WCF Fuels: Ensuring Optimal Performance for Your Home Heating Oil

At WCF Fuels, we work together to provide performance-enhanced additives and kerosene treatments to help you get the most out of your home heating oil.

Anti-Bug Treatment

Combat Microbiological Contamination

The first signs of microbiological contamination, often referred to as "the diesel bug," include continuous blocking of filters with a slimy substance ranging from black to light brown. These "bugs" can quickly form a semi-solid mass that blocks fuel lines and filters, increasing heating oil costs.
Our Anti-Bug treatment addresses immediate microbiological infestations with a "kill" dose and prevents future activity in clean tanks with a "protect" dose. This additive can be used directly in your 28-second oil tank to ensure optimal performance.

Features of Anti-Bug Treatment:

Sludge Buster

Maintain Tank Performance and Cleanliness

With heating oil prices fluctuating throughout the year, maintaining your tank's performance is crucial. WCF Fuels has partnered with exocet® to provide Sludge Buster, a formulated chemical additive designed to clean tanks where fuel buildup can be problematic. The product works within hours to remove solids buildup from tank bottoms, walls, and associated pipework.

We recommend regular treatment, especially during winter months when heating oil costs rise, to ensure your fuel flows freely year-round.

Features of Sludge Buster:

• Contains concentrated hydrocarbon deposit control additive/dispersant chemistry.
• Promotes oil-water separation.
• Inhibits oil-water emulsion formation.
• Broad-spectrum solvent washing capability.

Kerosene Lubricity Additive

Protect and Prolong Equipment Life

exocet® Kerosene Lubricity Additive is ideal when using kerosene instead of gas oil or diesel in stationary equipment. This additive can also be used in domestic and commercial heating systems to protect fuel pumps from excessive wear.

Typical applications include heating systems and agricultural grain dryers, especially where fuel pump failures or seizures have been experienced or predicted.

Features of Kerosene Lubricity Additive:

• Forms a protective film on metal surfaces.
• Reduces contact, friction, and wear.
• Prolongs equipment life.
• Essential when using kerosene in stationary engines or burners.
• Compensates for the lack of lubricity in low-sulfur kerosene compared to additized gas oil or diesel.
