FAQ
What causes white smoke when I start my diesel engine?
Maxodyne Stop Smoke Gasoline Pack Maxodyne Stop Smoke Diesel Pack White smoke is caused by unburnt diesel fuel leaving the combustion chamber and entering the exhaust system. When white smoke occurs at cold start and then disappears as the engine warms up, the most common causes are fouling deposits around piston rings and/or cylinder glazing.…
Read MoreIs there a cost effective way to stop exhaust smoke?
Maxodyne Stop Smoke Gasoline Pack Maxodyne Stop Smoke Diesel Pack Exhaust smoke is an engine symptom to be concerned about. It indicates that an engine is not running right, and its service life is likely to be shortened considerably unless something is done to address the problem. The important thing to do is to see…
Read MoreCan Flushing Oil Concentrate make my engine use oil?
Flushing Oil Concentrate reduces oil use markedly by providing a clean seal for piston rings against ring grooves and the cylinder walls. It also reduces oil use by unblocking the drain-back segments of oil-control rings. Very few exceptions occur, unless severe wear or damage exists. We recommend prudence when flushing gasoline engines from the 1980s…
Read MoreHas FTC Decarbonizer been scientifically tested?
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.

Read MoreWill FTC Decarbonizer harm my engine?
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…
Read MoreWhat causes my engine to burn oil?
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…
Read MoreCan I use AW10 Antiwear in an automatic transmission?
Yes, AW10 Antiwear is totally suitable and recommended for use in automatic transmissions. It strengthens the transmission fluid to greatly reduce component wear, as well as reducing operational heat generation. An extremely effective and low-cost way to boost your automatic transmission’s performance and reliability. Find out more… Find Out More! Incredible improvement “I got the…
Read MoreCan I deglaze the cylinders without a complete tear-down?
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…
Read MoreWhat causes lubricating oil to wear out?
Oil wears out, or, more technically, ‘breaks down’ when the internal heat of an engine, transmission or driveline etc, causes a chemical reaction in the lubricating oil, which causes the oil’s viscosity to change. Simply, when an engine, transmission or hydraulic system heats up beyond a certain temperature threshold, the lubricating oil will begin to…
Read MoreHow can I free up stuck piston rings so they seal properly again?
Stuck piston rings are caused by carbon deposits in the ring grooves. Hard carbon deposits, a result of deficient combustion efficiency, accumulate in the ring grooves and in effect cement the rings into the grooves. This problem almost entirely prevents the rings from sealing adequately against the cylinder walls and often causes low compression, loss…
