Castrol TDA. Improving the quality of diesel fuel
Application area
Castrol TDA is a complex diesel fuel additive. The main function is to improve the pumpability of diesel fuel during the first frosts. Additionally, it allows to improve the characteristics of the diesel fuel itself, increase the efficiency of the power unit and protect parts of the fuel equipment of the vehicle from breakdowns.
It is sold in the form of a 250 ml bottle, it will be enough to fill 250 liters of diesel fuel, the additive is added to the fuel tank, the approximate ratio is 1 ml of the additive per 1 liter of fuel. The additive has a red-brown tint, easily distinguishable through the transparent walls of the container. The product is certified.
Benefits of using an additive
Numerous tests prove the effectiveness of the product:
- The characteristics of diesel fuel are improved during winter and exposure to negative temperatures.
- The cold start time of the engine is reduced.
- The fuel pumpability index is effective up to -26 °С.
The solution has a positive effect on the power unit and fuel equipment of transport:
- The viscosity of the fuel remains unchanged, the engine operates stably in the specified performance characteristics. The creators of Castrol TDA took care not only of the service life of the fuel equipment, but also paid attention to the engine power indicators.
- The additive stops the aging process of diesel fuel, so it can be stored longer.
- Castrol TDA takes all the fuel equipment of the machine under corrosion protection.
- Anti-wear additives allow you to increase the period of reliable operation of the fuel system, making up for the lack of lubricants in diesel fuel.
- Detergent additives quickly cope with accumulated deposits, prevent the formation of new ones: improve heat transfer, reduce fuel consumption.
- Castrol TDA improves the ignitability of the fuel.
The liquid can be operated in a wide temperature range - from the Far North to the hot Sahara desert with hot sand.
Instructions for use
Castrol TDA is added to the fuel tank at the rate of 10 ml for every 10 liters of fuel filled. Thanks to the measuring compartment located on the body, you can press the bottle, the additive will fall into a separate part of the bottle, from where it will not pour back without additional pressure.
The agent can be added both to the fuel canister and directly to the diesel fuel in the tank with the engine turned off. After that, it is advisable to drive at low speed over uneven terrain so that the additive mixes with the fuel.
Conclusion
The decision to add an additive to diesel fuel will be individual for each driver. However, additives produced by global lubricant manufacturers deserve great confidence, as they have passed the entire range of necessary life tests before being put on the store shelf. Castrol is one of the world's leading oil labs.
The best advice would be to urge drivers to refuel with quality fuel, since diesel fuel already has protective and lubricating additives in its composition. Doubtful gas stations are best avoided.
The additive has a gasoline counterpart called Castrol TBE, which protects the fuel system from the effects of corrosion, deposits and improves the properties of gasoline. The packaging article for searching through electronic catalogs is 14AD13, sold in bottles of 250 ml.
