Problem Solver Checklist
Simply use this checklist to find the most cost effective solution for many common problems faced by vehicle and machinery owners today. Whether it’s yesterday’s technology, or the most modern hi-tech equipment available today, we have low cost solutions to very expensive problems.
| Problem | Example or Reason |
CEM’s Solution |
| Common Rail Diesel injector problems, blamed on “bad fuel” |
Hilux, Landcruiser, Prado, Navara, VW’s, Colorado’s, Hino’s, Isuzu’s, you name it…ALL CRD diesels |
CRD Fuel Enhancer |
| Carbon Fouling of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve & Inlet Manifold |
V8 Landcruiser diesels, Pajero DID’s, Tritons…ALL CRD diesels. Due to excess exhaust soot and crankcase fumes. |
FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, CRD Fuel Enhancer |
| Sludge & filthy oil | Series 60 Detroits, old Landcruisers, Hiluxes, Patrols, etc are real problems, but also most any diesel by 100,000kms use will have sludge. |
Flushing Oil Concentrate |
| Diesel Smoke | Refer: “Diesel smoke tells YOU a story!” | FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, CRD Fuel Enhancer |
| Overheating engine | 4.2 Patrol diesels, 2.8L Hiluxes, and many older pre-combustion type diesels. Modern petrol engines now run a lot hotter, and are also prone to bad sludging (Camry V6, VW, Commodores, BMW, Hyundai, etc). |
Flushing Oil Concentrate |
| Power Loss | Dirty oil, coked up combustion chamber, carbon weighted turbo, fouled emission equipment, carbon build up in catalytic convertors, diesel particulate filters and mufflers are a few reasons | FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, CRD Fuel Enhancer (or Cleanpower) |
| Blowby | Series 60 Detroits, Cummins Signature & ISX engines, Cats on light work, 4×4’s older gummy engines. Plus anything getting a few kms up are usually a bit fouled around the rings, before they get bad wear. |
FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate |
| Poor fuel economy | Coked up engines & turbos, coked inlets, EGR’s fouled, poor maintenance, sludge, sticking rings, fouled emission controls and more. |
FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, CRD Fuel Enhancer (or Cleanpower) |
| Glazed cylinders | Usually due to light duty, excess idling, cold running. Sometimes changing oil type will also glaze. |
FTC Decarbonizer, or you can use Flushing Oil Concentrate (if oil related, or vehicle cannot be driven at the moment) |
| Hard Starting Cold | Compression drop from sticky rings, poor fuel atomization, deposits, mechanical reasons, etc |
FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate, CRD Fuel Enhancer (or Cleanpower) |
| Diesel Fuel Growths | Fungi, algae & bacteria can grow in any diesel to create a slimey growth |
FTC Decarbonizer |
| Notchy Gear changes | Manual transmissions in Cars, 4x4s, trucks | AW10 Antiwear |
| Engine rattles and noises | Inadequate lubrication due to sludge & carbon | Flushing Oil Concentrate, AW10 Antiwear, FTC Decarbonizer to clean up then enhance protection |
| Dirty fuel pump and injectors | Common rail diesels & modern petrols particularly susceptible as well as older types |
CRD Fuel Enhancer (or Cleanpower) |
| Coked up engine & exhaust | Prolonged light work, idling or poorly maintained engines | FTC Decarbonizer, Flushing Oil Concentrate |
| Sticking piston rings | Older or poorly maintained diesel & Petrol engines | Flushing Oil Concentrate |
| Manual or Auto Gearbox running hot | Mitsubishi Pajero automatics. Truck gearboxes and diffs. Dozer final drives |
AW10 Antiwear |
| Noisy hydraulic lifters |
We do plenty of Commodores, but really any petrol or diesel engine
|
Flushing Oil Concentrate, AW10 Antiwear |
| Hydraulics running Hot. Also Automatic Transmissions running hot. |
Hard working hydraulics, eg bobcats, excavators, mining shovels. Pajero automatics are one of the more common for heating up excessively |
AW10 Antiwear |
| “I just want to give it the best protection possible!” | So do we! In the long run , it’s cheaper! You get much longer life, better power and economy, fewer repairs and enhanced driving pleasure. |
