Fleetguard, a Cummins subsidiary, has released a new diesel fuel additive package that provides fuel system protection for heavy-duty vehicles during harsh weather conditions. Marketed under the trade name of Fleet-tech, the additive package is designed to protect the complete fuel system and increase vehicle uptime. Fleet-tech is available in four formulations designed for specific application use: Winter Conditioner, Winter Conditioner Concentrate, Asphaltene Conditioner and Asphaltene Conditioner Concentrate.
Fleet-tech Winter Conditioner and Winter Conditioner Concentrate protect the engine’s fuel system by preventing ice crystal formation and fuel gelation. The new additive products are compatible with all diesel fuels and do not contain harmful alcohol for safer disposal.
Asphaltene Conditioner and Asphaltene Conditioner Concentrate are aimed specifically at preventing the formation of asphaltenes, residue that can cause serious fuel filter plugging.
