Restore Engine Performance by Improving Combustion Efficiency

FTC Decarbonizer is a fuel-borne combustion catalyst formulated for both gasoline and diesel engines.

It works by enhancing the combustion process, enabling fuel to burn more completely and efficiently.

As combustion is optimized, the catalytic effect also oxidizes hard, baked-on carbon deposits in combustion chambers and exhaust spaces. This process significantly reduces carbon-related factors that adversely affect engine performance.

The catalytically-induced decarbonizing effect of FTC Decarbonizer will free stuck compression rings, deglaze cylinder walls, and oxidize carbon buildup in components such as turbochargers, EGR systems, and diesel particulate filters (DPF).

These positive effects greatly contribute to reduced emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and sustained long-term engine performance and durability.

It is also used in diesel applications to eliminate microbial contamination commonly referred to as “diesel bug.”

FTC Decarbonizer has been used in real-world applications for decades across a wide range of engines, from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty industrial equipment.

Its effectiveness is based on its formulation as a true fuel catalyst, enhancing the combustion process so fuel burns more completely and efficiently.

As combustion efficiency improves, the production and accumulation of carbon and soot is significantly reduced, and existing deposits are progressively oxidized during normal operation.

This process overcomes the underlying factors that contribute to issues such as engine blow-by, exhaust smoke, stuck piston rings, reduced performance, and carbon-related problems in components like turbochargers and diesel particulate filters (DPF).

Results can vary depending on engine condition and usage, but consistent use effectively improves engine performance, reduced emissions, and more reliable, lower cost operation over time.

Yes. FTC Decarbonizer has been scientifically tested and evaluated over many years by independent research institutions and engineering organizations.

Testing has been conducted by facilities including the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Brigham Young University, the University of Perugia in Italy, and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Texas.

These evaluations have examined the product’s impact on combustion efficiency, emissions, and carbon-related issues within engines.

The results confirm FTC Decarbonizer’s ability to enhance the combustion process and promote the oxidation of carbon deposits during normal engine operation.

This testing, combined with extensive real-world use across a wide range of engines and applications, cements its performance claims.

No. FTC Decarbonizer is completely safe for engine components when used as directed.

It works by modifying the combustion process rather than just adding commonly used harsh detergents or solvents, which often cause component damage, or even failure, with no measurable long-term benefit.

The catalytic effect promotes progressive and controlled oxidation of carbon deposits during normal engine operation.

This process begins with softer deposits and progresses over time to address more resilient buildup, without the need for costly mechanical intervention and associated downtime.

The routinely costly problem of stuck piston rings is overcome by removing the carbon buildup in the ring groove which prevents the ring’s expansion and proper sealing.

This problem is caused by carbon deposits building up in the ring grooves because of incomplete combustion.

Over time, these deposits severely limit ring expansion, leading to reduced compression, blow-by, excessive oil use, and loss of engine performance.

FTC Decarbonizer is a true fuel catalyst which significantly enhances combustion efficiency, causing fuel to burn more completely and effectively.

As combustion is modified, the production and formation of carbon is reduced, and existing deposits are progressively oxidized (burned off) during normal engine operation.

As the rock-hard carbon deposits are oxidized from the ring grooves, compression rings will once again properly expand under compression and create the necessary cylinder seal; restoring compression, engine performance, and reducing or entirely eliminating blow-by and excessive oil use.

This action occurs during normal operation and does not require costly and time-consuming engine disassembly.

In most cases, cylinder glazing can be rectified without a complete engine tear-down by removing the carbon deposits that have built up within the cylinder cross-hatch micro-grooves.

Cylinder glaze is largely caused by hard carbon deposits that accumulate over time because of poor or inefficient fuel combustion. These deposits fill the fine cross-hatch micro grooves in the cylinder walls and can become polished ‘mirror-smooth’ by the compression ring’s reciprocal movement. This severely
affects the surface’s ability to retain oil and provide proper lubrication, cooling, and compression sealing.

FTC Decarbonizer is a true fuel catalyst formulated to improve combustion efficiency, causing fuel to burn more completely and efficiently. As combustion is enhanced, the production and formation of carbon is significantly reduced, and existing deposits are progressively oxidized during normal engine operation.

As these deposits are eliminated, the underlying cylinder surface recovers its ability to retain oil on the cylinder wall, restoring correct compression seal and piston lubrication. This action overcomes otherwise costly and time-consuming problems such as low compression, excessive oil consumption, and engine blow-by.

This engine-saving action occurs during normal engine operation and consequently, prevents expensive engine disassembly or other invasive mechanical procedures. Results may vary depending on engine condition, but consistent use is intended to address the underlying conditions that contribute to cylinder glazing.

FTC Decarbonizer eliminates soot accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) by catalytically enhancing the combustion process, causing fuel to burn more completely and efficiently; producing less soot at the source, as well as oxidizing soot and other exhaust particulate matter throughout the entire exhaust stream.

This action is especially valuable for the life and operation of the DPF.

Soot trapped in the DPF is combusted and eliminated at temperatures significantly lower than usually required — typically in the range of approximately 575°F to 750°F (300°C to 400°C), which are commonly reached during normal diesel engine operation.

By comparison, regular soot usually requires temperatures around 1100°F (595°C) to combust.

As a result, soot is oxidized continuously during normal operation, rather than relying solely on problematic externally generated, high-temperature regeneration cycles.

This action significantly reduces soot loading within the DPF and diminishes or often entirely eliminates DPF regenerations over time.

Because soot acts as a binding agent for ash accumulation within a DPF, reducing soot levels will also limit long-term destructive ash buildup within the DPF.

FTC Decarbonizer neutralizes the root cause of many DPF-related issues by greatly enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the fuel burn, rather than relying only on auxiliary downstream after-treatment measures.
