Today’s fleet managers face an unprecedented challenge: a growing shortage of skilled mechanics. With fewer hands available to perform essential maintenance and repairs, fleet managers must take proactive steps to keep engines running efficiently and avoid costly downtime. One of the most effective—and often overlooked—ways to do this is by maintaining clean, well-treated fuel systems.
The Importance of Clean Fuel Systems
Engines rely on clean fuel to operate at peak efficiency. Over time, deposits can accumulate in fuel injectors, lines, and combustion chambers, reducing performance, increasing fuel consumption, and necessitating more frequent repairs. In a tight labor market, even minor engine issues can create significant operational headaches.
OPT-AD All-Season Fuel Additive
Advanced Fuel Solutions is helping fleet managers meet these challenges head-on with OPT-AD (Optimum Performance Technology-All Season Diesel). Our advanced fuel additive offers several benefits:
Keeps Fuel Systems Clean – Removes harmful deposits from the intense temperatures associated with high-pressure common rail fuel injector systems.
Improves Engine Efficiency – Promotes smoother combustion by increasing power and reducing fuel consumption, and extending preventative maintenance intervals.
Prevents Corrosion – Protects fuel system components from rust and oxidation.
Ensures Year-Round Reliability – Formulated for all temperatures, so engines run efficiently whether in summer heat or winter cold.
Proactive Maintenance Pays Off
If you’re a fleet manager, you need to take control of the quality of the fuel you use in your trucks, buses, and heavy equipment. Incorporating an all-season fuel additive like OPT-AD into regular maintenance routines can reduce the frequency of repairs, minimize downtime, and keep your fleet performing at its best—even with limited access to mechanics.
