During combustion, fuels will always leave certain amounts of deposits and more so if the quality of the fuel is poor. Such deposits will increase engine-out emissions and affect vehicle performance. milEx/mph performance fuel additives help reduce deposit formation to acceptable rates to improve power, acceleration, driveability, and reduce emissions.

Fuels with high FBT could potentially block filters in the distribution network or during use in a vehicle or industrial plants. Blending of biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) into diesel adds further complexity because the quality of the biodiesel also affects fuel operability especially filterability. Fuel cleanliness is an important issue as modern fuel injectors, injection pumps, and filters are being manufactured to more precise tolerances. milEx diesel performance additives help reduce filter blocking tendency of biodiesel blends.

Water in the fuel is one of the causes of corrosion. Higher biofuel content increases the affinity of the fuel with water. milex/mph performance fuel additives are formulated to provide excellent corrosion protection.

There have been reported cases of operational issues in diesel engines particularly in the agribusiness industry where vehicles are used on intermittent basis such as the tractors and harvesters. One of the causes identified is microbial growth in storage tanks. Diesel is degraded by accelerated aging caused by poor storage conditions and increased concentration of biodiesel that could promote microbial growth and product instability. Selected milEx diesel performance additives provide inherent microbial inhibition and special packages are also available that deliver extra protection that can totally eliminate microbial growth.

In a complex mixture such as diesel, some of the components are less soluble in the overall mixture than others, and these can end up functioning as natural surfactants that lower surface tension, and allowing foams to form. Antifoam is included in detergent packages to reduce the amount of foam that is creating when injecting fuel into a passenger tank at the service station. Reduced foam means faster and more complete fill. Antifoam also reduces spillage during filling and guarantees the motorists that they are pumping fuel instead of air into their fuel tanks.

Vehicle performance such as engine power is affected with due to the formation of deposits on vital engine parts. milEx/mph performance additives have the ability to clean up these performance-robbing deposits to control and restore power loss.

Fuel economy is becoming to be the most important measure of performance. This is brought about by greater demand for more tangible benefits from the motorists or end-users as well as increasing concerns on climate change and reduction of emissions. While detergent additives are known to deliver fuel economy, such benefit is achieved only after cleaning up the vital engine parts. Special milEx/mph performance additive packages are formulated with novel and unique components to deliver instantaneous and tangible fuel economy benefits that are demonstrated on real life vehicles and equipment.

Incomplete or inefficient combustion leads to increased formation of harmful emissions. milEx/mph performance additives helps reduce tailpipe emissions. Various engine modifications and exhaust aftertreatment devices have been considered to decrease emissions but in most cases there is an observed particulate matter and NOx trade-off. Special milex/mph performnace additive packages are formulated with novel and unique components to enhance fuel performance that would significantly reduce particulate matter without increasing NOx.

Ignition quality is critical in a diesel engine because in the absence of spark plugs the engine depends on the fuel to auto ignite. The ignition quality of a diesel fuel affects cold starting, emissions, engine noise and vibration. Cetane number is a measure of the ignition quality of the fuel where a higher cetane number means better ignition quality. Selected milEx performance additive packages are formulated with cetane improver to deliver performance benefits due to enhance ignition quality.
