Choose the most appropriate FTC Decarbonizer size for your particular need. Various size options are available –
FTC Decarbonizer is added directly to the fuel tank (diesel or gasoline) at time of fill up.
It is recommended to use a ‘double dose’ for the first few tankfuls of fuel so that it can do a thorough job of oxidizing tough carbon deposits in combustion areas as quickly and effectively as possible – this includes piston rings, ring grooves, exhaust valves, turbochargers, piston crowns, and deglazing cylinder bores. The amount or the severity of the hard carbon deposits will determine how quickly the oxidizing process takes – if there is not much carbon build up, the results will be achieved sooner than if there is a large amount of carbon build up to be oxidized. Every engine is different in this respect. Thereafter, the single dose rate can be used to continue to clean further deposits, and to keep the complete combustion area clean and working efficiently, particularly significantly reducing the production of engine-destroying soot. Continued use over time ensures maximum fuel efficiency and power, smooth engine operation, and less harmful emissions/exhaust smoke – all resulting in longer engine life and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
Large diesel engines: e.g. over 9.0 liter/550 cubic inch engine displacement
Add 16 fl oz per 100 gallons for the first few tankfuls of fuel (500 mL per 400 liters of fuel).
Thereafter, add 8 fl oz per 100 gallons of fuel (250 mL per 400 liters of fuel).
Small diesel & gasoline engines:
Add 1.6 fl oz per 10 gallons for the first few tankfuls of fuel (50ml per 40 liters of fuel).
Thereafter, add 0.8 fl oz per 10 gallons of fuel (25 mL per 40 liters of fuel).
As a rule of thumb, and depending on the engine’s fuel consumption rate, the following is usually helpful in determining which size is most suitable for your application –
- 16 fl oz of FTC Decarbonizer is usually enough to treat all small engines up to approximately 3.0 liter engine capacity (185 Cubic Inch) – passenger car, SUV, small tractor, or similar machines/boats etc.
- 32 fl oz of FTC Decarbonizer is usually enough to treat all engines up to approximately 6.0 liter engine capacity (370 Cubic Inch) – small to mid-size trucks, RV’s, large gasoline engines, tractors, or similar machines/boats etc.
- 64 fl oz of FTC Decarbonizer is usually enough to treat all engines up to approximately 9.0 liter engine capacity (550 Cubic Inch) – medium trucks, RV’s, tractors, or similar machines/boats etc.
- 1 gallon & 2 gallons of FTC Decarbonizer is usually enough to treat all engines over 9.0 liter engine capacity (over 550 Cubic Inch) – large trucks, tractors, other machine/boats etc.
(32 fl oz = 946 mL, 1 liter = 33.8 fl oz)
