Literature Available On FIRE-PREP® 2012 From Nalco Chemical

The Transportation Chemicals Group of Nalco Chemical Company, Oak Brook, 111., has announced their new diesel fuel additive, FIREPREP 2012. It is designed to control bacteria and fungi in marine diesel fuel storage tanks and also helps disperse existing sludge and controls formation of new sludge in the storage tank. The liquid product is added to the fuel as it is unloaded from tank car or truck into the diesel storage tank.

Control of microbial activity and sludge in the storage tank helps reduce filter plugging in fuel handling systems, thus preventing stalling, poor acceleration and other diesel engine operating difficulties. It also helps reduce injector sticking, clogging of injector nozzles and fuel line plugging.

An ingredient in FIRE-PREP 2012 helps ensure more complete combustion of the diesel fuel, reducing sparking and smoking. It helps minimize deposits in the combustion chamber, on valves, pistons, rings and in exhaust manifold. A corrosion inhibitor in the product helps to protect system components from chemical attack, prolongs life and reduces maintenance. FIREPREP 2012 is available in l-gallon containers, 5-gallon pails and 55- gallon drums.
