FCS-27 · Diesel Fuel Treatment
FCS-27 is CM’s diesel fuel-treatment product. Assess it with your fuel, equipment and daily work, using an agreed treatment protocol and a clear measure of operating value.
Start with your diesel equipment
Start with the job your equipment does and the diesel it uses. Road fleets may track litres per 100 kilometres. Generators need fuel readings alongside electrical output and load.
Share the diesel grade, supplier, available fuel analysis, existing additives and equipment details. Fuel composition, storage and working conditions help determine compatibility.
What the technical library covers
CM’s technical library covers six areas of fuel performance. Each calls for its own measurement method.
- Fuel economy: fuel consumed per equivalent useful output.
- Deposit control: deposit measurements under a defined method.
- Lubricity and corrosion: method-specific wear or corrosion results.
- Fuel stability and water management: the recorded fuel and handling conditions.
- Ignition quality: the applicable fuel property and test method.
- Exhaust indicators: separately measured CO₂ and pollutant results.
Control product, dose and blending
Before testing, confirm the FCS-27 formulation, batch, treatment rate, dosing point and blending procedure. Record the amount of product added and the fuel volume treated. Follow the instructions agreed for your application.
The Houston CAT 3512 record includes a conditioning stage at 1:1000 and a formal test at 1:2000. Those are conditions in one historical record; a new application needs its own confirmed protocol.
Read the operating evidence
The Houston summary describes a 1,000 kW CAT 3512 generator at 80% load and keeps the three fuel-measurement results separate. The Beijing bus summary reports fuel consumption and exhaust indicators. Each result applies to the conditions of that test.
A local evaluation should compare equivalent work and account for treatment and implementation costs. Assess maintenance, uptime and equipment life through separate observations.
Prepare a diesel evaluation
Send the equipment model, location, fuel specification, typical duty and available fuel and output records. CM can then discuss compatibility, treatment and a suitable comparison.
Common questions
Is FCS-27 the gasoline product?
FCS-27 is the diesel product. FCS-28 is the separate gasoline product; use its product-specific guidance and supporting records.
Can I use a reported saving in my own forecast?
Treat a historical result as a reference for its documented conditions. Establish your own fuel use, equivalent output, treatment cost and repeatability before making an operating forecast.
