Car engines must meet increasingly stringent environmental requirements and yet emit less and less harmful exhaust gases, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx). One of the solutions, which car manufacturers have devised for this, is Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). With exhaust gas recirculation a portion of the dirty exhaust gasses is...

JLM has introduced a new oil additive with the chemical component Bortec. The JLM Bortec Oil Additive J06050 — in contrast to additives with Teflon and ceramics — contains no solid particles such as ash. As a result, friction between moving parts in combustion engines is reduced even further and the parts...

Modern passenger cars and diesel-engined vans are equipped with a diesel particulate filter. This filter captures air polluting gases from the engine that would otherwise end up in the environment. In the course of time the filter becomes full. The car's electronics ensure that this soot is burned during motorway...

Today’s emission standards mean that modern petrol cars are in the main equipped with direct fuel injections. This is beneficial on many levels but the direct fuel injector system presents problems that the traditional fuel deposit control additives simply cannot solve. With direct fuel injection vehicles the fuel is isolated...

Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines perform better, are more economical and more environmentally friendly than indirect-injected petrol engines. However, the directly injected combustion engines also get dirty faster internally. JLM has researched this and developed an additive that removes stubborn build-up of dirt and ensures that valuable parts in the...

While the formation of carbon in internal combustion engines is unavoidable due both to the nature of fossil fuels, and the inherent inefficiency of internal combustion engines, the rate at which carbon forms is largely dependent on the following: Efficiency of the combustion process  In petrol engines that are in...

In simple terms, carbon, as it relates to internal combustion engines, is a residue that consists primarily of unburnt fuel and excess lubrication oil. Collectively, these are known as hydrocarbons, which are the basis of fossil fuels that include petrol, diesel, LP gas, and kerosene. For petrol engines For diesel...

On most diesel engines, the effects of excessive carbon deposits are directly related to the amount, or total volume of the carbon deposit in any given combustion chamber. If we assume that the engine is in good mechanical condition, the total volume of carbon in each combustion chamber will be...
