DID YOU KNOW 80% OF ENGINE REPAIRS START WITH BAD FUEL!

TEST, FIX & PREVENT THE COMPLETE FUEL SOLUTION! www.b3cfuel.co.uk www.b3cfuel.co.uk

THE PROBLEMS WITH MODERN FUEL Have you noticed when you have went to the petrol station latterly that the fuel pumps all have a number such as E90 or E95 ? This means that the petrol you are purchasing is a mixture of ethanol and petrol when it comes out of the pump. It may sound totally harmless however Ethanol can have a devastating effect on the performance and the reliability of your engine!

Ethanol is best described as a hydroscopic substance this means it attracts water naturally and as you will likely know water and engines don’t mix well. This property of ethanol is not best suited to being used in fuel however because Ethanol also has similar properties to petrol it has been approved by Government agencies in an attempt to reduce the amount of fossil fuels and carbon foot print using engines is having on the environment.

Not only do Ethanol blended fuels lead problem related to water they are also extremely harmful to vital rubber and plastic components in modern engines. For example all fuel pipes and seals on modern engines are produced using rubber however these parts have a moisture content to help enable them to be flexible and adapt to the shape of the components in use. However the ethanol in the fuel when around the rubber components draws the moisture (water) out of the rubber components causing them to pre-maturely crack and become brittle. This can cause failure of your engine and unexpected down time waiting for a repair to be carried out.

PHASE SEPARATION The most common phrase you may hear in relation to fuel problems is ‘Phase Separation’ this is best thought of as the phrase to describe when water and fuel do not mix at all.

Effectively you end up with a layer of water at the bottom of a fuel tank with your fuel lying on top of the layer of water. The problem you now face is that 99% of engines have the fuel pick up at the bottom of the tank where the layer of water is located; it is this design which multiplies the effect of phase separation as the water content in the fuel is taken in a greater proportion in to the engines internal components.

PETROL TEST SWABS “Quickly identify bad fuel and help stop costly repairs�

PROBLEM Modern day petrol contains ethanol, this mix is organic and therefore decomposes. Petrol powered equipment not treated with an ethanol fuel stabiliser will become hard to start within 30 days, and the petrol begins to decay in as little as 60 days. The ethanol attracts water, (present in the air in your fuel tank and strorage can, etc), they bond to form a highly corrosive mixture which can have a devastating effect on your engine.

B3C SOLUTION Simple and quick to use - The B3C test swabs change colour depending on the condition of the petrol. ln just a few minutes you can visually determine if your fuel is fit for purpose, saving you unnecessary repair bills caused by bad fuel.

MECHANIC IN A BOTTLE “In as little as 15 minutes MIB can start working revitalising poor running engines or even non-starting engines.�

PROBLEM As fuel decays it can leave deposits in the engine; causing it to run poorly, or in some cases; not at all. If your engine has been run with stale fuel it can cause excess carbon deposits to build up in the cylinder and also blockages within the carburettor. Another one of the side effects of modern ethanol blended fuel is that it can also cause damage to essential rubber components such as fuel lines, grommets, diaphragms, etc. causing them to perish.

B3C SOLUTION Suitable for both 2 and 4-Stroke engines, Mechanic In A Bottle removes the varnish that can build up within the fuel system without the need to remove the carburettor, breaking down carbon deposits and revitalising rubber components. With a poor running engine, just adding 8ml (2 Caps) per 1 Litre of fuel and running your engine for 15 minutes can start to repair damage caused by bad fuel. For non-running engines, simply prime neat Mechanic In A Bottle through the fuel system, then leave it to work its magic.

ETHANOL SHIELD “Protect your engine and ensure its optimum performace for as little as 3p per litre�

PROBLEM Currently in the UK petrol can contain between 5 - 10% ethanol. High amounts of oxygen in ethanol blended fuels cause the petrol to decay faster. Petrol powered equipment not treated with an ethanol fuel stabiliser will become hard to start within 30 days, and the petrol to begin to decay in as little as 60 days. The ethanol attracts water, (present in the air in your fuel tank and strorage can, etc), they bond to form a highly corrosive mixture which can have devastating effects on your engine.

B3C SOLUTION By simply adding just 8ml (2 Caps) of Ethanol Shield per 5 Litres of fuel *, you can prevent the negative effects of ethanol on your engine. Suitable for both 2 and 4-Stroke aplications, Ethanol Shield is specially formulated to encapsulate bound water allowing it to pass harmlessly through your engine, whilst also conditioning rubber and plastics, promoting easy starting, stabilising fuel for 1yr+, and lowering engine temperatures.

Note: Not a replacement for 2-Stroke Oil

Ethanol Shield - 118ml treats up to 150 Litres of petrol** Ethanol Shield - 236ml treats up to 300 Litres of petrol**

ETHANOL SHIELD 2-STROKE OIL “The ultimate solution for the protection and optimum performance of 2-Stroke engines” PROBLEM In the UK petrol can contain up to 10% ethanol. Ethanol and 2-Stroke oil don’t naturally bond, and as you’re likely aware, oil and water don’t mix at all. Unfortunately both water and ethanol can be found in modern day petrol. This can result in up to 10% of your fuel not containing the 2-Stroke oil needed to provide your engine with the essential lubrication it needs.

B3C SOLUTION The 2-In-1 formula of Ethanol Shield 2-Stroke Oil offers the ultimate in engine protection.

Where standard 2-Stroke Oils fail, Ethanol Shield 2-Stroke Oil is the “bridge” that bonds petrol, ethanol and water. Specifically developed to overcome issues seen with standard 2-Stroke oils, such as petrol and the oil not bonding entirely and the removal of harmful water deposits.

- Triple Antioxidants - Protects Against Ring Wear - Reduces Lacquer / Varnish - Reduces Engine Temperature - Low Smoke Formula - Meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD & FD Certification

GAS TANK SHIELD “No measuring, no mess, just protection” PROBLEM For most people it is unlikely you will use a full can of petrol in one go, often resulting in the remaining petrol being stored for an extended period until required. The problem with storing petrol is that it starts to breakdown and decay in as little as 60 days, resulting at best; poor running, at worst; damage to your engine, which in turn can lead downtime for your machinery and the possibility of a costly repair that could have been prevented.

B3C SOLUTION Due to the advances in B3C’s Fuel Life Technology protecting your engine against the damaging effects of ethanol blended fuel couldn’t be simplier. Simply insert into your fuel can and Gas Tank Shield will keep your stored fuel stabilised and water free for up to 10 uses, or 1 Year, (which ever comes first). Gas Tank Shield is suitable for use with both neat and mixed petrol.

For the ultimate in protection; use in conjunction with Ethanol Shield.

DIESEL TEST SWABS “The worlds first 4 in 1 Diesel Test�

PROBLEM The diesel you buy at the pump will most most likely be a bio-diesel, containing anything up to 7% bio-fuel. Bio-fuels are hygroscopic, they absorb water from the atmosphere, which encourages growth of microbes in the fuel. These can double in number every 20 minutes in the right conditions! These microbes play a major part in creating costly filter blockages and mechanical breakdowns.

B3C SOLUTION The B3C Diesel Test Swab provides a visual guide; changing colour depending on the condition of the fuel. In just a few minutes you can quickly determine if your fuel is fit for purpose. To achieve the most accurate results; the swab should be brushed against the bottom of the tank. To assist with this, each test swab pack is supplied with an extendable probe.

DIESEL

DIESEL TANK SNAKE “The most effective way to remove water from diesel and help prevent costly repairs.”

PROBLEM Diesel is often stored in large tanks. Through condensation, leaks, and hygroscopic absorption, water natually occurs in the bottom, this in turn forms an ideal breeding ground for the microbes that are a major cause of blocked filters, reduced engine performance, downed machine time, and costly repairs.

B3C SOLUTION Easy to use - Just insert a Diesel Tank Snake into your diesel tank and it wil begin to absorb any water present in the fuel.

Easy to maintain - Once staturated carefully remove it from the tank and hang it up and allow it to dry back out. It can be reused in this way up to 10 times!

Diesel Tank Snakes also contain a powerful Neodymium Magnet. This magnet attracts free floating metal particles, helping to prevent them entering your engine fuel system and causing damage to your engine.
