FTC Decarbonizer FAQ

FTC Decarbonizer causes all carbon in combustion and exhaust spaces, including any soot trapped in the DPF, to combust and be eliminated at temperatures as low as 575⁰F to 750⁰F (300°C to 400°C) – a temperature readily reached by diesel engines. Find out more… Find Out More!

Yes, FTC Decarbonizer is a genuine biocide and a lot safer to use compared to some other biocides! It will kill the diesel bug – diesel growths (bacteria, fungi, algae) quickly, and most importantly with little or no fuel filter clogging issues! Find out more… Find Out More!

Yes, it does. FTC Decarbonizer is a unique combustion catalyst. During the fuel combustion process, it oxidizes hard carbon from combustion and exhaust spaces, including turbos and DPF’s, and the hard-carbon buildup on cylinder walls that is refered to as “cylinder glaze”. The oxidization process really will deglaze cylinders as the engine operates. Find out…

FTC Decarbonizer is a result of research scientists working on organo-metallic materials to act as an octane booster in gasoline, decades ago. Their work concentrated on a group of chemicals classified as metal-based combustion catalysts. One chemical in particular proved extremely interesting to them – they discovered that the addition of trace amounts of this…

FTC Decarbonizer has been scientifically tested and analyzed over many years. Research and test facilities include: University of California, Los Angeles(UCLA), CA 1971, Brigham Young University, UT, University of Perugia, ITALY, Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) TX, and many others.

FTC Decarbonizer modifies the chemistry of the fuel combustion process, to accelerate the fuel burn (explosion) and oxidize existing combustion chamber and exhaust system carbon. This action is harmless to engine components and is a progressive action, working first on the easier, softer deposits, and eventually on stubborn hard carbon that would normally have to…

Excessive engine oil use is often caused by glazed cylinders, stuck compression rings, and blocked oil-control rings. A build-up of carbon deposits creates these problems and allows engine oil to get into the combustion chamber where it is burned, which only produces more harmful carbon deposits. The solution is to safely and effectively eliminate these…

In the large majority of cases, cylinder glaze is carbon build-up in the cylinder cross-hatch grooves. This hard carbon, a result of poor or inefficient combustion, builds up over time in the cross hatch micro grooves of the cylinder, and becomes mirror smooth due to the piston ring’s polishing effect. In the past, the only…

Stuck piston compression rings are caused by hard carbon deposits in the ring grooves. Carbon from incomplete combustion accumulates in the narrow grooves that position the rings correctly on the piston. It hardens over time and in effect cements the rings into a compressed, immoveable position. When that happens, the rings can no longer expand…
