Fuel Problems in Cars, Buses, and SUVs

The Nigerian auto industry is firmly dominated by cars, buses, and SUVs whose owners want reliability from the fuel and from the vehicles that run on them. The type of fuel used is either petrol, diesel or LPG / CNG.

Unfortunately, we are presently faced with a situation where in order to reduce landing cost of petrol ( PMS ) the ethanol or methanol content in petrol has increased over the years and has raised certain concerns for discerning car owners
As a result of increased ethanol or methanol content in petrol which has led to a drop in energy density of fuel resulting in lower fuel economy most car owners and vehicle operators are now increasingly covering less distances at the same petrol cost or higher.

This situation is expected to worsen when fuel subsidy is removed. Car drivers and vehicle operators are constantly looking for solutions that will improve fuel efficiency without causing damage to their engines.
The combustion process in engines has always produced carbon deposits that buildup in the valves, injector and combustion chamber. Fuels with sufficient detergent additives have been responsible for dissolving and controlling the build-up of these deposits. A case where these additives are no longer contained in the proper concentrations in fuel and the ethanol or methanol concentration is further increased creates an entirely new problem for engines.

Vehicle engines made before 2003 suffer a situation where ethanol eats away at plastic and rubber seals and parts, dissolving them and creating problems over time. This means increased maintenance and the possibility of real damage over time. Reduced cetane levels and low detergency in diesel fuels translates to poor fuel ignitability, increased deposits, and poor fuel economy. Whether your vehicle runs on Petrol, petrol / ethanol or diesel – there’s an X-Tend  treatment for you.
