Liqui Moly’s »Marine Diesel Protect« has been given an additional function. The additive now not only combats bacteria, cleans the[ds_preview] fuel system, provides anti-corrosion protection and increases the cetane number, it also protects the fuel more effectively from oxidation and ageing so as to avoid problems that occur after long periods of disuse.
»Marine Diesel Protect is a versatile all-purpose solution that can be used preventively or to tackle an existing problem,« says Jan Volk, who is in charge of the marine trade at Liqui Moly. »If you have the additive on board, you’re well equipped to deal with all the typical diesel problems.«
One of these is the ageing of diesel fuel. This tends to occur in boats that are out of service for lengthier periods or are not moved very much. The chemical composition of the diesel fuel changes over time. Resin-like residues can form which block the nozzles and filters. The new Marine Diesel Protect formula slows down the ageing process of diesel fuel and protects it from harmful oxidation.
Marine Diesel Protect also provides protection from microbial contamination. Bacteria, yeasts and moulds spread during periods of disuse, forming a tough slime that blocks the fuel filter, forcing the engine to stall. Marine Diesel Protect combats these microorganisms. The additive also removes deposits from the entire fuel system and ensures effective protection from corrosion. Finally, it contains a cetane number improver that makes the fuel more combustible.
»Our Marine Diesel Protect is the chemical Swiss army knife for all those who own a boat with a diesel engine«, Jan Volk puts it.
