“Red Line's RL2 fuel additive at work...Since late 1999 we were experiencing extreme wear related problems, and seizures, with fuel pumps attributed partly to the reduction of sulphur in diesel fuels. We were seeing about 3 pumps per month and on average the repair was $2,000-$2,500 each plus the downtime of the machine. The units that were failing were a rotary Stanadyne pump fired to Perkins engines and used in an underground mining application. Some components were coming out blue from excessive heat transfer caused by insufficient lubrication in the fuel.
These injector pumps were seizing head and rotor assemblies or having hard starting complaints due to component failures or excessive wear. The pumps were only lasting approx. 300- 500 hours which previouly would see @5,000-10,000 hrs and more.
We approached the mine with Red Line RL2 as a proposal to solve this, and Red Line were the only company to supply us with a US EPA registration certificate for compliance purposes. Only diesel fuel additives which have been registered with the United States EPA may be used.
Since treating the mine's 100,000 litre storage tanks with RL2 we have not seen one failure in eight months. We inspected one particular unit at about 500hrs and there was still some evidence of heat transfer occurring on rollers so we advised increasing the dosage 5% above initial rates. The results can only speak for themselves.”
