Product Features & Benefits

NewGen Technologies and ReFuel America utilize technology that is multi-functional and multi-purpose, allowing it to be used in a wide range of fuels including gasoline, diesel, Biodiesel and Ethanol. Products include proprietary formulae, designed to positively alter the combustion characteristics of the fuel. Because of the unique character of the proprietary formulae, the ReFuel formulations are designed to create a mono-layer on the fuel delivery system, increasing lubricity (reducing engine wear and tear) while the detergent character of the formulae is designed to prevent deposit formation on fuel injectors. The technology is also designed to result in greater atomization and efficiency of combustion, to provide increases in fuel economy and reductions in emissions.

Below are the descriptions of specific benefits intended from this new technology, which is achieved using components substantially and predominantly from petroleum sources:

• Lubricity - The reduction of sulfur and aromatics in modern fuels has led to lubricity problems in fuel delivery and combustion systems. ReFuels technology is designed to increase lubricity above the recommended standards to resolve these problems. Higher lubricity will reduce wear on the fuel system and will lower maintenance costs on the engine, injectors and fuel pump. In addition, enhanced fuel lubricity will allow the engine to run with improved efficiency.
  
  
• Detergency - Modern fuel standards mean that all fuels should contain a recommended amount of detergent. ReFuel products have detergent components that support these standards. Together with lubricity enhancement, this is intended to enable more complete combustion. This is especially effective with diesel fuels and can substantially reduce black smoke and particulate matter without decreasing power and torque.
  
  
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions - 100% complete combustion leaves only residues of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Carbon dioxide is recognized as a major contributor to global warming. Incomplete combustion produces nitrogen oxides (NOx) that may lead to ozone problems, and unburned hydrocarbons, a carcinogen. ReFuel products are designed to provide more complete combustion and increase fuel efficiency. When less fuel has to be burned for the same power output, less CO2 and NOx are released into the atmosphere.
  
  
• Co-solvency - A designed benefit of ReFuel's technology is the ability to suspend water in fuel as a complete homogeneous solution. This 'cools the charge' in the combustion chamber which can provide more effective, efficient, and complete combustion. This can also reduce the prospects of short-lived fuel injectors that can fail when water passes through them.
  
  
• Storage & Handling Contamination - Use of ReFuel technology in fuel storage tanks and fuel systems can help to prevent microbial contamination by eliminating phase separation. This can help reduce blocked filters when the fuel is pumped through the fuel system. The effect of these benefits is a reduction in the need for biocides that are expensive and difficult to handle.
  
  
• Corrosion Inhibitors - ReFuel's technology has been designed, as part of its multifunctional purpose, to behave as a natural corrosion inhibitor. Corrosion in fuel storage systems and engines has been caused by free water in the fuel supply. Ethanol blends tend to attract more water. ReFuel's technology is designed to eliminate corrosion caused by this water by homogenizing the water into the fuel to keep free water at a minimum in the fuel system.
