- Cleans dirty injectors and prevents injector sticking in both High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) and older systems
- Removes both internal and external deposits on fuel injectors
- Restores lost power and fuel economy
- Contains Slickdiesel Lubricator to protect fuel pumps and injectors from increased wear caused by poor quality Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
- Effective in all diesel fuels, including ULSD, biodiesel and biodiesel blends
- Restores/Increase Horsepower: detergents clean deposits in the injection system
- Reduces Fuel Consumption tests show an average of 4 percent improvement in MPG and gains up to 9.6 Percent
- Cetane Improver improves combustion resulting in better engine starting, running and reduced noise
- Reduces Wear: Lubricity improvers restore lubricity to ultra low sulfur diesel fuels
- Reduces Emissions reduces Smoke and Particulates
- TWO-STEP FUEL SYSTEM RESET: Includes AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner + AR6500 Diesel Treatment (40 oz) for a complete clean-and-maintain solution
- HOW IT WORKS: Use AR6400-D first for a deep clean (12 oz treats 30-40 gallons), then use AR6500 at every fill-up for ongoing protection (40 oz treats up to 400 gallons)
- FOR ALL DIESEL ENGINES: Suitable for all diesel vehicles and equipment, including modern HPCR systems
- CLEANS INJECTORS & RESTORES RESPONSE: Removes injector deposits and restores spray patterns for smoother running, improved response, and more efficient combustion
- IMPROVES LUBRICITY (ASTM D6079): AR6500 is tested to improve lubricity by 43% to protect fuel system components, including wear-sensitive parts like the CP4 pump
