PowerPill FE3
Product Information
PowerPill is a highly-refined pure petroleum product
of exceptional quality, with an atomic structure composed of
long hydrocarbon chains (H60+C30+). PowerPill is made from a
high-vacuum, high-temperature distillation process, way beyond
the usual refining practices. (By comparison octane rated petrol
is a far less refined product). PowerPill is
made by New Image International under U. S. Lubricants International.
PowerPill and Micro PowerPill (for smaller engines) are supplied
in a convenient, easy-to-store tablet form. The tablets dissolve
completely in fuel to promote cleaner burning engines.
The main benefits of using the PowerPill are:
 |
Reduces
exhaust smoke, emissions. |
|
Increases
engine power. |
|
Improves
fuel economy. |
|
Cleans injectors,
carburettors and entire fuel system. |
|

Both PowerPill and Micro PowerPill are equally effective in
petrol and diesel engines, 2- or 4-stroke. Being of a hydrocarbon
composition, PowerPill is a fuel conditioner not an additive.
Understanding the principles
Hydrocarbon motor fuels (petrol and diesel) come from a variety
of off-shore oil wells, inheriting a variety of problems.
In an attempt to overcome some of these problems, and to improve
various mechanical efficiencies, a large number of additive
products have appeared on the market. Scepticism concerning
these additives abounds! Understandably so, since many of
these products really have no benefit or could even be harmful
to your machine. The PowerPill is in no way similar to any
of these additives.
The continued use of additives often causes more problems
than they cure. For these reasons most knowledgeable owners
of working machines are wary of using additives.
POWERPILL - A Fuel Conditioner
PowerPill fuel conditioners are not additives, nor do they
in any way resemble additives. The PowerPill formulation is
made up only of organic compounds originating from the refining
process. That is the important difference. PowerPill products
are conditioners and not additives. PowerPill products condition
and purify the fuel, altering its molecular structure and
other properties, thus changing the way the fuel behaves.

are conditioners and not additives. PowerPill products condition
and purify the fuel, altering its molecular structure and
other properties, thus changing the way the fuel behaves.
The use of PowerPill cannot damage your vehicle or
machinery in any way.
PowerPill products do not contain damaging chemicals such
as sulphur, metal destroying acids, chlorinated lime, carbon
tetrachloride, abrasives, metal phenolates, poly-amino succini-mides
or zinc dialkyl-dathiophosphates. PowerPill products are designed
to complement and extend the life of existing additive packages
already added to the fuel by the manufacturers.
PowerPill "conditioning packages" are blended to
achieve these results:
Dispersancy/Reabsorption
PowerPill is a system. It is designed to clean, keep clean,
and lubricate fuel lines. It also cleans carbon build-up from
the valve seats and piston rings. Gums, lacquers and varnishes
are reabsorbed into solution and eliminated through combustion.
The top oil "carrier" that distributes the PowerPill
formulation is extremely effective in these areas as a penetrating
agent, and to help clean and further lubricate. PowerPill
molecules inhibit normal interaction of metallic ions in the
oil. Normally, sulphates and nitrates react with water and
other elements to form acids, gums, varnishes and non-combustible
residue.
PowerPill products stop these processes. Our compounds convert
engine acids to synthetic esters, which in themselves are
excellent reducers of sludge and varnish. The rate of degradation
of PowerPill-treated lubricating oil is drastically reduced
and this extends the effective life of the oil.
Benefit: A cleaner-burning engine with more power that produces
less smoke.
Corrosion Inhibition
The petroleum-derived rust and corrosion inhibitors blended
into PowerPill products reduce the formation of sulphuric,
nitric, hydrochloric and hydrobromic acids. They also inhibit
the formation of organic and naphthenic acids that are not
affected by the corrosion and anti-rust agents added during
refining.
Benefit: Reduces the damage caused by acid action in your
engine.
Bacteria/Microbe/Water control
Through its bacteriostatic action and emulsification properties,
PowerPill conditioner helps control the growth of bacteria
and microbes in fuel tanks and fuel storage tanks. PowerPill
helps eliminate the environment that is needed for this growth.
Normally this is the inter-surface between the fuel and the
water.
Benefits: Less sludge in your fuel system; longer lasting
fuel filters.
Colour Stability and Oxidation Control
Fuel can and does go stale. Without treatment, it can become
less and less effective over time. PowerPill contains oxidation
inhibitors to retard oxidation and improve colour stability.
These oxidation inhibitors slow, or stop the ageing of fuel
in storage, thus preventing the formation of gum and sludge
in storage tanks and fuel systems.
Benefits: extended life of fuel filters; easier start-up for
engines that are infrequently used.
Exhaust Emission Inhibition
The main by-product of combustion engines shown by exhaust
analysis should be carbon dioxide. Often, however, carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbon readings result. Carbon monoxide
comes from incomplete combustion, while hydrocarbons result
from unburned fuel. In normally functioning engines, an average
of 60 to 65% of the fuel is completely burned with the remainder
exhausted. PowerPill conditioners alter the molecular structure
of fuel so up to 90% or more is burned. Because of this more
complete fuel burn, emissions are reduced. Engines will run
cooler, with a resulting drop in exhaust temperature.
Benefits: A substantial reduction in air pollution by internal
combustion engines.
Fuel Economy
Diesel or petrol engines treated with PowerPill show a decrease
in fuel consumption, depending on load, terrain, altitude
and weather conditions. Internationally recognised fuel economy
tests are included at the back of these packages. PowerPill
should improve fuel economy by at least 10% after using for
at least 5% of total engine mileage.
Benefits: Cost savings through improved fuel economy.
Reductions in Maintenance Costs
PowerPill dramatically reduces wear rates on injectors and
injector pumps because of increased lubrication of the moving
parts in the entire fuel system. Pistons, valves and combustion
chambers stay free of deposits, while ring wear is substantially
reduced.
Benefits: Savings
in running costs for all engines.
Fuel Storage Stability
PowerPill treated diesel/petrol in storage at 65°C usually
shows an evaporation loss of 12% less than untreated fuel.
Blend stability, a factor in fuel ageing is increased by 50%.
Oxidation inhibitors slow or stop the ageing of stored fuel
and the formation of gum and sludge. Because of this action,
less expensive, lower quality fuels can be safely used without
increased maintenance problems.
Benefits: Less fuel lost to evaporation's; easier start-up
with old fuel; greater performance from poor-quality fuels.
POWERPILL CONDITIONERS WILL:
|
Increase power by promoting
more complete combustion of fuel. |
|
Improve fuel economy by allowing your engine
to burn fuel more efficiently. |
|
Reduce dangerous exhaust emissions by cleaning
up the entire fuel system. |
|
Allow easier start-up by controlling fuel
stability. |
|
Prevent knocking in petrol engines by removing
and preventing carbon deposits on piston tops and other
combustion chamber areas. |
|
Remove and prevent cylinder wall glazing.
This engine malady is normally caused by acid-contaminated
oil. Glazing results in increased oil consumption and
blowby. |
|
Increase fuel mileage or engine hours by
increasing combustion efficiency and removing accumulated
deposits. |
|
Free sticking rings caused by heat, deposits
and inadequate upper cylinder lubrication. |
|
Increase injector life by reducing carbon
deposits on injector tips and controlling moisture in
fuel. |
|
Control water problems reducing the formation
of sulphuric acid and helping to eliminate the environment
necessary for bacteria growth (Diesel Bug). |
Please note:
PowerPill products are not a cure-all, nor are they meant
to replace the need for professional diagnostics and repair
or routine maintenance. Be aware that problems affecting an
engine's performance can result from faults in the electrical
system, timing, excessive and irreversible wear of rings,
bearings, etc. We cannot ''repair' mechanical defects, but
may provide some relief from certain mechanical problems.
The PowerPill does the job it's intended to do and does it
better than any other conditioners or additives available
today.
IMPORTANT
Fuel filters must be monitored and changed
if necessary after first using Power Pills. After this clean-up
phase, fuel filter life can be extended substantially.

Application of PowerPill for High Performance Two Stroke Engines
PowerPill is particularly suitable for use with two stroke
engines due to the problems associated with burning fuel oil
mix efficiently. As much as 40% of the mixture can be exhausted
unburned and this is wasteful on fuel and has a detrimental
effect on the environment. Dr Roy Douglas, who is currently
at the forefront of two stroke engine development for a number
of multinationals, carried out performance testing on PowerPill
in order to maximise the effect on fuels used in competition.
His results allow tuning of the engines to suit fuel treated
with PowerPill. Unleaded fuel was used for the laboratory
tests but field trials were conducted with specialised higher
octane fuels such as Avgas and Elf 2T. PowerPill reacted similarly
in all the fuels used. Dr Douglas's research proved that PowerPill
treated fuel will burn approximately 25% faster than standard
fuel. This faster burn rate allows for more efficient combustion
of the fuel charge in the cylinder. This faster expansion
of gas can be directly related to an increase in power output.
At any given engine revolution the fuel mixture has a very
short time in which to combust.
We now have a situation where treated fuel is burned faster
than untreated, so the engine could take in more fuel at a
given revolution and burn that extra fuel efficiently as well.
Trials carried out on racing machinery have shown that moving
up one or two jet sizes from the normal settings further improved
power output. Two stroke machines normally run with a rich
mixture so that cooling of the pistons occurs as the fuel
evaporates from the crown. If standard jet sizes are retained,
the faster burn rate could show similar effects to that of
lean mixture, i.e. light grey colour crown and overheating
of the piston. Timing of the engine is also important in getting
the best from PowerPill. Ignition of the fuel air mix occurs
before TDC in order that the flame front has time to move
through the gas and reach its peak burn approximately 10 degrees
after TDC. Treated fuel burns faster and may reach its peak
before 10 degrees, so in order to bring the engine back to
within its normal operational envelope it may be necessary
to retard the ignition timing by one or two degrees.
