About Fuel Right
Fuel Right sludge-control products (EP, 6000, 7500, Summer Diesel, WinterDiesel) inhibit the formation of sludge in clean systems and slowly breakdown existing sludge in fouled systems. The things released in this processpass harmlessly through the system and burn as fuel. If there is freecondensed water in a system, Fuel Right treats it with a fuel antifreeze,protecting against fuel system freeze-ups in the winter months. Mostimportantly, Fuel Right coats steel surfaces in your system, protectingthem against corrosion from the combined effects of moisture andcontamination.
Laboratory tests have shown that Fuel Right is uniquely effective inprotecting fuel systems against the ravages of fuel contamination.
