Home-heating
oil is similar
to #2 diesel
fuel but
is slightly
less refined
and lacks
certain additives
used to improve
diesel engine
operations.
 |
All
petroleum
fuels deteriorate
over time,
so when the
furnace is
off the fuel
goes bad.
Diesel is
now less
than a 90-day
fuel - it
will still
burn, but
will produce
less BTU's.
|
As
the fuel
deteriorates
sludge and
varnish build
up in the
bottom of
the tank
which, over
time, can
block the
fuel line
completely.
|
If
the tank
is outside,
daily and
seasonal
temperature
changes will
cause condensation,
which will
form water
that settles
to the bottom
of the tank
and may eventually
get into
the supply
line - and
the fuel
line may
freeze in
the winter.
|
Water
and sulfur
in the fuel
form a weak
acid that
will eventually
cause the
tank to rust
from the
inside.
|
| Home-heating
fuel is
a friendly
environment
for microbe
growth,
which can
block the
whole fuel
supply line.
These microbes
grow especially
well when
there is
any water
present
to aid respiration. |
K100-D
or K100-MD
(for Storage):
1 Quart
Treats
250 Gallons
to:
|
|
- 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
