Winter is here, and in many northern states, that means a switch to oxygenated winter-blend gas. When this reformulated gas hits the pumps, you can expect an increase in customer complaints about reduced engine performance and fuel economy.
Rislone Complete Gasoline Fuel System Treatment increases power, performance, mileage and saves gas by cleaning and lubricating the complete fuel system. It also helps reduce the effects of cold weather like fuel line icing, noisy fuel pumps, rough idle, hard starting and hesitation.
With higher-octane winter-blend gas in the tank, gas mileage takes a hit. Gasoline refiners add low-boiling-point hydrocarbons like butane and propane, as well as oxygen-bearing ether compounds like ethanol, to winter gas, increasing its octane value. Higher-octane fuel burns more quickly, and the oxygen-bearing compounds displace fuel components, so it takes more fuel to get the job done.
“The process used to produce winter-blend gasoline can lead to reduced fuel economy, and winter cold just complicates matters by reducing engine performance,” says Clay Parks, vice president of development for Rislone. “Rislone Complete Gasoline Fuel System Treatment is one of the most awarded and popular fuel system treatments on the market. It’s equivalent to a full bottle of regular fuel injector cleaner, upper cylinder lubricant, fuel stabilizer, gas dryer and gas treatment. A single bottle with every oil change increases power, performance and mileage by cleaning and lubricating the complete fuel system.”
To make putting Rislone Complete Gasoline Fuel System Treatment into the gas tank easy, each dual-cavity bottle comes with a specially designed spout attached. It screws onto the top of the bottle and is designed like a regular gasoline fuel nozzle to push the metal flap in the fueling port down so the contents flow easily into the tank. For best results, one 16.9 fluid ounce (500 mL) bottle should be used every 5,000 miles, or every time the engine is scheduled for an oil change. Use anytime in a nearly full tank, or add to tank and then fill with up to 22 gallons of gas. For larger vehicles use one bottle per 20 gallons of fuel capacity.
Rislone Complete Gasoline Fuel System Treatment is designed to work with all unleaded, oxygenated, and E10 E15 E85 ethanol containing fuels. It will not harm the engine or any emissions components, including catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, or the EGR valve.
