Rislone has released a fuel injector cleaner with an upper cylinder lubricant.
According to Rislone, the cleaner is designed to fix noisy fuel injectors and pumps, rough idles, hard starting, engine hesitation, reduced engine power, poor fuel economy and harsh fuels.
Super-concentrated Rislone Fuel Injector Cleaner with UCL is a complete fuel system tune-up, the company says.
It combines a unique blend of additives to clean and lubricate the entire fuel system and protect the engine.
According to the company, continued use of the cleaner in every tank of fuel offers full-time lubrication, reducing friction, wear and excess heat. It also reduces carbon build-up that can cause pre-ignition, power loss, burned valves and broken rings.
Rislone says its Fuel Injector Cleaner with UCL can be used with all gasoline, ULSD diesel and E85 Flex-Fuel engines.
It works with all unleaded, oxygenated, reformulated and bio fuels. It will not void any vehicle manufacturer’s warranty, the company says.
A standard dose is approximately three ounces per 10 gallons of fuel, and Rislone says the dosage can be doubled for vehicles with known fuel lubrication problems.

Waste Oil Cleaner
Dieselcraft Fluid Engineering’s Fuel Factory, a modular drum top centrifuge processing system driven by a gear pump, is designed to clean 216 gallons of waste oil per hour.
The system is built to clean waste motor oil, diesel fuel, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid and vegetable oil without any filters. It also will separate any solid from the liquid and remove water.
The device is built on a ÂĽ-in. powder-coated aluminum plate that holds the two centrifuges, pump, motor, switch and 12-in. pour opening.
The Fuel Factory is designed to fit inside and just below the top edge of a standard 55-gal. open top drum; by being below the top ½-in., there are fewer spills on the ground.
Pour the waste oil product through the pour opening, turn on the heater and turn on the pump; the processed oil then is pumped to the storage drum by use of the same pump that drives the centrifuges. The device is designed for easy removal from the drum.

All Steer/Position Radial Tire
Bridgestone Commercial Solutions (BCS) has launched the Firestone FS507 PLUS steer/all-position radial.
The FS507 PLUS is approved for use on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay-certified equipment and complies with California Air Resources Board (CARB) rules.
With the top layer of its twin-layer tread formulated for longer wear, the FS507 PLUS promotes excellent mileage, Bridgestone says. The lower layer of the tread helps shield the casing from damaging heat for extended life and retread ability.
Shoulder wear protector ribs are said to minimize cupping and step-down wear while stress-relief sipes claim to fight irregular wear and provide hundreds of biting edges to enhance traction.
The FS507 PLUS uses a deep original tread and casing construction with four steel belts and an all-steel body ply. The FS507 PLUS is available in both low profile and 90-series sizes. The low profile tread pattern has five ribs and the 90-series four ribs. Both are available in “G” and “H” load ratings.
