and corrosion.
Lubricity Enhancer – reduces wear in critical moving parts of fuel pumps and injectors by
preventing harmful friction.
Oxidation Inhibitors – optimized to reduce sludge build-up from deteriorating fuel through
dispersant action, prevent formation of gums and fuel system deposits, and extend filter
life.
Fuel Stabilizers – extend stored fuel life by helping the fuel to retain its original quality
longer.
Demulsifier – helps diesel fuel shed free moisture and allows it to drop to the bottom of
tanks for physical removal.
Moisture Control – helps solubilized moisture move through the engine without increasing
wear or degrading fuel performance. Reduces moisture accumulation throughout the fuel
system that can lead to corrosion, microbial activity, and associated operational problems.
