Quick Guide to Problem Solving: PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSES WE SUGGEST: Noisy injector rattle from your Diesel engine? Poor economy & performance? Fine tolerances, high pressure and high temperatures of CRD fuel systems can break down the diesel. Deposits form and injector lubrication suffers, causing injector hesitation, over-fuelling and detonation rattles. CRD Fuel Enhancer works quickly, dispersing deposits and boosting lubrication to the pump and injectors to restore precise operation. Ongoing use keeps the problem at bay! Rough idle? Hard starting? Poor acceleration? Diesel smoke? Fuel system deposits cause rough idle, poor acceleration, smoke and bad fuel economy in petrol and diesel engines. Cleanpower quickly and safely dissolves and disperses fuel system deposits to restore a sweet idle and crisp, instant acceleration. Ongoing use prevents the re-occurrence. Black smoke? Power loss? Fouled EGR valves? Clogged diesel particulate filters? Carbon build up in diesel combustion chambers, turbos, DPFs and EGRs might be due to excessive city driving, light work, excess idling or other factors. Doesn’t matter! They’re signs of poor fuel combustion. FTC Decarbonizer burns fuel cleaner producing less soot, and actively burns off existing carbon to keep it at bay. Power loss? Smoke? Oil use? Blowby? Sticking piston rings? Sludge and carbon deposits in petrol and diesel engines occurs with time, but also when not running right or poor servicing. Operation and performance deteriorates. Flushing Oil Concentrate restores pristine cleanliness to all oil wetted parts. You’ll always have a clean engine for the fresh oil change. Notchy or difficult gear changes? Some gear shifts are just not that smooth! It’s a lubrication thing! The recommended grade of oil may be perfect for gears and bearings, but not quite right for the shifting mechanism. AW10 Antiwear boost the oil’s lubrication power. Shifting becomes smoother and easier. 4 6 8 12 14 Find out more at costeffective.com.au
Common Rail Diesel injectors and fuel pumps are more susceptible to damage than earlier diesels. They require diesel of much higher quality and cleanliness, and will not tolerate even small amounts of water contamination. They operate at extremely high temperatures and pressures (up to 45,000 psi). These conditions can degrade the diesel fuel, and leave fouling deposits that cause havoc with the exceptionally fine tolerances within injectors and pumps. The higher temperatures also reduce the fuel’s ability to lubricate critical fuel injection parts. CRD Fuel Enhancer cleans deposits, boosts lubrication and protects against water damage.

CEM’S PROJECT CAR: “After sitting in a farm paddock for over five years, Jimmy and I were amazed at how well the Cleanpower worked in this old Series III Land Rover. We dumped the old stale fuel, filled the tank with the recommended dose of Cleanpower and after a few goes, she fired up and didn’t miss a beat!” Find out more at costeffective.com.au My 93 GQ Patrol TD 4.2 has just done a full mechanical rebuild over the last 12 months. The motor was fully rebuilt to turbo specs and fitted with a Mitsubishi TD05 Turbo. The fuel system was cleaned and ran great until 10,000 kms. There was a fair bit of dirty diesel happening in our district. The motor on starting reminded me of the lister auxilary I had in my boat idling rough until warmed up. Within one tank of using Cleanpower it is starting straight up, idles smooth, increased power twofold and down to 10.3L/100 km cruising at 110 km/hr... This product is worth more than its weight in gold. – Rodd, Qld Impressive stuff. Noticeable power improvement after 1/4 of a tank, and no longer choofing black smoke out of every corner. Has probably almost paid for itself in saved diesel already – Sean Pluckett My ute had a rough idle and was blowing smoke on startup after 1 dose of this product it has no rough idle and has stopped blowing smoke. – Ron Butlin

“This Ski Centurian V8 had two cylinders with low compression (both 80 psi), so we used Flushing Oil Concentrate to remove sludge and free up sticking piston rings. We then changed the oil and filter. Wow! All cylinders now on 160 psi! The engine oil is now nice and clean, so it can do its job properly. Needless to say, the owner is rapt that we didn’t have to pull the engine down.” – In 2 Inboards, QLD Find out more at costeffective.com.au Cannot recommend this product highly enough! Even after using a name brand product to flush the engine bays (which still left me with black oil after new oil and filter on initial start up) prior to utilising Flushing Oil Concentrate, this product removed more carbon build up and the oil is still clean after two weeks of daily use. Top job CEM team! – Brent Campbell Almost unbelievable. TD42 200,000km. Purchased wagon and did oil change & filters straight away. Oil went black almost immediately. Drove for 3 months then come across this product. Changed oil and added the 125ml for 10L of oil. Run for 30mins at operating temp and dropped oil. Also tipped another 2.5L of oil to flush sump. Oil that come out was super black. Changed filters and added new oil. Dipstick is still clean after 500km as per photos. Extremely happy, have now ordered some FTC Diesel Decarbonizer, looking forward to seeing how that goes. – S. Ede, NZ I can’t believe an additive can be so effective.

“This stuff is the greatest! It has to be the slipperiest thing this side of a banana peel on a boat ramp. Bugger me! Old Milo (Landcruiser Troopcarrier) is shifting gears a lot sweeter since that injection of AW10. I felt the slicker change almost immediately. But the ultimate test was chucking a capful in the two-stroke fuel in Mungo’s ancient 25HP Mercury outboard. The bloody thing ran smoother and rattled less almost straight away.” – The famous ‘Roothy’, Australian 4WD action Did you know that up to 25% of the horsepower an engine produces is lost because of internal friction? This means that a 225HP engine actually develops 300HP in the combustion chambers, but loses 75HP before it reaches the flywheel. Approximately half of this horsepower is then lost between the piston rings and cylinder walls. AW10 Antiwear is the modern, powerful way to reduce engine friction and increase usable horsepower. It increases the load carrying ability of the oil dramatically without increasing its viscosity to reduce frictional losses. Dynamometer testing has demonstrated a 13% power increase in a diesel Navara, and 6% increase in a V6 Commodore. It is also highly effective in 2 stroke oils.

Engine Blowby is a serious problem! It doesn’t go away on its own, and will only get worse if left untreated. As many truck drivers know, accelerated engine wear leads to a costly engine rebuild or even engine failure. Engine Blowby problems or Cylinder “Blow-by” results in excessive crankcase pressure, and is a common problem encountered by most truckies at some stage in their career. Concern is certainly justified, as it typically means an expensive engine rebuild is necessary, and this is usually recommended by mechanics and dealers. Fortunately, Engine Blowby can be reduced, and expensive engine rebuilds avoided. Engine wear is not the most common cause of blowby. Piston ring deposits that cause fouling in the ring groove, along with cylinder glaze account for approximately 80% of blowby issues. As founder, Brid Walker explains, “Blowby… When you’re faced with a possible rebuild, you need to ensure that your money is well spent! Our advice is always to get everything clean first. Then you know where you’re at!” By using our Flushing Oil Concentrate and FTC Decarbonizer together, hard baked on carbon is dissolved, dispersed and removed from all lubricated parts, as well as combustion and exhaust spaces. Cylinder glaze is safely burnt off and blowby is reduced.

Find out more at costeffective.com.au Fitted with a Cummins 444, we used our T650 Kenworth daily on a contract with a Mt Isa mine site. The truck lost power and started smoking so badly, that it was black banned from site. The local Cummins dealer told me that there was way too much blow by, and it would need rebuilding. Instead, I tried FTC Decarbonizer and Flushing Oil Concentrate. I was absolutely amazed at how much rubbish came out on the flush. After the treatments, the Kenworth went back to work, for the remaining 18 months of the contract… with no smoke and no oil usage!! Two years later, and the Kenworth still showed no signs of deterioration. We’ve saved a rebuild, didn’t lose any downtime, and kept our client happy. – Hugh Maslin, Maslin Bros Pty Ltd I was reading Big Rigs at work one night when I came across the Advert that stated ‘Save $24,000 on Detroit 60 Engine rebuild.’ Owning a Detroit 60 with 1.8 million kms which was also lacking in power and fuming, I decided to give it a go. I spoke to Jimmy from CEM. He was very helpful and told me the procedure for using the product. I rang him several times with queries and he was most obliging. After applying the product I was in awe at the performance I was receiving from the truck after a few hours of working. It was running smoother, cooler, not using oil, and overall the performance is truly unbelievable. I thought I was due to get a rebuild however after now using your product I don’t need to proceed down this road. I would highly recommend this product to ANY one for improvement in the performance of any truck. – Richo, NSW SPOTTING BLOWBY IS EASY This Cummins came in with excessive blowby, one look at the fumes coming from the breather confirmed the Blowby problem.
