I chose to do this three times but managed to save the cost of having the engine replaced.
Additive to remove water from engine oil.
P let s discuss nine steps you can take to keep your heating oil system up and running while defending against the damaging effects of water in your tank as you can see there are many ways you can help prevent water issues in the future.
That water probably came into the oil through a blown head gasket.
These oil tank additives are typically alcohol based and naturally absorb water.
Unlike other fuel treatments the 50 some year old fuel additive k 100 actually allows the water to emulsify.
Use the basic physical principles of oil in water to remove the water and end up with useful motor oil.
As a tool a centrifuge is relatively expensive.
When added to fuel k100 bonds itself to the water molecules and encapsulates them.
The greater the difference in specific gravity between the contaminant and the oil the more effective the process.
Dirty motor oil may settle to the bottom because of the increased weight of metal particles.
A single purchase provides you with 32 ounces worth of product for all your needs and demands.
It s great for cleaning out engine deposits and reversing drops in fuel efficiency.
Water is denser than fuel so in its separated state it will remain on the bottom of your fuel tank.
The lucas engine oil works well with vehicles of all kinds and can be used together with synthetic semi synthetic and petroleum motor oils.
Some additives are not only designed to absorb water but to break up sludge as well.
The vacuum dehydration process figure 3 lowers the partial pressure which assists in removing the water from the oil.
To use it you simply pour the additive into your tank and let it go to work.
Poke a few holes in a 2 liter bottle cap with a pushpin.
Pour the contaminated motor oil into the 2 liter bottle and twist the cap on securely.
As your engine runs the water burns along with the fuel releasing steam which in turn actually helps clean your engine.
Drain the engine the same way as you would when doing an oil change remove the drain plug in the oil pan.
Turning the non combustible fluid into a burnable organic compound.
This will depend to some extent on the type of additive package as some water will be held in suspension in the oil.
Change the head gaskets drain engine replace plug flush engine drain engine replace plug add new oil run engine 15 20 minutes drain that oil out and repeat the flush drain process.
These breathers combine a woven polyester media that filters particles as small as 3 microns with usually silica gel desiccant to remove water vapor from the air.
One way you can absorb water is with a water dispersant additive.
The result is relative humidity levels within the reservoir head space that make condensation unlikely therefore eliminating water ingression at this point.
