ACES II Catalyst FAQ
1. What is the ACES II Diesel Catalyst?
ACES II Diesel Catalyst is a multi-functional fuel treatment designed to improve engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions. It contains unique compounds that enhance ignition and combustion, clean fuel systems, and provide lubrication.
2. How was the ACES II Catalyst developed?
Originally designed for military applications, the catalyst was created to improve ignition, combustion, and lubricity. The formulation has since been adapted for various engine types, including gasoline and diesel, by adjusting chemical ratios for specific applications.
3. What benefits does the ACES II Catalyst provide?
- Improved Ignition: Enhances fuel burn rate, increases power, and improves cold start performance.
- Fuel System Cleaning: Prevents deposit build-up in fuel injectors and carburetors.
- Lubrication: Provides synthetic lubrication that reduces friction and engine wear.
- Corrosion Protection: Forms a protective film that prevents metal corrosion.
- Anti-Oxidation: Stabilizes fuel and reduces gum deposits.
- Cold Flow Improvement: Prevents fuel gelling and ice formation.
4. How does ACES II improve fuel combustion?
ACES II releases additional oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen at combustion, extending burn time and efficiency, increasing horsepower, reducing emissions, and decreasing carbon deposits.
5. Can the ACES II Catalyst improve fuel efficiency?
Yes, by enabling more complete combustion of the base fuel, the catalyst increases power output per fuel volume, which improves overall fuel efficiency.
6. What is the role of a water emulsifier in ACES II?
The catalyst includes compounds that prevent water-related engine damage by forming protective films and utilizing small amounts of water to improve combustion.
7. How does ACES II address cold weather performance?
With strong pour point depressants and cold filter flow improvers, the catalyst prevents fuel from gelling and ensures flow in cold conditions.
8. Is the ACES II Catalyst tested for lubricity?
Yes, tests by Southwest Research Institute and Penn State University confirm ACES II’s effectiveness in reducing friction and improving fuel economy.
