NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS – Ethanol blended gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel need more than just a stabilizer to help protect marine engines over the winter, according to ValvTect Petroleum, the nation’s leading supplier of marine grade gasoline, diesel fuel and fuel additives.
Ethanol blended gasoline can contain up to 30 times more water than non-ethanol gasoline, which can cause corrosion and phase separation (drop out of the ethanol and water to the bottom of the fuel tank) over the winter. It also destabilizes much faster and that gums up carburetors and injectors. “While most conventional stabilizers can keep ethanol blended gasoline stable, they don’t have a corrosion inhibitor to prevent corrosion or chemistry to help keep the ethanol and water from separating from the fuel,” said ValvTect President Jerry Nessenson.
ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment contains the most advanced and proven technology to prevent corrosion, control moisture and stabilize the fuel.
Ultra low sulfur diesel also contains more water and is less stable than the former higher sulfur diesel fuel. “The biggest problem with ultra low sulfur diesel is that it is much more susceptible to bacteria growth that plugs filters and can cause corrosion,” Nessenson said.
Previously, to mitigate the negative effects of ultra low sulfur fuel, diesel boaters would have to add several different additives such as a biocide, moisture dispersant, corrosion inhibitor and a stabilizer. “With the introduction of ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™, our new multifunctional biocide that contains BioGuard biocide plus a stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, moisture dispersant, lubricity improver and cetane improver, boaters can now use one convenient product that has all the components and in the correct ratio,” Jerry Nessenson said.
ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment and BioGuard Plus 6 are available at West Marine and marine dealers nationwide. For more information about ValvTect products, visit www.valvtect.com or call 1+847.272.2278.

NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) JULY 18, 2011 - ValvTect Petroleum, the USA’s largest manufacturer and supplier of fuel additives to gasoline and diesel distributors, the nation’s largest fleets, railroads, engine manufacturers and several refineries, announced today that over one billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel were treated with its ValvTect and Diesel Guard fuel additives last year.
“To put this in perspective, one billion gallons of fuel is more than enough fuel to power every car, truck, power boat and piece of farm and construction equipment in the United States for more than two days,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect. “We are very proud to reach this milestone. It is especially gratifying since, due to the economy and high fuel prices, demand for gasoline and diesel is still off as much as 20% in some markets, including marine and over the road diesel fuel,” he added.
While most people in the marine industry know the ValvTect name through ValvTect Marine Fuels that are sold at many of the nation’s marinas and ValvTect aftermarket products, ValvTect Diesel Guard, AgriGuard and ThermoGuard brands enjoy major shares of the fleet, truck stop, farm fuel and heating oil markets. The company also supplies several refineries and produces private label additives for some of the world’s largest engine manufacturers.
“Many fuel additives in the market today use unproven technology and/or do not meet petroleum industry and/or engine manufacturer standards. These products promise to restore bad or phase separated fuel, which is not possible and can even be unsafe. Frankly, since problems such as corrosion, engine deposits and phase separation can take a long period of time to develop, the suppliers of these additive products can get away with producing inferior or potentially damaging products,” Nessenson said.
Every ValvTect, Diesel Guard and ThermoGuard product is formulated with the same fuel additive technology that is used by virtually every refiner in the world and approved by every engine manufacturer. “Our products are rigorously tested under ASTM, SAE and other petroleum industry standards and protocols to meet performance and long term, no harm standards. This process assures our distributors, dealers and consumers that ValvTect has completed all the necessary due diligence tests and our products will provide the performance and benefits as claimed,” Nessenson said.
“ValvTect Petroleum will celebrate our 25th anniversary soon. We want to thank all our customers for the confidence and support they have provided over the years and we look forward to being of service in the future,” Nessenson concluded.

ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™ prevents bacteria and solves all other
diesel fuel related problems - eliminates need for multiple products
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS, JUNE 23, 2011 – Jerry Nessenson, president of ValvTect Petroleum, announced today that ValvTect has received formal approval for the registration and sale of ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™ multifunctional biocide diesel additive from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and in all 50 states.
“Prior to the EPA’s approval of ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6, all biocides registered for use in ultra low sulfur diesel fuel were single function biocides designed to only kill or prevent bacteria. Now boaters can use BioGuard Plus 6, a single formula, multifunctional biocide that also includes a stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, moisture dispersant, detergent, cetane improver and lubricity improver, all in one convenient container,” Nessenson said.
PHOTO CAPTION: EPA approves ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™, the only biocide that prevents bacteria and provides six other benefits.
Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, now required by the EPA to be sold by virtually all marinas, contains less than 15 parts per million (a 90% reduction) of sulfur and is better for the environment. However, it can cause a multitude of fuel related problems and requires more than just a biocide that only prevents bacteria.
Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel quickly becomes unstable and contains a high moisture content that leads to corrosion, sludge and plugged fuel filters. More importantly, the sulfur in high sulfur diesel fuel lubricated the fuel injectors and fuel pump. The lack of lubrication can cause expensive premature failure of injectors and fuel pumps unless the ultra low sulfur diesel is treated with a lubricity improver.
“To offset the multiple problems that can be caused by ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, boaters have been forced to use several products. This has been a confusing, inconvenient and expensive process. ValvTect’s BioGuard Plus 6 contains BioGuard micro-biocide and six other additional components, including a lubricity improver, all compatible and in the correct ratios, to provide boaters with the best protection at the lowest cost,” Jerry Nessenson said.
BioGuard Plus 6 is now available at West Marine and other marine supply dealers across the US in quart containers that treat 375 gallons and one gallon containers that treat 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel. For more information, visit www.valvtect.com, call 1+800.728.8258 (US) or email valvtect@valvtect.com.

Can Cause Even More Pain At the Pump
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) – With fuel prices expected to stay at high levels throughout the boating season, getting the most mileage out of each gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel is more important than ever.
Most boaters are aware of fundamental things they can do to improve fuel economy and reduce fuel consumption such as: reducing speed; lightening the load; having a clean bottom (hull); properly setting the trim tabs or outdrives; and using the proper size and pitched prop.
“However, most boaters don't know that engine deposits - unburned fuel called “gunk” - can significantly increase fuel consumption,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum, the USA’s leading supplier of marine grade gasoline and diesel fuel to marinas.
“An engine gets its best fuel economy when it is new and free of deposits. As an engine burns fuel, it develops carbon deposits on valves, pistons, carburetors and fuel injectors that cause the engine to burn more fuel and emit more harmful exhaust emissions than a new deposit free engine. But only a few engines are new and free of deposits, so using a fuel that can prevent and clean-up engine deposits can significantly reduce fuel consumption,” Nessenson added.
“Deposits have an even greater negative impact in marine engines than automotive engines as they operate at much higher RPMs and loads, can use up to 10 times more fuel per hour and develop more harmful deposits,” Nessenson said. “Automotive grade gasoline contains some detergent additive to help keep the engine’s fuel system clean, but typically not enough detergent to prevent deposits from forming in a marine engine’s fuel system. Truck grade diesel fuel typically does not contain any detergent additive,” he added.
ValvTect Marine Gasoline contains ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment and ValvTect Marine Diesel contains ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6. Both additives contain ValvTect’s proprietary detergent additives that are designed to keep deposits from forming and clean-up existing deposits to help restore the engine’s fuel system to a “like new” condition. Both have been proven by independent testing to reduce harmful exhaust emissions and reduce fuel consumption. “Achieving even a small reduction in fuel consumption, say three (3) percent, would be equivalent to saving 13 cents per gallon, based on a fuel cost of $4.50 per gallon,” Jerry Nessenson said.
ValvTect Marine Fuels are specially formulated to meet the heavy demands and operating conditions of marine engines. They can only be purchased at Certified ValvTect Marinas. ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment and BioGuard Plus 6 that are contained in ValvTect Marine Fuels can be purchased in aftermarket containers at most marine supply stores across the US.

Helps Prevent Ethanol Gasoline Problems
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) – ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment can help boat owners avoid problems that can be caused by ethanol blended gasoline. Ethanol gasoline can destabilize very quickly, cause corrosion and some problems to the fuel delivery systems and engine components.
Many gasoline stabilizers provide improved stabilization, but they don’t provide protection against corrosion and phase separation. To help prevent the damaging effects of ethanol, ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment is specially formulated to provide stabilization (for up to two years), prevent corrosion of internal engine components and help prevent phase separation.
In independent laboratory tests, ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment improved the stability of E10 gasoline (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline) by 186%, received a perfect A rating (the best possible rating) for corrosion prevention and showed the ability to retain moisture and ethanol in E10 fuel that can help prevent phase separation. VT8000 gasoline detergent cleans injectors and intake valves to restore power and decrease fuel consumption.

Booth Q66, Miami Beach Convention Center, February 17-21
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) – ValvTect Petroleum, the leading manufacturer of marine grade fuels and fuel additives which are specially-formulated for marine engines and marine operating conditions, will feature its ValvTect Marine Fuels and ValvTect Marine Fuel additives at the 2011 Miami International Boat Show, February 17-21 (Booth Q66, Miami Beach Convention Center).
With ethanol blended gasoline making up over 80% of the nation’s gasoline supply, traditional gasoline stabilizers that only stabilize the fuel but do not protect against corrosion and dreaded phase separation are not effective.
ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment not only provides stabilization of ethanol gasoline for up to two years, it also helps prevent corrosion of internal engine components and phase separation. To prove the total performance of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment, ValvTect Petroleum authorized a series of laboratory tests at one of the nation’s most prestigious independent petroleum laboratories. In addition to ValvTect’s ethanol treatment improving the stability of the E10 (90% gasoline plus 10% ethanol) by 186%, it also received a perfect A rating for corrosion prevention and showed the ability to retain moisture and ethanol in the E10 fuel that can help prevent phase separation. It also contains premium gasoline detergent to prevent and clean-up engine deposits (gunk) to improve engine power, performance and fuel economy.
New ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™ is the only biocide approved by the U.S. EPA that also includes additional components to solve all other diesel fuel related problems.
BioGuard Plus 6 eliminates the need to use multiple fuel additives needed to treat the new ultra low sulfur diesel fuel for marine use. It ensures the correct ratio of each component and reduces the cost versus using multiple fuel additives.
BioGuard Plus 6™ prevents bacteria, algae and other biological contamination plus:
• Stabilizes up to 2 years.
• Prevents corrosion.
• Lubricates pumps & injectors to prevent premature wear.
• Disperses moisture to prevent corrosion and sludge to double fuel filter life.
• Prevents and cleans-up injector deposits which can improve fuel economy up to 6% and reduce harmful exhaust emissions.
• Increases cetane to reduce smoke, soot and harmful exhaust emissions.
BioGuard Plus 6 is the only diesel fuel additive that treats bacterial and all diesel fuel related problems. It is available in 32oz (946 ml) that treats 375 gallons and 1 gallon (3.79 liters) container that treats 1500 gallons of diesel fuel.
About ValvTect Marine Fuels
ValvTect Petroleum supplies over almost 600 ValvTect Certified Marinas across the U.S. and the Caribbean with ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel that are specially-formulated for marine engines to prevent fuel related problems from ethanol blended gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
Before a marina is allowed to sell ValvTect Marine Fuels and up to twice a year thereafter, they must have their fuel storage tanks tested for bacteria, water and other contamination. Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks treated, cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels. Marinas that pass the test are then “Certified” and awarded a “Certificate of Contamination Free Storage Tanks” that can be displayed on the fuel dock to tell boaters their fuel storage tanks meet ValvTect’s quality control requirements.

Octane Boost: A True Octane Improver for High Performance
Marine Engines From ValvTect
High performance marine engines need a higher octane gasoline. ValvTect Octane Boost is a true octane improver that can increase gasoline octane up to two full octane numbers. It contains EPA-approved MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl) which is used by gasoline refiners to increase gasoline octane. It is safe to handle and approved for all two and four-cycle marine engines.
ValvTect Octane Boost also contains premium gasoline detergent which prevents carbon deposits (gunk) to keep injectors, carburetors & valves clean that improves overall engine performance and can reduce fuel consumption.
ValvTect Octane Boost is available in a convenient 32 oz. (946 ml) container that treats up to 140 gallons (530 liters) of gasoline versus automotive products that only treat 12 to 20 gallons. It is available at West Marine and other marine supply distributors, dealers and marinas nationwide.

ValvTect Petroleum To Feature New BioGuard Plus 6™
At 2010 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
October 28-November 1
See at Booth 201, Bahia Mar
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - ValvTect Petroleum Products, the leading manufacturer of marine grade fuels and marine grade fuel additives which are specially-formulated for marine engines and marine operating conditions, will feature its new BioGuard Plus 6™ diesel fuel additive at the 2010 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28-November 1 (Booth 201, Bahia Mar).
New ValvTect BioGuard Plus 6™ is the only multifunctional biocide approved by the U.S. EPA that also includes six additional components. It is the only diesel fuel additive formulated to prevent bacteria and solve all other diesel fuel related problems.
BioGuard Plus 6 eliminates the need to use multiple fuel additives to treat ultra low sulfur diesel fuel for marine use. It ensures the correct ratio of each component and reduces the cost versus using multiple fuel additives.
BioGuard Plus 6™ prevents bacteria, algae and other biological contamination plus:
1. Stabilizes up to 2 years.
2. Prevents corrosion.
3. Lubricates pumps & injectors to prevent premature wear of injectors and fuel pumps.
4. Disperses moisture to prevent corrosion and sludge to double fuel filter life.
5. Prevents and cleans up injector deposits, which can improve fuel economy up to 6% and reduce harmful exhaust emissions.
6. Increases cetane to reduce smoke, soot and harmful exhaust emissions.
Available in 32oz (946 ml) that treats 375 gallons and 1 gallon (3.79 liters) that treats 1500 gallons of diesel fuel.
Also at FLIBS 2010: ValvTect Octane Boost
For high performance marine engines needing higher octane gasoline, ValvTect Octane Boost can increase gasoline octane number up to two full numbers and clean up fuel system deposits.
Higher octane gasoline is needed in high performance engines to prevent detonation, improve engine power output and over-all engine performance and can reduce fuel consumption.
ValvTect Octane Boost contains MMT, approved by the EPA and used by most refiners to increase octane. It is safe to handle and recommended for both two and four-cycle marine engines. Available in 32 oz. (946 ml) containers that treats up to 140 gallons (530 liters) of gasoline.
About ValvTect Marine Fuels
ValvTect Petroleum supplies over 500 ValvTect Certified Marinas across the U.S. and the Caribbean with gasoline and diesel fuel that are specially-formulated for marine engines to prevent fuel-related problems from ethanol blended gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
Before a marina is allowed to sell ValvTect Marine Fuels and up to twice a year thereafter, they must have their fuel storage tanks tested for contamination, such as bacteria and water. Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks treated, cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels. Marinas that pass the test are then “Certified” and awarded a “Certificate of Contamination Free Storage Tank” that can be displayed on the fuel dock to tell boaters their fuel storage tanks meet ValvTect’s quality control requirements.

No E15 Fuel At ValvTect Certified Marinas
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - While E15 (15% ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel will be available at land-based gasoline stations where a large percentage of US boat owners fill their fuel tanks, it will not be sold at the gasoline fuel pumps at ValvTect Certified Marinas any time soon.
On October 13, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the sale and use of E15 for all 2007 and later automobiles and light duty trucks. The EPA’s approval did not include the use of E15 in marine engines until further tests are completed.
PHOTO CAPTION: Phase separation of ethanol and water from the gasoline can occur with ethanol blended gasoline.
“Although E15 is not approved for use in marine engines at this time, it is possible it may work its way into the marine industry. To be certain there is no misunderstanding, the sale of E15 will be strictly prohibited at all Certified ValvTect Marinas at this time,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum. “Violation of this policy will result in the marina being decertified as a Certified ValvTect Marina,” he added.
To warn boaters, the EPA will require pump labels with a warning that E15 should not be used in marine and other non-approved engines. However, boaters should be cautious and make sure to use a quality ethanol treatment, such as ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment, whenever they use an ethanol/gasoline blend.
“ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment is formulated to help prevent fuel related problems, such as poor stability, corrosion and phase separation with E10 and higher ethanol blends such as E15. However, no fuel additive can prevent compatibility problems with certain fuel hoses and fiberglass fuel tanks. Until the EPA completes its testing on marine engines and fuel systems with E15 and approves its use, we will not recommend the use of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment in E15 so as to not encourage the misuse of E15 fuel,” Nessenson said.
All ValvTect Marine Gasoline sold at ValvTect Certified Marinas is formulated with ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment. For boaters who fill their fuel tanks at land-based gas stations, ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment is available in aftermarket containers at marine supply stores nationwide.

BoatU.S., ValvTect Renew Co-Operative Fuel Program
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - BoatU.S., the USA’s largest organization of recreational boaters and ValvTect Marine Fuels, the largest supplier of marine fuel, have renewed a cooperative agreement that identifies BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas that are also Certified ValvTect Marinas.
Certified ValvTect Marinas participating in the BoatU.S. program are identified with the ValvTect Marine Fuel logo on their individual web pages on www.boatus.com/MSL.
Under the agreement, ValvTect also identifies each BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina at www.valvtect.com. “We are pleased to highlight BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas on our web site where BoatU.S. members can receive a discount on ValvTect Marine Fuels, as well as other products and services. As a lifelong boater and 35-year BoatU.S. member, I appreciate the many services BoatU.S. offers,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect.
“Our half a million members own a wide variety of boats with many types of engines, but they all want fuel that can stand up to harsh marine environments,” said BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina Program Manager David Mann. “ValvTect’s gasoline and diesel fuels help them avoid having a bad day on the water, giving them one less thing to worry about. It’s a smart partnership and just another way how we make boating better for our members,” he added.
Gasoline and diesel storage tanks at some marinas can contain excess water and other contaminants, such as bacteria, algae and water. These contaminants can be pumped into a boat’s fuel tank and can cause an engine to shut down or sustain permanent damage. The new grades of ethanol gasoline, ultra low-sulfur diesel and biodiesel can make this situation even worse. (PHOTO CAPTION: Fuel storage tanks at Certified ValvTect Marinas are tested for water, bacteria and other contamination up to twice a year.) Download a high res version of this image at: www.homeportmarine.com/news/valvtect/tanktest.zip.
To combat this problem, all Certified ValvTect Marinas must have their fuel tanks tested before they are allowed to sell ValvTect Marine Fuels and up to twice a year thereafter. “Our mandatory tank testing program, plus special hydroscopic fuel filters that are also required at all ValvTect Marinas’ fuel pumps, help ensure ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel are free of contamination such as water and bacteria. Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels,” Jerry Nessenson said. Marinas that pass the tank test are awarded a Certification of Contamination Free Storage Tank certificate that can be displayed on the fuel dock.

ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment:
EDITORS: Download a high res image of the ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline treatment bottle at: www.homeportmarine.com/news/valvtect/ethanol.zip.
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - With ethanol blended gasoline making up over 80% of the nation’s gasoline supply, traditional gasoline stabilizers that only stabilize the fuel do not provide the total protection needed to assure marine engines will be in top notch condition next spring.
Although many gasoline stabilizers provide improved stabilization, they do not also provide protection against corrosion and dreaded phase separation - both can ruin next years' boating season.
To provide protection against the ravaging effects of ethanol and entrained moisture over the log winter lay-up, ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment is the perfect winterizing solution that can provide stabilization for up to two years, help prevent corrosion of internal engine components and phase separation.
To prove the total performance of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment, ValvTect Petroleum authorized a series of laboratory tests at one of the nation’s most prestigious independent petroleum laboratories. In addition to ValvTect’s ethanol treatment improving the stability of the E10 (90% gasoline plus 10% ethanol) by 186%, it also received a perfect A rating for corrosion prevention and showed the ability to retain moisture and ethanol in the E10 fuel that can help prevent phase separation, especially during winter storage.
ValvTect will also help boaters save money with a $2.00 rebate per bottle that can be obtained in boating magazines including BoatUS Magazine, Boating and Soundings and at ValvTect’s web site. ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment can be purchased at West Marine and other marine supply stores nationwide.

ValvTect Completes Testing Marina Fuel Tanks For Contamination
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - Unfortunately, it is all too common for gasoline and diesel storage tanks at marinas to contain excess water and other contaminants, such as bacteria, algae and debris. These contaminants can be pumped into boaters’ fuel tanks and can cause an engine to shut down or permanent damage. The presence of ethanol gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel makes this situation even worse.
To combat this problem, all Certified ValvTect Marinas must have their fuel tanks tested before they are allowed to sell ValvTect Marine Fuels and up to twice a year thereafter. This testing, plus special hydroscopic fuel filters that are required to be installed on all ValvTect Marinas’ fuel pumps, helps ensure boaters that ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel are free of contamination.
Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks treated, cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels. Marinas that pass the test are awarded a “Certification of Free Storage Tank” certificate that can be proudly displayed on the fuel dock.
(PHOTO CAPTION: Fuel storage tanks at Certified ValvTect Marinas are tested for water, bacteria and other contamination up to twice a year.) Download a high res version of this image at: www.homeportmarine.com/news/valvtect/tanktest.zip.
“We believe the ValvTect Quality Control Certification program is the only program of its kind in the marine industry. While it is costly and time consuming, we believe it is essential to provide boaters marine grade fuel that will not only provide better performance, but also prevent fuel related engine problems caused by a contaminated fuel tank,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum.
Boaters can look for ValvTect’s certificate indicating the marina’s fuel tanks have been tested and certified free of contamination where ValvTect Marine Gasoline with Ethanol Gasoline Treatment and ValvTect Marine Diesel with BioGuard are sold. Both ValvTect fuels are specially formulated for marine engines to prevent ethanol and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel problems.
