FIND OUT WHY YOUR FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS
FilterMAG™ products have a significant and extremely effective impact on modern fuel injection systems.
With the worldwide mandate to improve engine performance and reduce emissions being actively undertaken by many governments, we have now entered an era where vehicle engines run more smoothly and economically but with far more complexity than just 10 years ago. This makes them more susceptible to fuel quality.
We have seen the relative progression away from plastic fuel filters to metal bodied fuel filters to accommodate the increase in operating pressure. This allows basic fuel injection systems to function under pressure that can exceed 30,000 psi. Plastic filter canisters cannot withstand these operational criteria and would prove to be a safety and reliability hazard.
What are the common problems associated with today's petrol & diesel fuels?
There are several issues on the quality front that you should be aware of:
Fuel is transported around the refinery in steel tubes. A small amount of metallic contamination occurs at this stage. The manufacturers filter to a good degree but some contamination always remains. This is however considered "clean and acceptable fuel."
Fuel is passed into and transported further by tankers, whether bulk shipping or road orientated. Again, a level of contamination can be introduced or occur be it by water, oxides or by a range of bacteria and yeasts (referred to as HUMbugs — Hydrocarbon Utilising Microorganisms).
These HUMbugs are a significant issue to diesel users in particular. Briefly, they live in all water-fuel interfaces and a single bacterium can multiply to become over 260 thousand in just six hours. Eventually they take over the tank, lines & filter, causing significant and expensive damage.
Fuel then gets pumped into storage tanks in the service station forecourt for final dispensing into your vehicle. Are these in-ground tanks made of stainless steel, or free of water and other contaminants? Definitely not!
(Some service stations have been known to extend fuel by mixing pesticide waste, sump oil and water with the incoming new fuel to top up the profit margin. There have also been recorded cases of dispensing pumps having their filters removed to speed up the "flow rate.")
Then you have to consider: Is your vehicle fuel tank a clean environment? No, it contains rust, water & HUMbugs. Are the jerry cans or 44-gallon drums (used in remote areas) clean? No. Who knows how long fuel may have been sitting in them?
At this stage you may be asking yourself, "How would water get into my fuel, and why should it bother me anyway?"
How can a FilterMAG™ assist in this situation?
FilterMAG has one distinct property — extreme magnetism — and two real impacts on fuel systems:
Impact 1. A FilterMAG can remove all of the metallic particles from your fuel system down to a level of 2-micron, ensuring you get clean fuel delivered to the injectors. This will also contribute to longer service life for your pumps, injectors and other ancillary equipment.
The photo right demonstrates how the FilterMAG™ filtration system significantly enhances the effectiveness of standard fuel filters.
Impact 2. FilterMAG's sheer magnetic force destroys the single celled microbial infestations that can reside in the fuel-water interface because these cells are positively and negatively charged. The magnetic force kills them and rips them into sub atomic particles that pass through your injectors to be burnt with the fuel and then passed out as exhaust.
Elegantly simple yet brilliantly effective!
There have been several products introduced to the market over the years that have attempted to achieve the same benefits. They all involved some kind of "fitting required" but none possessed the same magnitude of magnetic force as a FilterMAG™.
Only a genuine FilterMAG™ can achieve the results you need to keep your equipment running well into the future. Absolutely NO fitting tools are required. You simply snap one on, and motor off in full confidence.
