Perkins fuel cleaner will remove deposits that can
form in the fuel system with the use of biodiesel and
biodiesel blends. These deposits can create a loss of
power and engine performance.
Once the fuel cleaner has been added to the fuel, the
deposits within the fuel system are removed after 30
hours of engine operation. For maximum results,
continue to use the fuel cleaner for up to 80 hours.
Perkins fuel cleaner can be used on an on-going
basis with no adverse impact on engine or fuel
system durability.
Detailed instructions on the rate of which the fuel
cleaner must be use are on the container.
Perkins Diesel Fuel Conditioner
The UMK8276 Perkins Diesel Fuel Conditioner can
be used in the industrial engines that are associated
with this manual. The diesel fuel conditioner is a
proprietary metal and ash free formulation that has
been extensively tested for use with distillate diesel
fuels for use in Perkins diesel engines. The diesel
fuel conditioner helps address many of the
challenges that various fuels worldwide present in
regards to fuel life/stability, engine startability, injector
deposits, fuel system life, and long-term engine
performance.
Note: Diesel fuel additives/conditioners may not
improve markedly poor diesel fuel properties enough
to make poor diesel acceptable for use.
Diesel fuel conditioner is a proven high performance,
multipurpose diesel fuel conditioner that is designed
to improve:
• Fuel economy (through fuel system cleanup)
• Lubricity
• Oxidation stability
• Detergency/dispersancy
• Moisture dispersancy
• Corrosion protection
• Cetane (typically 2-3 cetane numbers)
The diesel fuel conditioner also reduces the formation
of gums, resins, and sludge, and disperses insoluble
gums.
For maximum overall benefits, ask your fuel supplier
to add the fuel conditioner at the recommended treat
rate before fuel delivery. Or you may add the fuel
conditioner at the recommended treat rate during the
early weeks of fuel storage.
Contamination Control
Recommendations for Fuels
Fuels of “ISO 18/16/13” cleanliness level or cleaner
as dispensed into the engine or application fuel tank
should be used. Reduce power loss, failures, and
related down time of engines will result. This
cleanliness level is important for new fuel system
designs such as common rail injection systems and
unit injection systems. Injection system designs utilize
higher fuel pressures and tight clearances between
moving parts in order to meet required stringent
emissions regulations. Peak injection pressures in
current fuel injection systems may exceed 30,000 psi.
Clearances in these systems are less than 5 µm. As a
result, particle contaminants as small as 4 µm can
cause scoring and scratching of internal pump and
injector surfaces and of injector nozzles.
Water in the fuel causes cavitation, corrosion of fuel
system parts, and provides an environment where
microbial growth in the fuel can flourish. Other
sources of fuel contamination are soaps, gels, or
other compounds that may result from undesirable
chemical interactions in the fuels, particularly in
ULSD. Gels and other compounds can also form in
biodiesel fuel at low temperatures or if biodiesel is
stored for extended periods. The best indication of
microbial contamination, fuel additives, or cold
temperature gel is rapid filter plugging of bulk fuel
filters or application fuel filters.
In order to reduce downtime due to contamination,
follow these fuel maintenance guidelines.
