To really do a good job of private fuel saving, we have to optimize the yacht components from the following aspects.
1. Filter The most famous fuel filter for recreational watercraft comes from Racor, a Parker Hannafin company.
Racor complete types of company’s production of spin pack filters, with a dirt collection bowl and drain valve, suitable for gasoline and diesel engines, the two-way Turbine series products for fuel filter for water separation of high moisture content, because the user can make use of lever, in the process of engine operation to complete the new filter replacement,
Reduce the inconvenience caused by shutdown and filter replacement at sea.
2. Additive manufacturers are numerous, and their products are as dazzling as painkillers, but some of the products that satisfy the needs of recreational boaters are at the forefront of fuel-boosting technology.
Starbrite, a manufacturer of storage stabilizers that can be used in automotive and boat fuels, as well as other maintenance products, recently launched StarTron, an enzyme-based additive that can be used in gasoline or diesel, solving many of the fuel-related problems.
“At the end of the active boating season, we typically get 50 to 60 calls a day from boat owners in the Northeast and Midwest complaining about stickiness like gum clogging their oil/water separators,” says Jeff Tegel, vice president of Starbrite.
The fuel begins to gelatinize due to the alcohol.
Alcohol refers to the enhanced alcohol in fuel oil, which acts as a kind of binder between hydrocarbons and water.
When you experience the effects of early or late seasonal temperature changes on the tank, the stored fuel is gelatinized over time.”
3, separator even pure diesel in the sale process will also contain 5% moisture.
Gasoline may contain 1-2% water, but alcohol can be 7-8% water.
No matter what kind of fuel tank is used for fuel storage, there will be a moisture problem, which is the source of fuel flooding. For this reason, water separators have become the main cleaning tool for diesel engines, Tegel explains.
“The role of the enzyme in StarTron’s additive is to unbind the fuel molecules so that they can be more easily bound by oxygen during the combustion process, so that the combustion becomes more complete.
Enzymes are biocatalysts, so they’re not consumed in the chemical reaction, but they increase the efficiency of the reaction and actually increase fuel economy, reduce emissions, and reduce pollution levels by 90 percent.”
4, cleaner, more and more phenomenon indicates that the yacht owners began to turn cleaning equipment as the optimization of fuel step, clean off the moisture in the fuel, and sediment for diesel power yachts, fuel oil cleaning equipment manufacturers ReversoPumps company President John soprano said: “if the filter is blocked, it will bring the steam resistance phenomenon.
If the filter is bad, or blocked too much, the vacuum pressure forces the fuel into the engine and turns it into a bubbling liquid, which can cause as much damage as water entering the engine.
