Schaeffers CarbonTreat Premium All Season (1 pts)

Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season is a multifunctional, ultra-low sulfur compliant diesel fuel additive is formulated to
prevent and control the formation of asphaltenes and other unstable compounds. These compounds, caused by the
extreme pressures and temperatures encountered in high pressure common rail fuel injection systems, can lead to
the formation of deposits which plug fuel filters and foul injectors. Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season has 3X the
detergency needed to provide clean-up and keep clean performance, as shown by the Peugeot DW-10 Injector
Depositing Test.

Although Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season is developed for new model vehicles it can be used in any diesel
powered vehicle and in all types of diesel fuel including low sulfur diesel fuel and biodiesel blends.
Features and Benefits:
Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season contains a highly concentrated multi-functional additive package, which provides
the following performance benefits when used at the recommended treatment ratio:

1. Provides cold temperature protection against fuel gelling, waxing, and fuel line freeze-up
2. Improves fuel efficiency
3. Restores, improves and maintains horsepower
4. 3X the detergency needed for Clean-up & Keep clean performance proven in the Peugeot DW-10
Injector Depositing Test
5. Improvement of the fuel’s cetane rating up to five points.
6. Excellent anti-wear protection for injectors and fuel pumps; supplemental ring and valve-train antiwear protection; and lubrication of the upper cylinders.
7. Inhibition of oxidation during storage for extended storage stability.
8. Rust and corrosion protection to the entire fuel system.

Coupled with this multifunctional additive package is a non-alcohol jet fuel deicer/water dispersant which eliminates
the problems associated with entrained and/or dissolved water present in the fuel by dispersing the water into tiny
droplets. These tiny droplets are suspended in the fuel so they can be carried with the fuel in controlled amounts
through the fuel filters, fuel lines, and into the combustion chamber to be burned with the fuel. Because the remaining
water is dispersed and suspended in the fuel, Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season prevents the formation of stable
fuel-water emulsions.

Improved Low Temperature Operability:
Changes in the refining process of middle distillates to make ultra low sulfur diesel fuel have resulted in chemical
changes that can significantly impact the fuel’s low temperature operability. These chemical changes cause an
increase in the amount of total wax (n-paraffins) and wax-to-wax ratios present in the fuel. These wax particles
become more concentrated and harder to disperse. As the temperature of the ultra low sulfur diesel fuel drops, the
concentrated wax molecules can begin to rapidly precipitate out of the fuel and form large flat or irregular crystals that
can quickly plug fuel lines and filters.

Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season contains a proprietary wax crystal modifier, cold flow improver; heavy wax
modifier polymeric type additive system that when added to the diesel fuel before the fuel has reached its cloud point
helps to prevent the formation of wax crystals. This proprietary polymeric additive system modifies the individual wax
crystals by encapsulating and dispersing them as they are formed. This not only drastically reduces the size of the
wax crystals by preventing the growth of larger wax crystals through adhesion to each other; but, also allows the wax
crystals to flow through the fuel filters and lines and into the combustion chamber with the fuel.

Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season can significantly improve the gelling point and low temperature operability of the
fuel. Improvement in low temperature operability is dependent upon the refining process used to make the
ultra low sulfur diesel fuel and its response to the additive.
Prevention of Settling of Wax Crystals at Low Temperatures
The wax crystals forming in a fuel normally have a slightly higher density than the liquid fuel portion resulting in these
wax crystals settling at the bottom of the vehicle fuel tanks and the fuel storage tanks.
Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season contains a proprietary wax anti-settling agent (WASA) that is designed to
prevent the paraffins and other waxy components, which can plug and clog filters and other fuel system components,
from dropping out of the fuel and settling out over extended periods of time. This increases the diesel fuel’s cold
weather operability which reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Increased Lubricity Protection with Synshield

Today’s diesel powered vehicles feature low emission engines that are more susceptible than ever to diesel fuel
related wear. Diesel engine designs are employing the use of higher fuel injection pressures, hotter fuel return
temperatures, higher operating temperatures and complex engine geometry to control emissions. All of these factors
result in increased fuel system wear and decreased engine life.

Carbon Treat™ Premium All Season is blended with Schaeffer’s proprietary lubricity additive, Synshield to protect
today’s diesel engines from fuel system related wear. Synshield surpasses industry standards for diesel fuel
lubricity; and is the only lubricity additive that does not contain sulfur or sulfur containing compounds to exceed the
EPA’s new standard. Synshield prevents fuel system wear and injector scoring by forming a protective layer on the
metal surfaces of the fuel system and injectors and provide boundary lubrication between metallic parts in critical fuel
system components. This protective boundary lubrication film not only reduces friction and wear between the fuel
system surfaces that are in relative motion but also increases fuel system component life, thus leading to less
downtime and longer equipment life.
