DEALING WITH ETHANOL-BASED FUEL PROBLEMS

DEALING WITH ETHANOL-BASED FUEL PROBLEMS


Star Tron CURES Ethanol-Related Fuel Problems Plaguing Small EnginesWith the arrival of spring, many ATV, UTV and dirt bike owners are experiencing problems with their machines. But in most cases the problem is the fuel, not the equipment. The spread of E10 fuel, a blend of 10% Ethanol and 90% gasoline, has led to rough-running, hard-to-start engines. The good news is that the cure is as simple as adding Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment to the fuel.

The 4 main problems caused by Ethanol / E10 fuel:

1. DEBRIS IN FUEL. Ethanol is a powerful solvent that strips away any gums, varnish, or other build up found in fuel tanks and fuel delivery systems. This debris drops into the fuel and leads to clogged filters, injectors and carburetors.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Tron’s enzymes break debris into sub-micron sized particles that are safely burned away while the engine operates.

2. EXCESSIVE WATER IN WATER. Ethanol attracts moisture from the atmosphere that causes engines to run rough or stall. It can even cause internal damage and corrosion to engine components. Because the mixture of water and ethanol is heavier than gasoline, it can drop to the bottom of the tank, resulting in phase separation. Ethanol also provides a significant amount of the fuel’s octane. When the mix of water and ethanol drops to the bottom of the tank, the remaining gasoline is left without enough octane to properly operate the engine. Another water-related problem is that, because the ethanol/water mixture is only partially combustible, it can lead to severe engine problems.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Tron’s enzymes prevent water and ethanol molecules from chemically bonding. The ethanol molecules remain mixed with the fuel, preserving the fuel’s octane rating while preventing phase separation. The water is broken down to sub-micron size so it can be safely burned away while the engine is operating. By removing the water, corrosion problems are also prevented.

3. ETHANOL FUEL BREAKS DOWN QUICKLY. Ethanol and gasoline do not chemically bond. As a result, the E10 fuel begins to break down very quickly. The fuel begins forming solids that clog the fuel delivery system and reduce octane ratings.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Tron® is a powerful fuel stabilizer that keeps fuel fresh for up to 1 year. Star Tron® will also rejuvenate old fuel, restoring it to serviceable condition.

4. LOST POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY. Ethanol does not produce as much energy as gasoline. E10 fuel has about 20% less power than 100% gasoline. This translates into decreased performance, reduced throttle response and greatly reduced fuel economy.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Tron’s enzymes allow more oxygen to attach to the fuel molecules at the time of combustion, resulting in a more complete burn of the fuel. This leads to greatly improved fuel economy, restored power and better throttle response. The enzymes remove existing carbon deposits and prevent future deposits.

Star Tron® is the ONLY multifunctional fuel additive that addresses all Ethanol Issues. For 6 years now, Star Tron® has been solving ethanol problems for boaters across the US. Now it will do the same job for ATVs, UTV and motorcycles. Star Tron® works in all 2 and 4-cycle engines under all conditions. In addition to improving performance when using E10 fuel, it will also stabilize fuel for 1 year, making it the only all-season, all-purpose additive you need.For more information, high-resolution images or to arrange for product samples, please contact Bill Lindsey, Vice President of Marketing at (800) 327-8583 or via e-mail at blindsey@starbrite.com To see the entire line of Star brite and Star Tron products, visit www.starbrite.com and www.startron.com
