- Features & Benefits
- The refinery grade lubricity additive package of PRI-D provides a maximum level of effective lubricity protection at the 1:2000 dose rate for all fuel delivery systems.
- PRI-D is formulated with PRI’s exclusive thermal stability technology, essential to improving performance of modern, hydrotreated distillate fuels.
- PRI-D reacts with fuel upon contact, providing greatly enhanced fuel lubricity and deposit and emissions control benefits demanded by today’s engines.
- Improved lubricity of 30 - 40 percent with considerable wear reductions on fuel pumps.
- Improved fuel consumption.
- Engines and gas turbines are vastly improved.
- Carbon deposits on engines and fuel system are prevented.
- Fuel stays fresh, ignition quality is improved.
- Degraded/old fuels are restored.
- Visible smoke emissions and soot fouling is dramatically diminished.
- Improved performance, maintenance and emissions reductions - CARB/EPA testing verifies PRI-D capability to improve the combustion process for optimum, long-term engine performance and efficiency. In test after test, PRI-D is verified to reduce unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
- Maximum Lubricity Protection - The refinery-grade ester based lubricity additive package of PRI-D is the most effective and safest available today based on extensive oil industry research, field performance experience and HFRR testing. Fuel pump wear is reduced as much as 45%. Costly and unsafe catastrophic pump failures are avoided.
- Keeps Fuels at Peak Stability - PRI-D not only prevents fuel degradation in long-term storage but degraded fuels are restored to refinery freshness. PRI-D is especially effective in providing the enhanced thermal stability that modern hydrotreated distillate fuels lack. PRI-D capability is repeatedly confirmed in independently conducted ASTM D2274 testing.
- Super Concentrated & Safe - PRI-D is super concentrated and cost effective, treating fuel at a 1:2000 ratio. PRI-D contains no potentially damaging cetane improvement additives or harsh solvent chemistries, meeting all major engine manufacturer fuel specifications.
- PRI-D is a highly complex blend of organic chemistries that once blended with diesel fuel, will not stratify or separate, even with fuel purification. In fact, purification systems remain cleaner and more efficient when processing PRI-D treated fuels.

- Dosage
Dosage Rate
PRI-D is dosed at the rate of 1:2000 regardless of fuel specifications under ASTM D975. The fixed dosage rate was developed in consideration of the fact that diesel fuel characteristics can be widely variable, and that quality standards, as proscribed under ASTM D975 do not completely account for all deficiencies associated with fuel performance. Hence, optimal protection for fuels deficient in lubricity and thermal stability characteristics is ensured at the 1:2000 dosage rate.
Dosage Method
Power Research Inc. recommends dosing of PRI-D at the main bunker manifold by means of a safe and easily operated air driven gear pump arrangement. However, PRI-D is highly miscible with diesel fuel and may be also be added directly to tanks no greater than 20 minutes prior to fuel addition. Agitation from fuel flow into the tank typically provides a sufficient mixture.
