Degraded fuel presents a major
maintenance issue in small engines and powersports
equipment. It can form varnish, gum and insoluble
debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and
fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops
of pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling
and poor throttle response. Fuel-related problems
are only expected to intensify in the coming years
as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues
to increase.
AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is a
premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly
clean and restore peak performance in small engine
and powersports equipment fuel systems. It also
stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term
storage periods. Its revolutionary technology
focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing
small engines and powersports equipment: ethanol,
water and dirty pump gas.
Ethanol
Ethanol in fuel has a tendency to absorb water and
separate from the gasoline, sinking to the bottom
of the gas tank, where it quickly degrades and
creates gum, varnish and other insoluble debris
that can plug fuel flow passages and negatively
affect engine performance. When this ethanol/water
mixture is pulled
into the engine, it creates a lean burn situation
that increases combustion chamber temperatures and
can lead to engine damage. AMSOIL Quickshot SE is
designed to keep water dispersed throughout the
tank, moving it out as a normal part of operation
and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating
from the gasoline.
Quickshot SE was tested in fuel
containing 10 percent ethanol. Controlled plugging
of injectors showed a 70 percent flow improvement,
while oxidation stability improved 44 percent over
untreated fuel.
Water
Water finds its way into gas tanks through
condensation in tanks open to the atmosphere, gas
pumps and other environmental conditions, and if
left untreated, will cause a myriad of starting,
performance and corrosion problems. By keeping
water dispersed in tiny molecules and safely moving
it out of the tank through the combustion chamber,
Quickshot SE helps maintain engine performance and
protects against damaging corrosion.
Dirty Gasoline
Dirty gasoline causes fuel system gumming and
varnish, as well as piston and combustion chamber
deposits. Although all gasoline sold in the U.S. is
formulated with a lowest additive concentration
(LAC) level of detergent additives, these detergent
levels are not enough to prevent deposits from
building up on critical fuel system components.
Quickshot SE contains unique chemistry that quickly
detaches and carries away deposits and buildups in
fuel systems, injectors and carburetors, while also
cleaning hard-to-remove deposits on piston tops,
spark plugs and other combustion chamber parts.
Applications
Quickshot SE is recommended for use in all two- and
four-stroke gasoline-powered engines, including
motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, personal
watercraft, ATVs, edgers, tillers, mowers,
snowblowers, chainsaws, generators and farm and
construction equipment. However, AMSOIL P.i.
Performance Improver is the superior choice for
passenger vehicle applications.
Recommendations
Quickshot SE is designed for an initial clean-up
dose of 8 oz. per 6 gallons of gasoline, followed
by 8 oz. per 12 gallons thereafter.
