According to Dave DiBerto, Global Fuels Business Manager for
Afton, “DIG engines can be prone to performance-robbing deposits
that form in fuel injectors.” DiBerto said, “In a DIG engine, the
fuel injector is located directly in the combustion chamber. This
is intended to improve fuel economy and power, but the
thermally-harsh environment can cause deposits that clog fuel
injection ports and actually reduce performance.”
Direct injection technology evolved in response to regulations
around lower exhaust emission and fuel economy standards.
Traditional port fuel injectors form deposits similar to DIG
injectors; however deposit formation tends to be less rapid because
they are located in a cooler part of the engine, upstream of the
intake valve.
DiBerto explained, “Afton has been testing DIG technology for
many years before it became a significant presence in the market.
The number of new cars with DIG technology continues to increase
making it the right time to introduce our solution to the
industry.”
Afton’s patented gasoline additive, specifically formulated for
DIG engines, dramatically reduces injector deposits. Ongoing use
also helps keep injectors clean. Afton’s new technology not only
provides these benefits in DIG engines, it also delivers
exceptional performance in conventional port fuel injection
systems.
