Emission levels and limits on the sulphur content of marine fuels are leading to the increasing use of lower sulphur diesel fuels, worldwide. These fuels are prone to create lacquer on liners which may lead to cylinder condition degradation, followed by a large increase in oil consumption.

You can wave goodbye to these problems and their outcome, increased maintenance and running costs, with Infineum F7450 and Infineum F7451 – the innovative marine fuel additives that help keep vessels on the water. Infineum F7450 and Infineum F7451 are recommended for any model of four or two stroke marine engines burning distillate diesel fuel.

Infineum F7450 delivers extra detergency to the top of the cylinder and also acts as a catalyst for the combustion of soot. The benefits of this fuel additive package include:

• Control of liner lacquer and bore polishing
• Stable oil consumption in four stroke engines
• A reduction of piston deposits
• Lower smoke emissions
• A reduction of soot in the receiver box of two stroke engines
• Reduced lube oil fouling
• Can be used in all gasoils/marine diesel gasoil

Field trial experience has shown improvements in lacquer control, bore polish control, lubricating oil consumption and black smoke reduction when the fuel is treated with Infineum F7450. The performance demonstrated in these controlled field trials has been fully validated by over four years commercial product supply in Europe, and Asia Pacific.

A sister product, Infineum F7451, provides all the performance benefits of Infineum F7450 together with delivering additional lubricity performance to low sulphur marine distillate fuels.

Details of trials in marine operation are available – trial results.
