Application:
Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer is a multifunctional, ultra-low sulfur compliant diesel fuel additive
formulated to prevent and control the formation of asphaltenes and other unstable compounds. These
compounds, caused by the extreme pressures and temperatures encountered in high pressure
common rail fuel injection systems, can lead to the formation of deposits which plug fuel filters and foul
injectors. Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer has 3X the detergency needed to provide clean-up and
keep clean performance, as shown by the Peugeot DW-10 Injector Depositing Test.
Although Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer is developed for new model vehicles it can be used in any
diesel powered vehicle and in all types of diesel fuel including low sulfur diesel fuel and biodiesel
blends.
Features and Benefits:
Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer contains a highly concentrated multi-functional additive package,
which provides the following performance benefits when used at the recommended treatment ratio:
1. Improves fuel efficiency
2. Restores, improves and maintains horsepower
3. 3X the detergency needed for Clean-up & Keep clean performance proven in the Peugeot
DW-10 Injector Depositing Test
4. Improvement of the fuel’s cetane rating up to two points.
5. Excellent anti-wear protection for injectors and fuel pumps; supplemental ring and valvetrain anti-wear protection; and lubrication of the upper cylinders.
6. Inhibition of oxidation during storage for extended storage stability.
7. Rust and corrosion protection to the entire fuel system.
Coupled with this multifunctional additive package is a non-alcohol jet fuel deicer/water dispersant
which eliminates the problems associated with entrained and/or dissolved water present in the fuel by
dispersing the water into tiny droplets. These tiny droplets are suspended in the fuel so they can be
carried with the fuel in controlled amounts through the fuel filters, fuel lines, and into the combustion
chamber to be burned with the fuel. Because the remaining water is dispersed and suspended in the
fuel, Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer prevents the formation of stable fuel-water emulsions.
Increased Lubricity Protection with Synshield
Today’s diesel powered vehicles feature low emission engines that are more susceptible than ever to
diesel fuel related wear. Diesel engine designs are employing the use of higher fuel injection pressures,
hotter fuel return temperatures, higher operating temperatures and complex engine geometry to control
emissions. All of these factors result in increased fuel system wear and can shorten engine life.

The mandate of the United States EPA to reduce the sulfur content of diesel fuels to control emissions
has resulted in the elimination of certain naturally occurring, polar compounds that protect the fuel
system from wear by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces of the fuel injection system. The
increased use of the hydrotreating and hydrocracking refining processes to produce the maximum 15
ppm ultra low sulfur diesel fuel causes these naturally occurring polar compounds to become either
chemically altered or completely removed which leads to increased engine and fuel system wear.
Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer is blended with Schaeffer’s proprietary lubricity additive, Synshield
to protect today’s diesel engines from fuel system related wear. Synshield surpasses industry
standards for diesel fuel lubricity; and is the only lubricity additive that does not contain sulfur or sulfur
containing compounds to exceed the EPA’s new standard. Synshield prevents fuel system wear and
injector scoring by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces of the fuel system and injectors and
provides boundary lubrication between metallic parts in critical fuel system components. This protective
boundary lubrication film not only reduces friction and wear between the fuel system surfaces that are
in relative motion but also increases fuel system component life, thus leading to less downtime and
longer equipment life.
Treatment ratio:
One gallon Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer to 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel
0.67 gallons Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer to every 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel
0.5 gallons Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer to every 750 gallons of diesel fuel
8.5 ounces Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer to every 100 gallons of diesel fuel.
3.5 ounces Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer to every 40 gallons of diesel fuel
Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer is registered and meets US EPA requirements for blending into low
sulfur diesel fuels. When used at the recommended treatment ratio, Carbon Treat™ Premium Summer
will not cause a measurable effect on the cetane index, sulfur content or aromatic content of the fuel.
