George Morrison was kind enough to send me this. If you want to know about fuel treatment this has lots of good info (long):
PowerMaster 405 Diesel Fuel treatment
Power-Master Premium Diesel Fuel Additive
Description:
Power-Master™ is a concentrated cetane improver which will tremendously upgrade power and performance in all diesel equipment, increasing fuel and maintenance economy. Stability of fuels will be greatly increased and diesel engines will be kept in a much cleaner, more maintenance-free condition.
Fuel Situation:
In recent years, with the upswing of more worldwide crude oil funneling into our markets, fuel quality has decreased because the quantity of refractive, or "difficult-to-burn", molecules in our fuel has increased due to higher aromatic content in the crude. Current refining methods use a catalytic cracking process by which valuable fuels can still be produced from heavier, less desirable fractions of the crude - in other words, going "deeper into the barrel". This is accomplished by actually cracking a large molecule into smaller molecules at high temperatures. Similar to thermal cracking, which occurs in the deterioration of a lubricant, "cat cracking" thus produces a less desirable fuel with more refractive molecules which resist burning, as opposed to older fuels containing very few refractive molecules (fuel from crude sometimes referred to as "sweet crude"). This, coupled with the high demand for straight-run or "uncracked" jet fuel, leaves today’s diesel equipment operators faced with the problem of running their equipment with fuels of increasingly poorer ignition quality, or in other words, lower cetane.
