What
Are K100 Treatments?
K100
Treatments
are
propietary
formulations
of
complex
organic
compounds
developed
primarily
to
eliminate
moisture
contamination
in
fuels,
with
additives
to
improve
the
cleaning
effect
and
cold
temperature
operation,
increase
lubricity
and
shelf-life
of
the
fuel,
and
modify
the
fuel
itself
to
increase
atomization
and
improve
the
fuel/energy
conversion
process.
Alcohol
is
Like
Cholesterol?
|
The
term "alcohol" refers
to
a
whole
family
of
chemicals
that
include
an
Oxygen-Hydrogen
compound
connected
to
a
central
Hydrogen-Carbon
chain.
There
are
hundreds
of
different
alcohols
in
this
family
which
may
do
good
things
in
certain
situations and
bad
things
in
another.
A
comparison
is "good" cholesterol
and "bad" cholesterol.
 |
In
the
past
the "use
no
alcohol" warning
has
referred
to
certain "bad" alcohols
that
were
added
to
gasoline
to
try
to
mitigate
the
effect
of
moisture
contained
in
the
fuel
system. "Bad" alcohols combine with
water
to
form
a
diluted
mizture.
Over
time
the "bad" alcohol
will
vaporize,
leaving
behind
all
of
the
original
water.
|
| Additionally,
certain
of
the "bad" alcohols
will dry
out many
rubber
fuel
system
components.
In
2-cycle
and
diesel
engines,
which
rely
on
the
lubricity
of
the
fuel,
the
use
of
certain "bad" alcohols
will
dilute
the
lubricant
and
reduce
its
friction-fighting
capacity.
These "bad"alcohols
have
been
acting
like "bad" cholesterol. |
So
What's In K100?
|
In
a
strict
sense
K100
does
contain an alcohol.
The
alcohol
compound
used
in
the
formulation
of
K100
was
specifically
chosen
to
eliminate
water
contamination
in
fuels,
acting
like "good" cholesterol.
K100,
with
its "good" alcohol, eliminates water
and does
not break
down
rubber
in
fuel-line
hoses,
o-rings
and
other
fuel
system
components.
|
What
else
is
in
K100
Treatments?
The
greatest
single
component
is
known
variously
as
Butyl
Oxitol,
Butyl
Cellosolve,
Ethylene
Glycol,
Monobutyl
Ether
or
2-Butoxyethanol.
The
additional
raw
materials
and
the
processing
of
them
creates
a formulation
that
breaks
the
weak
hydrogen
bond
between
water
droplets
and
then
uses
that
valence
to
permanently
bond
a
combustible
shell
to
the
individual
water
molecules.
Certain
other
compounds
were
incorporated
to
improve
the cleaning
effect
and
cold-temperature
operation,
increase
lubricity
and
shelf-life
of
the
fuel,
and
modify
the
fuel
itself
to
increase
atomization
and
improve
the
fuel/energy
conversion
process.
- Stabilize
fuel
and
keep
it
fresh
|
- Dissolve
old
sludge
and
varnish
deposits
to
keep
the
system
clean
|
- Encapsulate
any
water
in
the
system
so
there
is
no
free
water
to
support
microbe
growth,
rust
and
corrosion
or
winter
freezing
|
- Clean
the
burner
tip
to
allow
a
better
spray
pattern,
giving
a
more
complete
burn
and
better
furnace
efficiency.
|
- Clean
the
heat
exchanger
plates,
giving
better
heat
transfer
so
the
furnace
works
more
efficiently
