Fuel Conditioner

Florida-based Fuel-Tek has developed a new fuel conditioner specially designed for the marine market - Fuel-Tek Marine

CAL-5 - a multifunctional additive package. The product addresses every fuel storage and handling problem encountered within the maritime indus- try. Cal-5 is a fuel stabilizer that con- tains surfactants, non-ionic dispersants and organic combustion catalysts cou- pled with proprietary FAB-20 technolo- gy. This conglomeration offers an envi- ronment that is unsuitable for the forma- tion and growth of fungi, algae and bac- teria. Cal-5 also eliminates soot in the exhaust stream, lubricates the fuel sys- tem, extends filter life and disperses water. A 16-ounce bottle will treat 640 gallons and a one-gallon container will treat 5,000 gallons.
