Fuel Contamination

Generally, fuel contamination occurs as the result of improper fuel handling. The most common types of contamination are water, dirt, and microbial growth "black slime". The formation of varnishes and gums resulting from poor stability or extended storage "stale fuel" also affects fuel quality. The best treatment for contamination is prevention by maintaining a clean storage system and choosing a reputable fuel supplier.

Supplemental additives are not recommended due to potential injector system or engine damage. Our experience has been that such additives increase operating costs without providing benefit.

The use of supplemental fuel additives does not necessarily void the engine warranty. However, repair expenses which result from fuel system or engine component malfunctions or damage attributed to their use will not be covered.
