Your Fuel & You.

What you need to know about maintaining fuel quality.

Problem: Fuel Stability and Debris in Fuel and Fuel Systems
Today’s fuel is engineered to be used soon after it has been blended; fuel that won’t be used for a month or more needs to be stabilized. As fuel ages it can form harmful gums and other solids that leave deposits throughout the fuel system. Carburetors, fuel pumps, injectors and fuel tanks become gummed which makes the engine run poorly and hard to start, resulting in engine knock, lost performance, and rough idle. It is especially important to stabilize ethanol/gasoline blends which degrade much faster than traditional gasoline.

Star Tron® Solution: Star Tron is a powerful fuel stabilizer that helps prevent fuel breakdown for up to two years. This results in easier starts, more power, and prevents pinging & knocking. Star Tron improves octane levels of sub-standard, non-spec, or old fuel. Star Tron can rejuvenate stale fuel, helping restore it to serviceable condition. Star Tron’s enzymes break down gum and other debris into sub-micron sized particles that can be dispersed throughout the fuel and easily burned during the combustion process, restoring full performance and fuel efficiency.


Problem: Water in Fuel
Water in fuel will degrade combustion, affect the octane level and can cause damage to internal components such as fuel pumps and injectors. As the amount of water in the fuel increases, engines begin to run rough or even stall. Ethanol fuel is even more likely to be affected because alcohol naturally attracts water from the atmosphere. Water in fuel can lead to phase separation when water and ethanol form a chemical bond and fall to the bottom of the fuel tank.

Star Tron® Solution: Star Tron’s enzyme formula treats water by reducing the surface tension between fuel and water, reducing the size of the molecular water clusters. This allows more water to be dispersed throughout the fuel as sub-micron sized droplets that can be safely eliminated as the engine operates. Star Tron-treated fuel allows more water to be “burned” off than with untreated fuel, drying out the tank and preventing water buildup, which helps prevent phase separation.


Problem: Decreased Power and Performance
Today’s fuels have been designed to burn very cleanly, but at the expense of power and performance. The same ingredients used to improve emissions and control corrosion have some negative effects; less combustibility, decreased fuel economy and shorter shelf life. These effects are worse in ethanol blended fuels.

Star Tron® Solution: Star Tron’s enzyme formula helps to break apart large clusters of fuel molecules, creating more surface area. This allows additional oxygen to react during combustion, which results in a more complete burn of the fuel, improved fuel economy, engine power, throttle response and reduced toxic emissions. Star Tron helps remove carbon deposits, keeping your engine clean and operating at peak performance.
