ProTecta Synthetic Fuel System Treatment
How Does SFR Protecta Fuel System Treatment Work?
The fuel efficiency of an engine is influenced by a number of factors. No internal combustion engine is 100% efficient in converting the energy of the fuel into power to move the vehicle. Energy is lost through the exhaust, coolant, through radiation as heat and through friction between moving parts. These frictional losses can account for up to 38% of the total energy in the fuel with nearly one half of this loss coming from pistons, rings, and cylinder walls.
Some of the reason for the huge contribution of the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls to the frictional losses relative to their contact surface areas is that these areas are not directly lubricated by oil passages. The crankcase lubricant is splashed, and in some cases sprayed, on the underside of the piston and ring area. Very little if any lubricant ever reaches the top, or compression, ring. This is why you will want to use SFR Protecta Engine Treatment and SFR Protecta Fuel System Treatment for maximum results.
Why does the mileage improvement you advertise last an entire oil change, what does the oil have to do with a fuel improvement?
ProTecta Fuel System Treatment is engineered for addressing two different areas to improve mileage. First, the polyetheramine is an aggressive synthetic detergent that not only cleans injectors but cleans combustion chambers as well. ProTecta offers clean up to 95% with only one tank full. Most all competitive products require several bottles to achieve this level of cleanliness. Clean injectors and combustion chambers allow for maximum mileage.
Improved mileage for older cars through cleaning is one thing, but ProTecta works on new cars as well. ProTecta has a special friction modifier that once put into the fuel tank actually gravitates into the motor oil and stays on top of the pistons where there is only splash lubrication. By reducing friction in this critical area, fleet testing has shown that a new car will achieve a mileage improvement 3-4%. A major oil company has tested this technology and has verified that the use of a friction modifier in a fuel system treatment will work the length of the oil change. Thus, for maximum results use ProTecta Complete Fuel System Treatment when you change your oil.
I used the ProTecta Fuel System Treatment but my car ran rough after using it, got any ideas?
Yes, if you have a lot of miles on your vehicle, check your fuel filter. Since ProTecta cleans from tank to engine, and in only one tank full, you might need to change your fuel filter. Cleaning the system is good for your engine, and the fuel filter has captured a lot of the contaminants in the system. Once your fuel filter is changed you will see that performance will improve markedly.
