Ethanol Shield Makes a Huge Difference in Performance

03/16/11
Ethanol Shield, a synthetic fuel additive, protects your entire fuel system from the harmful effects of ethanol blended fuel as well as cleans varnish and carbon deposits from the fuel tank to the tailpipe! Ethanol Shield treats the problem not the symptom. Ethanol Shield comes with a guarantee to start. The benefits of Ethanol Shield are extensive and include:


* Envelopes water molecules as they are introduced into the fuel system, preventing them from bonding with the Ethanol. By enveloping the water it now pass harmless through the fuel system, including all filters and screens, to be vaporized in the combustion chamber. This process  puts an end to the majority of problems we see with phase separation that leads to the corrosive effects we see with ethanol.

* Dual lubricants that condition the rubber and plastic components, they also rejuvenate and protect the rubber gaskets and seals that may have been dried our form ethanol. After the lubricants are burned in the combustion chamber a synthetic lubricant is left lubricating the entire upper combustion chamber such as piston rings and valves.

* Acts as a Fuel Preservative by adding antioxidants into the fuel because ethanol blended fuel (E-10) it is rich in oxygen. It also acts as a fuel catalysis by keeping the hydrocarbon chains short, preventing the fuel from decomposing prematurely.

* Creates a better bond between ethanol blended fuel (E-10) and 2 cycle oil. All 2 cycle oils do not bond well with ethanol, hence the reasoning most manufactures recommend not to go over 10% ethanol content and to shake your 2 cycle oil gas mixture before running.

Ethanol Shield is available at all Scott's Power Equipment locations.
