Navigating the open waters requires more than just a sturdy vessel and a skilled crew; it demands a reliable engine that performs under pressure. However, the fuel that powers your journey can often be its greatest hidden weakness. At Clearwinner Innovation Ltd, we specialise in high performance marine diesel fuel additives designed to protect your investment and ensure peak efficiency.
What is a Marine Diesel Fuel Additive?
A marine diesel fuel additive is a concentrated chemical solution added to your fuel tank to enhance the fuel properties and protect the engine. Marine environments are uniquely harsh. Moisture from sea spray and condensation often leads to water contamination in fuel tanks. This moisture, combined with modern low sulphur fuels and bio components, creates a breeding ground for diesel bug (microbial growth) and leads to poor lubrication, corrosion, and injector fouling.
Our additives act as a preventative health plan for your vessel, tackling these issues before they turn into costly repairs.
Why Choose Clearwinner Innovation?
At Clearwinner Innovation, we do not believe in a one size fits all approach. We have engineered a specific range of products to target the most common challenges faced by boat owners and fleet managers:
Clearwinner 31A WD Marine
Stability for the Off Season: Our Clearwinner 31A WD Marine is perfect for winter storage. It stabilises fuel, slows degradation, and prevents separation, ensuring your engine starts smoothly after months of being moored.
Clearwinner Purify
Combatting Diesel Bug: The Clearwinner Purify and D BUG range use advanced biostatic and scavenger technology to eliminate microbial growth and remove the impurities linked to water ingress.
Clearwinner CFI (Cold Flow Improver)
Cold Weather Protection: For those operating in sub zero temperatures, Clearwinner CFI (Cold Flow Improver) prevents fuel from waxing, allowing your vessel to operate reliably down to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The Benefits: More Than Just a Clean Engine
By integrating Clearwinner additives into your maintenance routine, you are not just cleaning your fuel; you are:
Reducing Emissions: Cleaner combustion means less smoke and a smaller environmental footprint.
Saving Money: Improved fuel atomisation leads to better MPG and fewer unplanned maintenance visits.
Peace of Mind: Knowing your fuel is stable and your filters will not block mid voyage allows you to focus on the water ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should I use a diesel fuel additive?
For the best results, we recommend using our additives as part of a preventative maintenance programme. This usually means dosing your tank during every refill or specifically before long term storage, such as winterising your boat.
Will the additive damage my engine or fuel filters?
Quite the opposite. Our additives are designed to prevent filter blockages caused by sludge and microbial growth. They are non corrosive to both ferrous and non ferrous materials found in marine engines.
What is Diesel Bug and how do I know if I have it?
Diesel bug is a collective term for bacteria, yeast, and mould that live on the interface between fuel and water. Signs of an infestation include black slime in your filters, a sudden loss of engine power, or increased smoking.
