CGX-4® is a highly effective additive for propane engine fuel that improves the burning characteristics of LP-gas for better performance and economy. Its innovative formulation produces a balanced compound of ashless organic compounds in a pure hydrocarbon solvent. Carburetors and vaporizers require constant service, but CGX-4's® unique cleaning power removes harmful deposits and prevents future buildup of long chain hydrocarbons and other contaminants that cause combustion problems, inadequate upper end lubrication, and pre-ignition in the combustion chamber. Costly repairs and downtime are greatly reduced. Use CGX-4® as part of your regular maintenance program by adding a small amount to bulk storage tanks or individual vehicle tanks or cylinders. Only one ounce is required for 10 gallons of propane. Optimum dosage for large tanks is one gallon to 2000 gallons of LPG. Handy, easy-to-use injector units are available. Non-toxic CGX-4® contains no alcohol, and does not affect odorant. It is safe for all propane-powered engines, and leaves no harmful deposits in the combustion chamber.
At a quick glance, the alternatives to standard LPG-powered vehicles are either conversion to compressed natural-gas powered vehicles (a very expensive option), or replacement of your fleet with electricity-powered vehicles which have limited capabilities. However, there is a very inexpensive alternative that significantly reduces emissions of CO and other harmful gasses: A premium LPG treated with CGX-4®, which has been proven to reduce CO emissions significantly while literally paying for itself in reduced maintenance costs alone.
Why should you be concerned about CO emissions?
OSHA, realizing the serious health hazard of LPG, has set guidelines of carbon monoxide levels at 35 ppm. Corporations that allow employees to work in facilities violating these guidelines face serious fines and possible shutdown if they do not comply. Reducing CO emissions creates a healthier work environment and prevents these economic penalties. CGX-4® reduces carbon monoxide and particulate emissions, and helps maintain safe air levels for indoor operation. Companies very concerned about compliance with OSHA guidelines have adopted CGX-4® Premium Propane Fuel exclusively for their lift truck fleets. Major automobile firms, pulp and paper mills, and large shipping facilities, as well as heavy equipment manufacturers are finding reduced emissions using CGX-4® Premium Propane Fuel.
What about reduced maintenance costs and improved performance?
LPG, as it passes through carburetors and vaporizers, deposits heavy-end buildup, which inhibits performance and requires disassembly and cleanup of these components. This is a time consuming process that can disable vehicles in the fleet for prolonged periods. Labor costs to regularly clean these components can add significantly to the cost of maintaining each fork lift truck in the fleet. CGX-4® Premium Propane Fuel greatly reduces these buildups. Valves and upper end engine components do not get lubrication from the crank case, and LPG does not naturally provide proper lubrication to these components. This leads to greater wear and major engine failure. CGX-4® Premium Propane Fuel improves the lubrication of these components.
How does CGX-4® work?
CGX-4® has combustion-improving compounds that minimize pre-ignition in the combustion chamber prior to spark plug ignition of the fuel mixture. It also provides a more even burn upon ignition, increasing the efficiency of fuel combustion. Results include: higher pressures in the combustion chamber, increased power, more efficient fuel economy, and a very significant reduction in carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gasses. LPG often causes a buildup of long chain hydrocarbons in the engine's vaporizer and carburetor systems. As buildup increases, the fuel does not vaporize effectively. The emulsifiers in CGX-4® slowly soften and remove buildup, which can interfere with engine operation. This oil-soluble substance holds insoluble foreign matter in suspension so the heavy ends are carried through the vaporizer and carburetor and are burned during the combustion process. A surfactant takes care of free water found in most LPG by dispersing the water and other liquid impurities into colloidal-size particles in the LPG. The emulsifier retains the suspension through to final ignition, after which it is expelled with the exhaust gas. CGX-4® components lubricate the moving parts in the top of the combustion chamber that are not lubricated by crank case oil. This top oil is not completely vaporized in the combustion chamber because of its high flash point of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). This results in a light film coating to the cylinder walls, rings, and valves. The added lubrication increases engine efficiency, reduces operating temperatures, and prolongs engine life. Another noted benefit is extended life to all diaphragms, gaskets, and rubber parts due to the permeation and conditioning effects of top-oil. Steel tank deterioration can also be delayed due to top-oil penetration into the wall surfaces.
