BIO-LUBE
On June 1, 2006, the EPA lowered the level of allowable sulphur in petroleum diesel fuel. The new standard is 15 ppm. Lubricity analysis has indicated that the new 15 ppm low sulfur diesel fuel will exhibit lower lubricity than found in 500 ppm diesel fuel. Some engine manufacturers have proven that a single tank of diesel fuel with extremely low lubricity can cause the diesel fuel injection pump to fail catastrophically. Research indicates that using 1%-2% blends of biodiesel mixed with petroleum diesel fuel increases lubricity. Tests using a 2% blend of biodiesel reduced the wear scar diameter by almost 60% (from 513 to 200 microns).

HyPower has developed a manufacturing process which produces an organic diesel fuel lubrication additive - Bio-Lube. The manufacturing process is very fast and cost efficient. Bio-Lube will pass ASTM standards (6751-03) and the more stringent European (EN14214) biodiesel standards and meet the need for two applications:
  • Diesel fuel lubrication - increases lubricity to protect diesel fuel injectors and pumps
  • Two stroke oil - replaces hydrocarbon 2-stroke oils. This organic product reduces harmful toxic emissions and gives superior lubrication
