The resin reacts and hardens to form a reinforced dense solid The Unique Particle Dissolving particle cluster inside the breach. Technology Dissolves The Remaining Particles. This type aggregated matrix makes an effective sealant that has a history of being able to last for years. The remaining particles that are still floating in the cooling system after the leak has been fixed eventually dissolve away. Thirty minutes of engine operation is all it takes to fix a leak. Here is how that happens: The dissimilar metal particles that make up the Liquid Intelligence 243 constituents have different electrode poten- tials… and when two or more of the particles come into prox- imity with each other in an electrolyte (coolant) they generate an electrochemical cell. One metal acts as anode and the other as cathode, and the resulting reaction dissolves the particles with the lower nobility over a couple of weeks, eventually leaving very little of the original 243 dose. This is why Liquid Intelligence 243 will not block heater matrix- es, radiator flutes or coolant channels. 87

Liquid Intelligence 203 VVolumee 11 Liquid Intelligence 203 Cold Flow Diesel Improver Additive Diesel Fuel is Prone to Developing Small Hard Crystals of Wax at 0°C or Blow Liquid Intelligence 203 Inhibits Wax Crystal Growth and Prevents Fuel Filters from Clogging Up The Cold Filter Plugging Point or (CFPP) of diesel fuel is based on a standardized test that indicates the rate at which diesel fuel will flow through a standardized filtration device in a specified length of time when cooled under certain conditions. Liquid Intelligence 203 Cold Flow Improver Additive will allow diesel engines to continue to operate in cold weather conditions. The Liquid Intelligence 203 additive will not prevent the diesel from devel- oping microfine wax particles but it will prevent them from collecting together to form larger wax flakes that can clog up the fuel filter. Liquid Intelligence 203 inhibits and modifies wax crystal growth, offering effective cold flow management for diesel fuels. Best results for reducing cold filter plugging are achieved when Liquid Intelligence 203 is used at the following treat rates. Diesel fuel is prone to waxing or gelling in cold Typical Test Results weather; both are terms for the solidification of die- Diesel + Liquid Intelligence 203 1:1000 -24°C sel oil into a partially crystalline state.

Free water develops from the condensation and settle in the bottom of the reservoir tank. The microorganisms develop at the interface of the oil (it’s source of food and warmth) and the water (it’s oxygen).

Any aging hydraulic system can become the per- fect environment for bacteria, yeast and fungus to propagate. Because hydraulic oil reservoirs have all the ele- ments required to develop a bacterial growth. The hydraulic oil supplies the microorganisms with food (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous). Emulsified water and free bottom water in the tank supply them with oxygen. And the dark warm (24°C to 50°C) low flow areas of a reservoir tank are perfect growing environments for microorganisms to flourish.

Liquid Intelligence 201 Volume 1 “DIESEL BUG” Here’s What Vehicle, Vessel & Equipment Owners Need To Know There is no end of information available about these diesel bugs. Yet with all this information readily available there are still millions of litres of diesel stored in tanks around Australia for long periods of time, but only a fraction is ever treated with a protective dose of diesel biocide. A s diesel fuel ages, it becomes susceptible to diesel One explanation for this could be that few vehicle, vessel or bug infections, as it’s an ideal environment for equipment owners understand how expensive and time consuming the germination of some bacteria, yeast and fungi a fully developed diesel bug can be to eradicate.

Liquid Intelligence 201 Diesel Fuel Bacteria & Fungi Biocide T he price for the Liquid Intelligence 201 Diesel Fuel Bacteria & Fungi Biocide may seem expensive when com- pared to retail brands of diesel biocide. But most retail brands either contain a few percent of active biocides or are formulated from cheap formaldehyde-based bio- cides. Formaldehyde is only miscible in water, thus its only effective on microbial infections that grow in the water phase at the bottom of a diesel tank (the condensation build up at the bottom of the tank). And is totally immiscible in diesel, thus ineffective at eradicating microbial infections living in the fuel itself.

Diesel bug contamination often starts small and unseen in the bottom of bulk storage tanks. Early detection and treatment prevents costly equipment down time from clogged fuel filters and engine stoppages. This kit tests for bacteria, yeast and fungi in stored diesel fuel BEFORE it has a chance to fully develop, giving you time to treat and clean the fuel, preventing expensive repairs to vehicles and equipment.
