Black Death of Engines: Sludge

Dirty diesel oil

Engine sludge is a very common and also very costly problem. Many automotive mechanics call this the Black Death of Engines. Engine sludge forms equally in both gasoline and diesel engines! What is Engine Sludge? Engine sludge like this is often the cause of premature, though preventable, engine failure Engine oil sludge is actually the…

A Real Solution to Engine Blow-by

Vehicle exhaust emissions being treated with Maxodyne technology.

Engine blow-by is the term used to describe excessive internal crankcase pressure – a result of inadequate sealing between the piston rings and the cylinder walls, particularly during the compression and power strokes of the crankshaft. During these strokes, generated compression and expansion pressures create extremely high pressure above the piston, and if the ring-to-cylinder…

Engine Blow-by

engine blowby can be fixed with FTC Decarbonizer

What causes Engine Blow-by? Engine blow-by can often be fixed without having to rebuild the engine Engine blow-by is caused by compression pressure in the combustion chamber escaping into the crankcase past stuck piston rings and/or glazed bores, and consequently over-pressurizing the crankcase. This condition can cause all sorts of exasperation for truckers and heavy…

Excessive Engine Oil Use

Whether it is a gasoline or diesel engine, excessive engine oil use is caused by either leaking seals and/or gaskets, or otherwise, the oil is being consumed in the combustion chamber during engine operation. When oil is combusted, excessive carbon particulate matter is produced, forming harmful carbon deposits within the combustion chamber and on associated components. Over time, these encrusted…

The Science Behind FTC Decarbonizer

FTC Decarbonizer is decades old

Using Maxodyne FTC Decarbonizer on an on-going basis is the best way to achieve the full benefits of it In 1944, research scientists were working on organo-metallic materials as an octane booster in gasoline. Their work concentrated on a group of chemicals classified as metal-based combustion catalysts. One chemical in particular, ferrous picrate, proved extremely…

Oil Soot, Carbon, & Blow-by Issues

Sooty engine oil, carbon deposits, & blow-by issues Regular diesel engine operation, including starting, becomes increasingly problematic as combustion-related deposits build up on critical engine components over time. Cold weather only compounds the situation. Types of operation, such as excessive idling, short run time, light work, and city type driving, all contribute to carbon and…

How Much Do I Need?

Maxodyne Product Lineup

Depending on the product, the amount needed can be worked out pretty easily. As the products are mixed with either the fuel (diesel or gasoline), or the oil (engine, transmission, differential or hydraulics) at a particular rate, some simple math can be applied to determine the correct size required. Below is the complete list of…
