Combustion Chamber Deposits and Dirty Fuel Injectors Lower Performance and Increase Emissions All internal combustion engines burn some oil. Older engines will burn more than newer engines, which are manufactured to much higher tolerances. Over time, the oil that finds its way into the combustion chamber, as blow-by past the piston rings and past the valve stems, will form hard carbon deposits known as Combustion Chamber Deposits (CCD). The use of lower grade engine oils that are very volatile and have a low evaporation point accelerate deposit formation. These CCD are robing the engine of performance and increase exhaustion emissions.

The increase in emissions is caused when traces of gasoline (or diesel) are absorbed by the carbon deposits. Without enough time to fully combust, these traces exit the combustion chamber when the exhaustion valve opens and unburned hydrocarbon, increasing HC emissions. And if large amounts of carbon deposits coat the catalytic converter substrate, converter efficiency is greatly diminished and HC, CO and NOX emissions increase. This is probably the main cause for failed emissions tests. Furthermore, CCD promote engine knocking and pinging. As carbon deposits on pistons and combustion chamber walls heat up, they eventually start to glow, creating a situation where uncontrolled combustion initiation (knocking) takes place. Continued operation under these conditions will eventually destroy an engine. Deposit formation in the combustion chamber will also increase the compression of an engine, further increasing the possibility of engine knocking.

As fuel injectors get dirty and gum-up, the injector spray pattern deteriorates and fuel atomization cannot be assured. When fuel droplet size increases, total available surface area for the oxygen molecules decreases. This situation leaves a certain amounted of fuel energy unused, greatly reducing engine performance and increasing exhaust emissions.

PowerBoost® from Nology contains a mixture of cleaning agents, solvents and enzymes that will dissolve and remove deposits on pistons, combustion chamber walls, valves, and catalytic converts, restoring engine performance and lowering emissions. Continued use will prevent the reformation of deposits assuring prolonged efficient and low-polluting engine operation.

Furthermore, PowerBoost® is a catalyst that improves fuel/air mixture formation, which together with the cleaning of fuel injectors and the restoration of injector spray patterns, assures excellent fuel atomization. A homogeneous fuel/air mixture has the same effect as higher octane fuel, allowing higher compression or a higher turbo/supercharger boost.

PowerBoost® increases fuel efficiency and engine performance, and lowers exhaust emissions. It is completely harmless to catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, and is EPA approved. And since only 1 ounce of concentrate per every 10 gallons of gasoline is necessary, PowerBoost® is very economical and great for preventive maintenance.
