PD Fuel Conditioners
How they Work
PD3 and PD5 fuel conditioner’s have been the best kept secret, but no longer. Hail the start of a revolution, where your fuel costs and harmful emissions lower. PD3 and PD5 are similar in nature to water, except that they disperse easily and evenly throughout the fuel in your tank. By contrast, ordinary water will not mix easily with fuel and, typically, it will settle to the bottom of a tank of petrol or diesel. PD3 is red in colour and PD5 is pale yellow in colour and these are simply tracer dyes which can be analysed to prove the authenticity of an example of our product.
PD3 is red in colour and PD5 is yellow in colour this is simply a dye used to identify the product.
How does PD3 and PD5 affect combustion
During combustion the fuel burns from the outside to in. This is a time dependant process. The larger the fuel droplet the longer it will take to burn completely, therefore the smaller the fuel droplet the quicker it burns. PD3 & PD5 accelerate the combustion process because as a fuel droplet containing PD3 or PD5 burns, it heats the PD3 or PD5 turning it into vapour which, as the temperature increases the pressure caused by the PD3 or PD5 vapour is greater than the surface tension of the fuel around it and causes a micro explosion that smashes the fuel droplet.
The resulting explosion of the fuel droplet allows fuel to burn quicker due to a greater surface area. This accelerated combustion also leads to much less unburnt fuel exiting from the combustion chamber.
What physically happens to the PD3 or PD5 during the combustion process is very simple. PD3 & PD5 contain no heavy metals or detergent components. The by-products from its combustion are H20 (water) in the form of steam and a trace amount of C02 which are also the natural by-products of the combustion of fuel. Therefore, PD3 or PD5 does not cause any damage to boilers/engines or and is environmentally friendly.
PD3 & PD5’s cleaning power and improved efficiency

The phenomenon of micro explosion detailed above explains how PD3 & PD5 reduces emissions and fuel usage from a boiler. Soot is formed when, during combustion, fuel burns and extinguishes itself, leading to the formation of soot. A formation of soot within the boiler can build up through time causing the less heat to be transferred due to its insulation of soot.
The efficiency of a boiler/engine can be measured by how much fuel it burns to how much heat it gives out. PD conditioners use less fuel and produce more heat as explained above. Despite using PD conditioners it is still recommended that boilers/engines receive servicing at regular intervals to clean the system and to clean or change nozzles.
The gas generated by the boiling of PD3 & PD5 during the combustion process has been shown to have a tremendous cleaning effect on boilers/engines that already have carbon deposits. Therefore PD3 & PD5 also increases the efficiency and reduces emissions by its cleaning action. Regular use of PD3 or PD5 leads to prolonged operation at peak efficiencies and prevents the formation of carbon deposits on nozzles that lead to incomplete combustion of the fuel and hence environmental emissions such as CO, unburnt HC, particulates and smoke.
Also the fact that less fuel is required to be burnt to achieve the required amount of heat in a boiler/engine leads directly to a consequent reduction in the amount of C02 released into the atmosphere.
