P.i. ranks among the most potent gasoline additives available today. As a concentrated detergent, it is outstanding in cleaning combustion chamber deposits, intake valve deposits and port fuel injector deposits, eliminating the need for expensive fuel injector cleaning procedures.

It is ideal for use prior to emissions inspections, and it helps maintain peak engine efficiency, fuel economy, power and drivability in newer low mileage engines. In engines with accumulated deposits, P.i. provides up to 5.7 percent improved fuel mileage after only one tank of gasoline. A single treatment of P.i. also delivers reduced emissions, restored power and performance, reduced need for higher octane fuel, reduced carbon rap and preignition, better drivability and smoother operation.

For best performance, fuel should be treated with AMSOIL Quickshot as a preventative measure. Quickshot is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the fuel tank, moving it out as a normal part of operation and decreasing the chance of phase separation. Not only that, Quickshot helps clean deposits that have formed in fuel systems, injectors and carburetors, while also cleaning piston tops, spark plugs and combustion chambers.

Unlike many competing fuel additives, Quickshot is extremely potent and not diluted. It provides some of the most effective cleaning action available today, making it an all around great product for motorcycles and other powersports equipment and lawn equipment.

Fuel maintenance is already a big issue and will only become more prevalent. Currently, most gasoline sold in the U.S. contains up to 10 percent ethanol (E10), and government agencies and lawmakers have been debating increasing ethanol levels to 15 percent (E15). As such, riders need to be aware of their environments. Because ethanol is very susceptible to water intrusion, bikes should not be stored in damp or wet environments. When water is allowed to collect in the gas tank, the bond between ethanol and gasoline can breakdown, causing a phenomenon known as phase separation.

The ethanol bonds with the water and sinks to the bottom of the fuel tank, which can create a whole host of problems, including the formation of gums, varnish and other insoluble debris that can plug fuel flow passages and negatively affect engine performance. When this ethanol/water mixture is pulled into the engine, it creates a lean burn situation that increases combustion chamber temperatures and can lead to engine damage. Once this happens there is no easy or inexpensive fix. To avoid these problems, contaminated fuel should be emptied and refilled with fresh fuel and AMSOIL Quickshot.

Each fall, over 100,000 automotive specialty products industry leaders from more than 100 countries gather at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show to showcase and demonstrate products, attend seminars and special events and take advantage of networking opportunities. With Dave McClelland of Hot Rod TV and the Voice of SEMA leading the awards program, AMSOIL Quickshot SE was announced as the winner of the Best New Powersports Product Award.

AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is formulated to thoroughly clean varish, gums and insoluble debris in two- and four-stroke gasoline powered small engines and powersports equipment fuel systems, restoring peak performance. It effectively addresses performance issues related to ethanol, water and dirty pump gas, and stabilizers fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods.

Example, a four-cylinder engine could have two plugged injectors, while the other two may only be mildly plugged or not plugged at all. The oxygen sensor indicates to the computer that the engine is not receiving enough fuel, so it increases the fuel supply to all four cylinders. Now the two injectors that weren’t plugged are providing more fuel than necessary. As a result, it creates a situation where two cylinders are running rich and the other two are running lean. Removing fuel injector deposits allows the engine to operate as it was designed, improving fuel economy, lowering emissions and contributing to improved drivability and increased power.

Whether deposits have built up over a relatively low number of miles, or they have accumulated over 100,000 miles, P.i. fuel additive effectively removes them. Because fuel injector deposits and the associated performance issues usually build up slowly over time, motorists often attribute the decreased performance to the increased age of the vehicle. When the deposits are removed, the performance improvement is immediate and significant.

Fuel injectors provide drivers with more precise control of fuel, improving fuel efficiency and minimizing emissions. However, in order to work efficiently, they must be kept clean. Because performance suffers as fuel injectors become dirty, the U.S. goverment mandated in the mid-1990s that all gasoline sold in the U.S. be formulated with a lowest additive concentration (LAC) level of detergent additives to help keep engines clean and emissions under control. However, it takes a very low level of additive to pass the tests, and most gasoline on the market contains as little as 123 parts per million (ppm) of additive.

The low levels of detergent additives in modern gasoline allow deposits to build up on critical fuel system components, and most motorists are unaware of how dirty the insides of their engines are. AMSOIL P.i. Improver is an effective one-tank, total fuel system cleaner. More potent than other fuel additives on the market, P.i. effectively cleans everything the fuel touches, including fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers, in only one single tank of gasoline, removing the deposits that have built up over thousands of miles. Removing engine deposits with P.i. effectively improves fuel economy, reduces emissions, restores power, performance and acceleration, reduces octane requirements, increases engine life and reduces maintenance costs.

Dirty gasoline causes fuel system gumming and varnish, as well as piston and combustion chamber deposits. Although all gasoline sold in the U.S. is formulated with a lowest additive concentration (LAC) level of detergent additives, these detergent levels are not enough to prevent deposit from building up on critical fuel system components.

Quickshot SE contains unique chemistry that quickly detaches and carries away deposits and buildups in fuel systems, injectors and carburetors, while also cleaning hard-to-remove deposits on piston tops, spark plugs and other combustion chamber parts. All fuel additives are not the same.

Ethanol in fuel has a tendency to absorb water and separate from the gasoline, sinking to the bottom of the gas tank, where it quickly degrades and creates gum, varnish and other insoluble debris that can plug fuel flow passages and negatively affect engine performance. When this ethanol/water mixture is pulled into the engine, it creates a lean burn situation that increases combustion chamber temperatures and can lead to engine damage.

AMSOIL Quickshot SE is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the fuel tank, moving it out as a normal part of operation and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating from the gasoline.

Quickshot SE fuel additive was tested in fuel containing 10 percent ethanol. Controlled plugging of injectors showed a 70 percent flow improvement, while oxidation stability improved 44 percent over untreated fuel.

AMSOIL came out with Quickshot SE, it’s a revolutionary fuel additive product designed to fight the problems associated with ethanol, water and dirty pump fuel in all powersports and small engines equipment. Quickshot SE not only cleans dirty injectors and carburetors it also preserves fuel between uses which helps to prevent fuel degradation and the phase separation common in today’s fuel.

From your weed eater to your motorcycle, Quickshot SE will keep all of your 2 and 4 stroke equipment ready for trouble-free use all summer. Quickshot SE is a “must have” product for all powersports and small engine users.
