Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment is a unique 100% pure petroleum-based metal treatment that is compatible with all motor oils, including synthetics. Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment is engineered specifically for the internal combustion engine (Petrol, Diesel, LPG) and should not be confused with ordinary additives witch have marginal benefits. It is a metal treatment that does not replace your engine’s oil.
Bitron coats all metal surfaces with a protective layer of molecules. Without Bitron, within hours of turning your engine off, virtually no oil remains on engine parts. Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment helps protects your engine from wear, 90% of which occurs during cold starts in the first critical moments before the motor’s oil fully circulates. Unlike most oil additives and engine treatments, Bitron will not interfere with engineered tolerance and cannot adversely affect engine performance.
Bitron reduces friction and wear and so will extend the life of your oil and improve its lubricating qualities. It uses the package of additives present in your own oil and so takes on the characteristics of whichever oil it is used with (synthetic or mineral), and is effective under the most sever operating conditions. It is non-corrosive, contains no plastic particles, PTFE resins (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene – Teflon), molybdenum disulphide, lead or any other metal.
Bitron helps break the vicious cycle of heat from friction expanding the metal – causing more friction – which may ultimately cause engine failure. Conventional oil becomes less viscous at elevated temperatures and flows away from heat. Bitron, however, is attracted to any hot spots (areas where engineering tolerances make for increased friction and therefore more heat and wear) because with the increased temperature there will be an increase in negative charge which attracts more of the positively charged Bitron. This provides increased lubrication of the metal where it is needed most.
The unique specially developed and proven product can be a tremendous boost to the efficiency of vehicles and machinery. To maximise these benefits, you should utilise the entire Bitron product line.
Directions for use:
Initial treatment:
Add Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment at a ratio of 10% of the sump volume, using your existing oil. Run the engine for approximately 1200km or 8 hours before performing an oil change and replacing the oil filter/s.
Subsequent treatment:
Add Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment at a ratio of 5% of the sump volume with each oil change as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
If unsure of treatment ratios and special applications contact your distributor.
The cleaning action of the Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment may lead to a blackening and thickening of the oil, due to hydrocarbon build-up that was already in the engine before Bitron was added. Note that it is these contaminants that have made the oil dirty, not Bitron. The condition of the oil should be checked frequently (especially during the first 1200km or 8 hours) and changed as soon as it is dirty, or at regular maintenance intervals.
Note: In new equipment and vehicles the initial 10% treatment can be omitted.
Points to note:
1. While Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment can be added to oil of any condition, its abilities will be enhanced if it is added to fresh, clean oil.
2. using less than the recommended amount of Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment may reduce its effectiveness
3. The use of Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment in an engine does not affect its ability to be rebuilt. Rebuilt engines require a running-in period of around 1200km or 8 hours prior to the addition of Bitron products.
4. When performing oil analysis, the first and second samples after adding Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment may show higher than normal particle readings, due to the cleaning action of the product. Subsequent analysis (ie 3rd and 4th samples) will show a substantial reduction in the wear factor.
5. Care should be taken not to overfill your engine.
Note: Rebuilt engines require a settling-in period and should be "run in" for about 2,000 klms prior to the addition of Bi-Tron products. This allows the rings to seat and larger irregularities to be worn down.
For high-mileage vehicles, Bi-Tron will remove the Hydrocarbon build-up which is often quite substantial. This may lead to a blackening and thickening of the oil combined with a reduction in its lubricating qualities. You may find it appropriate to change the oil, or at the very least check its condition, 1,000 - 1,500 klms of driving after Bi-Tronizing your vehicle. Customers may claim that Bi-Tron has dirtied their oil. Please remember that the contaminants have made the oil dirty, not Bi-Tron. The customer must understand that this specially engineered Engine Formulation has actually performed a service for them - freeing their engine of harmful contaminants - that their standard engine oil could not.

Results should include:
• A quieter and smoother engine with a lighter and quicker throttle response
• An increase in top-end RPM
• Less decrease in speed while hill-climbing requiring fewer gear changes
• Easier cold weather starting
• Releasing of piston rings that are fouled or frozen from hydrocarbon residue
• Reduction in oil consumption and hydrocarbon emissions
• Maximising of compression and horsepower
• Improvement in fuel efficiency due to reduction of friction throughout the engine
Turbo chargers often have tremendous problems with high RPM causing lubricants to oxidise quite quickly. The drop in oil pressure when the engine is turned off, while the turbines are still rotating, tends to leave the bearings (especially thrust areas) isolated from oil flow. This causes the small amount of oil left around the shaft and bearings to carbonise, leaving carbon and sludge residue. Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment will reduce the friction and heat in turbo chargers, and prevent carbon build-up.

Points to note:
1. Bitron is not a cure-all for mechanical problems. In some cases the detergent effects of Bitron may expose pre-existing problems (eg damaged seals or gaskets)
2. Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment will not undo pre-existing wear, but could help extend engine life.
3. The addition of Bitron EP20 Engine Treatment may result in increased idling RPM due to a reduction in friction. Re-adjust idle RPM to the equipment manufacturer’s recommended setting – to maximise fuel economy and reduce emissions. |

There is often a question concerning the possible threat of cancellation of warranties by the manufacturers should additives be used in their equipment or vehicles. Not only will Bitron not void warranties, it will probably dramatically extend the working life of your engine, its oil and its components. Like oil, Bitron is purely hydrocarbon in its make-up and so is compatible with all mineral and synthetic oils. It contains no solids of any kind and is non-corrosive. There is nothing present which could cause any damage of any kind to metal components or seals. Therefore, even if its presence could be detected it could NOT void any warranty. Coating a metal with a protective layer of oil cannot contribute to excessive wear or breakdown of the metal.
It is not a simple matter for manufacturers to just void a warranty without providing sufficient evidence to justify their actions. The manufacturer must prove that the use of any product caused the claimed-for damage and that it was not due to their component failure. Damage within the boundaries of a warranty caused by improper lubrication will in fact be covered either by the manufacturer’s warranty or our own product liability insurance.

Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation (EP Metal Treatment)
• Optimises the efficiency of the drive train
• Compatible with ALL mineral & synthetic gear oil and hydraulic fluids
• Reduces friction and wear
• Will not void warranties
• Backed by our product liability insurance
• Pure petroleum-based
• Non-corrosive
• No solids, PTFE or metal
• Mix at 5% to gear oils or hydraulic fluids
Available sizes: 5L, 20L, 75L & 200L
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is engineered to be compatible with gear oils such as Automatic Transmission Fluid, Mercon & Dexron as well as hydraulic fluids. It is designed to reduce friction in extreme pressure situations, contributing to a reduction in wear and tear and operating temperatures. Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation coats the metal with a protective layer of molecules. It will actually be attracted into areas of high wear because the extra friction creates extra heat and so extra negative charge, whereas conventional oil will run away from that area. The reduction in friction leads to less waste of energy (energy lost in the form of heat & noise). This means that more energy is free to pass through the drive train providing an improvement in horsepower or power output at the wheels.
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is probably one of the more versatile products in the Bitron family. Its uniquely engineered pure hydrocarbon base makes it completely compatible with a wide range of different gear & bearing oils as well as hydraulic & cutting fluids.

Directions:
Initial Treatment: Add Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation at a ratio of 10% of the volume of the reservoir being treated. Check oil/hydraulic fluid after 1000km-1500km (10-15hrs) and change if necessary.
Subsequent treatments: Add Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation at the rate of 5% of the volume of the reservoir being treated with each oil change as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
The optimum ratio (if in any doubt) is 5% of the overall volume of the casing (not the quantity of oil) being treated. This is the same ratio regardless of how large the case is. The Bitron needs to be re-applied only when the fluid is changed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
If unsure of treatment ratios and special applications contact your distributor.
Points to note:
1. Automatic transmissions that have dirty fluid or have not been maintained should be serviced before being treated with Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation.
2. Differentials or standard transmissions with excessive sediment and deposits may need to have a fluid change after Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation has completed its cleaning. If this is required, more Bitron will have to be added.
3. Do not overfill transmissions, differentials, transfer cases or power steering reservoirs. If necessary, fluid may need to be drained before adding Bitron.
4. When performing oil analysis, the first and second samples after adding Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation may show higher than normal particle readings, due to the cleaning action of the product. Subsequent analysis will show a substantial reduction in the wear factor
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is not compatible with brake fluids and should never be added to brake system master cylinders. It should be noted that many hydraulic clutch systems use brake fluid, not hydraulic oil, and Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation should not be used.
Not suitable for use in wet clutches or brake systems.

Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is probably one of the more versatile products in the Bitron family. Its uniquely engineered pure hydrocarbon base makes it completely compatible with a wide range of different gear & bearing oils as well as hydraulic & cutting fluids.
Treatment results should include:
1. Smoother, faster shifting of gears in manual and automatic transmissions
2. reduction of transmission gear howl and vibration
3. less torque loss and increase in actual power to the drive train
This product will not cause “slippage” in either manual or automatic transmissions. On the contrary, its use results in smoother, easier gear changes. Clutches need friction to operate – the clutch plates in an automatic transmission are bathed in transmission fluid but are fibrous in makeup (similar to brake pads) and so should be treated with Bitron. Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation coats and protects the complex systems of metal gears that make up the remainder of any transmissions or gearbox.
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation will assist in the protection of the automatic transmission or gearbox from friction and reduce the heat build-up which destroys the effectiveness of the fluid (the major cause of failure).
Note: Bitron is non-corrosive and cannot negatively affect the material of the seals or gaskets. It is a metal treatment and treats only the metal surfaces.
Caution: Bitron will not restore damaged seals that are already hardened and cracked.
For regular, limited slip or Posi-Trac differentials, gears and transfer cases, mix at 5% Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation by volume. Differentials are subjected to considerable heat and friction due to the loads and stress of gears. Laboratory tests and actual use have proven the Bitron decreases internal oil temperatures in differentials anywhere from 5-20 degrees C. The pressures in these systems are huge and the metal surfaces are subject to severe stresses. Bitron will not interfere with the biting points of these systems but will protect the metal from excessive wear.
Treatment results should include:
1. reduced operating temperatures
2. reduced differential noise (gear howl)
Caution Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is not intended for gears that have sheared or are on the verge of lock-up, unless this is due to overheating and has not yet resulted in welding.
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is compatible with all steering units. Mix at 5% by volume.
Treatment results should include:
1. Easier steering
2. Increased pump flow in worn or dirty power steering units
3. Increase in life expectancy of unit due to decreased wear.
Note: Bitron is not intended to restore mechanical failure.
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is completely compatible with hydraulic oils and should be used at a 5% ratio. It will coat the entire system with a protective layer, reducing operating temperatures and wear. Most of the heat in these systems is generated by extreme pressures. This heat will cause the metal to expand and so increase the level of friction and wear, which will then in turn contribute to the heat further expanding the metal, creating more friction and so on.
Clutches that are bathed in oil should be treated withBitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation at a 6% ratio. It will not interfere with the biting points of clutch plates or cause any slippage. Clutch plates are made from fibrous material, not metal , and so are not affected.
Note: Clutches and transmissions that have common sump oiling with an engine (most four-stroke motorcycles) should be treated with Bi-Tron's Engine Treatment at the ratios recommended for that product.
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is compatible with most drilling fluids.
Mix 6% Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation by volume. Air-Conditioner compressors are a tremendous source of power draw on engines. Before adding, please check with your service technician for assistance.
There are many other areas where friction can be a source of problems. Many engineers have used their imagination finding new ways of utilizing the many properties of Bi-Tron. Keep in mind that Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation can be used wherever friction is found. The rule-of-thumb for mix percentage is 6% by volume. It may be advisable to use up to 10% when quick response is required.

Petrol Power Treatment
|Treatment Results| |Directions| |Specifications|
Helps to increase the octane rating of petrol by up to 7 numbers RON.
Using a fuel that does not have a sufficiently high octane rating causes the engine to PING, which in turn can cause severe engine damage.
Every engine has a minimum octane requirement (OR) that depends upon engine design and, in particular, compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the higher the OR.
If the petrol used does not have a sufficiently high Research Octane Number (RON) to cater for the engine's OR then “PINGING” occurs. PINGING also know in the trade as Detonation or Knocking is the term used to describe the chemical breakdown of the fuel/air mixture, which results in premature self-combustion during the compression stroke of the engine, i.e. the mixture explodes prior to ignition by the spark plug. Under these circumstances the force of the explosion is opposing the direction of piston travel resulting in enormous loads.
If PINGING is allowed to continue, engine failure can occur. Bi-Tron Power Plus substantially increases the RON of petrol, ensuring that the fuel mixture burns properly so that the engine can function according to its design and at maximum efficiency, thus reducing the likelihood of PINGING.
Bi-Tron Power Plus is compatible with all leaded and unleaded fuels.
Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is compatible with all diesel engines including stationary engines. The product can be used in any diesel engine where lubrication and performance are critical to the operation of the engine. Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus provides protection to the upper engine, fuel pump and seals protecting them from excessive wear caused by poor lubrication. Diesel Power Plus will significantly increase the performance and fuel economy of any engine treated. Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is also a must for diesel holding tanks where moisture and diesel fungus (bug) are a problem.
Benefits:
Boosts Octane by up to 7 numbers RON.
· Stops engine Pinging.
· Maximises horsepower and Torque.
· Reduces overheating and piston damage.
· Increases Performance and Acceleration.
· Compatible with all fuels.
· Protects Against Valve Seat Recession.
Add 2ml-3ml of Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus per litre of fuel. For best results, add the product before filling the tank. If the fuel system being treated is dirty we recommend using Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner for the first 4 tanks to ensure the system is thoroughly cleaned. We also recommend that the fuel filters are inspected at the end of 4 tanks of either product and replaced if necessary as both products will remove buildups of carbon, gum and other sludge.

Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner is a complex combination of petro-chemicals which is designed to increase the lubricity and improve combustion of diesel fuels. It penetrates and removes carbon build-up, gums and sludge and lubricates the moving metal parts of both the fuel supply system and the engine's top-end. The product is compatible with all types and grades of diesel fuel. Use of the Conditioner extends the life of the diesel engine and improves the efficiency of fuel combustion, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner is a non-extractable and ashless conditioner which serves as a multi-functional lubricant, and conforms with EPA regulations when used in diesel fuel. It is non-corrosive and contains no solids.
The Diesel Conditioner is engineered to improve the burn structure of the diesel fuel so that it burns faster, hotter and more completely. More energy is extracted from the fuel and because it is being burned more completely, lower levels of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbons are expelled in exhaust emissions. Sulphur has been removed from diesel fuels throughout Australia in the interest of reducing toxic and acidic emissions. As a result, the fuel is not burning as well and damage is being done to the upper engine and fuel pumps due to a lack of lubrication. The conditioner will improve the lubricity of the fuel and coat all metal surfaces throughout the fuel system and upper engine with a protective layer of oil. In the upper engine it coats injectors and valves with a layer of oil and will even remove existing gums and varnishes and prevent future build-up. This means that these vital components can operate to the optimum level that their engineered parameters will allow.
Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner's improved lubricity makes for easier starts and smoother running engines and will help prevent winter fuel from gelling at low temperatures while improving the lubricity of this much thinner fuel. It also breaks down the surface tension of water (from condensation) in diesel fuel protecting the injectors and fuel filters, and lubricates and protects the upper cylinder walls and fuel pump from wear.
The conditioner also extends the life of diesel fuel in storage tanks. It slows the degradation of the fuel caused by the polymerization and breakdown of hydrocarbons preventing sludge formation, colour deterioration, a disagreeable odour and even fungus growth. The conditioner can be used to improve heating oil combustion and protect the pumps and injectors.
Bi-Tron's Diesel Fuel Conditioner is compatible with all Grades of diesel fuel, heating oils etc. But may not be totally miscible with crude, heavy bunker C grade fuel.
Possible applications range from stationary engines to diesel cars, trucks and marine engines, from single cylinder systems to massive heavy duty industrial multi-cylinder engines.
Use a minimum of 30 - 60 ml (1 -2 oz.) of Diesel Conditioner for each 40 litres (10 gal.) of fuel. For larger volumes just multiply up.

Diesel Power Plus
Bi-Tron’s new Diesel Power Plus is specifically designed to boost Cetane in diesel fuel thereby increasing power, torque and fuel economy significantly.
Most diesel products currently available are designed to clean diesel fuel systems but have little or no effect on increasing the power output of the diesel. Bi-Tron’s Diesel Power Plus has been specifically formulated to increase the power output of diesel fuel by altering the burn characteristics of the fuel without any significant increase in the burn temperature. This is important as it makes the product safe to use in newer diesel engines where a large increase in fuel burn temperature can adversely affect the upper cylinders and valves.
Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is compatible with all grades of diesel as well as bio-diesel. The product will keep a clean diesel fuel system clean (for fuel systems that are dirty we recommend running Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner for the first 3-4 tanks) and contains Bi-Tron’s proprietary lubricant to lubricate the moving metal parts of both the fuel supply system and the engine’s top end.
Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus contains no solids and is non-corrosive and totally safe for use in all diesel engines.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is engineered to improve the burn structure of diesel fuel so that it burns more completely. More energy is extracted from the fuel and because most of the fuel is being burned to create energy it contributes significantly to lower levels of Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons and Nitrous Oxide (NOX) emissions.
With the reduction and eventual removal of sulphur from all diesel fuels sold in Australia more and more diesel fuel systems require extra lubrication to prevent damage to the upper engine and fuel pump. Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus contains a lubricant specifically designed to lubricate all metal parts of the fuel system and upper engine. The lubricant is designed to withstand the high temperatures as the diesel burns and to coat any metal surfaces it comes into contact with, with a protective layer of lubricant. This in turn protects the cylinder walls, valves and fuel pump against excessive wear, extending the life of the engine. The product will not interfere with rubber and/or plastic seals.
USAGE AND DIRECTIONS:
Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is compatible with all diesel engines including stationary engines. The product can be used in any diesel engine where lubrication and performance are critical to the operation of the engine. Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus provides protection to the upper engine, fuel pump and seals protecting them from excessive wear caused by poor lubrication. Diesel Power Plus will significantly increase the performance and fuel economy of any engine treated. Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus is also a must for diesel holding tanks where moisture and diesel fungus (bug) are a problem.
Add 2ml-3ml of Bi-Tron Diesel Power Plus per litre of fuel. For best results, add the product before filling the tank. If the fuel system being treated is dirty we recommend using Bi-Tron Diesel Fuel Conditioner for the first 4 tanks to ensure the system is thoroughly cleaned. We also recommend that the fuel filters are inspected at the end of 4 tanks of either product and replaced if necessary as both products will remove buildups of carbon, gum and other sludge.
BENEFITS:
• Maximises power and compression
• Improves mileage and performance
• Neutralises sulphuric acid
• Cleans and lubricates injectors and top-end
• Compatible with all grades of diesel and bio-diesel
• Significantly improves combustions
• Reduces emissions and black smoke
• Lubricates upper cylinders, valves and fuel pump
• Prevents corrosion and waxing within the fuel
• Prevents diesel fungus (bug)
• Reduces moisture related problems
Diesel Conditioner V Diesel Power Plus
The difference between the 2 products is what they do within the diesel. Diesel Fuel Conditioner is primarily a fuel system cleaner containing a lubricant. The diesel conditioner is designed to remove carbon and other deposits from the fuel tank and system and to lubricate the moving parts of the fuel system (ie fuel pump). Most of the improvement in fuel economy is due to its cleaning action and the lubrication. Whilst it does help with the burn slightly, it is primarily designed to clean. The Diesel Power Plus does the opposite. It is primarily designed to work on the burn characteristics of diesel by lifting the Cetane level (as opposed to octane in petrol). Increasing the cetane level in diesel has a similar effect to increasing the octane level in petrol. Increasing cetane means that more of the diesel is used during the combustion process leading to better fuel economy and significant decreases in emissions. We have 2 different diesel products because products that primarily clean usually have little effect on combustion whilst products designed to work on fuel ignition generally have to sacrifice some of the cleaning ability. Bitron Diesel Power Plus will keep a clean fuel system reasonably clean BUT it will take much longer than the Bitron Diesel Fuel Conditioner to clean up a dirty fuel system. Basically using the 2 products in conjunction saves money – the Diesel Fuel Conditioner will clean the fuel system after 3 or 4 tanks (as opposed to 11 to 12 tanks for the Diesel Power Plus) which gives increased savings, then going to the Diesel Power Plus will give better fuel economy as it works on the burn characteristic. An explanation of what cetane is follows:
The cetane rating is a measure of an important combustion characteristic of a fuel in a compression ignition (diesel) engine. A long ignition delay (low cetane) in a diesel engine will result in rapid pressure rise that can cause undesirable audible knock, high stresses and severe engine vibration. Also, difficult starting in cold weather, misfiring and excessive white smoke often result from too low cetane.
The 3 -4ml dosage is the recommended dosage only and with our own clients we encourage them to start at 2-3ml/L and adjust downwards if they are satisfied with the result until they find the optimum treatment ratio. With some new diesel engines in particular that are computer controlled, initially there maybe a drop off in fuel economy but as the computer sensors adjust themselves this corrects. Whilst you do need to normally use double the dose of the Diesel Fuel Conditioner, the savings are also much greater as well.

INFORMATION REGARDING TREATMENT OF FUNGUS IN DIESEL FUEL
WHAT IS DIESEL FUNGUS?
Diesel fungus describes a number of living organisms that can be found in diesel fuel. They are either fungal or bacterial but both cause similar problems in affected fuel.
WHAT CAUSES DIESEL FUNGUS?
Diesel fungus is caused when moisture or water comes into contact with diesel. There are a number of ways that this can happen the most common ways being:
• Incorrect handling and storage procedures
• Tanks without adequate seals.
• Diesel left standing for long periods of time allowing moisture to gradually build up
• Diesel stored in tanks that are not full. This can be a particular problem in hot humid areas where the tanks “breathe” causing condensation.
WHAT PROBLEMS CAN DIESEL FUNGUS CAUSE?
• Natural by-products especially organic acids which make the fuel unstable
• Blocked fuel filters
• Reduced power output
• Increased fuel usage.
• Damage to the fuel system
DOES BITRON KILL DIESEL FUNGUS?
Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner contains a fungicide which is designed to kill most diesel fungus and bacteria. The product can be used as both a maintenance dose to keep diesel bug at bay in unaffected tanks or as a 'kill' dose in tanks already affected with diesel bug. The amount of product required and treatment procedure varies depending on whether the tank is unaffected or affected by the bug.
WHAT IS A MAINTENANCE DOSE?
Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner is effective in keeping stored diesel fungus free. An initial maintenance dose of 1.5% of the tank volume should be added to a full tank of diesel. It is important that the tank has not already been infected with diesel fungus otherwise a kill dose should be used instead. Each time the tank is refilled or topped up, Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner should be added at a ratio of 1.5% of the top up volume.

HOW DO I GET RID OF DIESEL BUG?
If the tank is already infected then the following steps should be followed:
• If there is only a small amount of stored diesel in the storage tank it is often better to empty the tank entirely and thoroughly clean the tank. DISPOSE of the waste diesel as pumping back in will re-infect the tank.
• If disposing of the contents of the tank is not an option then add Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner at a ratio of 4% of the volume of diesel being treated. Ensure the product is mixed through the diesel then allow it to sit for 24hrs. The fuel can then be used but is important to use a filtering device when pumping the diesel out as the dead fungus will fall to the bottom of the tank. When the tank has reached your defined low point, dispose of the leftover diesel and thoroughly clean the tank before refilling. Continue to treat the diesel at the maintenance level to ensure the fuel does not become infected again.
It is important to note that Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner will not help in cases where the diesel is exposed to large amounts of water. Tanks that are heavily infected with bug may require 2 kill doses.
HOW CAN I PREVENT DIESEL BUG?
• Use Bi-Tron Diesel Conditioner regularly in all tanks where diesel is stored
• Ensure tanks are kept full where possible as this reduces the space where moisture can accumulate. Maintaining a tank at half full allows water to build up which in turn promotes diesel fungus and corrosion in the top half of the tank.
• Tank maintenance – ensure tanks are cleaned regularly to remove moisture, dirt and other particles that can collect.
• Do not store fuel beyond its storage time – in the case of diesel no longer than 12months in cooler climates and between 6-12months in warm humid climates.
• Where the facility exists, water should be removed from the tanks weekly.
• Ensure tanks have a well defined low point where water can collect and be drained.
