Shell Commercial Fuels has officially unveiled its today launched a new formulation of Shell FuelSave Diesel with advanced cleaning properties, which helps customers in the transport, construction, mining, and agriculture sectors improve fuel economy by 3.75% and recover power.

Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd Managing Director, Shairan Huzani Husain, said the company is committed to reduce the environmental impact from operations for industry players. “We aim to help reduce total cost of ownership for businesses that rely on advanced diesel-engine technology to elevate their growth for a more profitable business.”

“Increasing costs, shifting supply chains and new ways of working have forced businesses to adapt quickly. On top of these setbacks, technologies continue to advance, engine maintenance becomes crucial and fuel choice becomes increasingly important.”

Innovation in diesel fuels still has an important role to play and Shell is committed in leveraging technology to help customers get more from their vehicles. Shell FuelSave Diesel now features a unique triple-action formula which offers a deeper clean2.

After just one tank, the new formulation helps to clean up fuel injector nozzle deposits and Internal Diesel Injector Deposits (IDIDs)6. It is also designed to help protect Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems from deposit build-up7, thus boosting vehicle reliability.

By providing a fuel injector clean-up and keep-clean effect, the new formulation helps businesses avoid unplanned breakdowns and replacements, which can cost as much as RM 8,500 for a single injector. When taken to account that six- or eight-cylinder engines may require replacing a whole set of injectors, the costs accumulate to the point of having an impact on the bottom line.

“The last few years have been turbulent for our customers, to say the least,” said Voo Ket Chung (KC), Country Business Manager Commercial Fuels Shell Malaysia. “They have faced various challenges including increasing costs, new ways of working, and tightening emission targets. On top of this, engine technologies continue to advance, meaning operators’ fuel choices become increasingly important when dealing with current market demands.”

“Our new formulation of Shell FuelSave Diesel is designed to ease these challenges by ensuring equipment is less likely to fall foul of engine deposits. It combines key ingredients including deposit control additive to target and remove injector deposits with a combustion improver which helps keep the EGR system clean. This helps to promote better engine performance, reduce downtime and drive down maintenance costs, allowing businesses to maintain a competitive edge.”
