Overview
HiTEC® 6590C is a fully synthetic gasoline performance additive (GPA) designed for use in all gasoline engines, including direct injection gasoline (DIG) and conventional port fuel injection (PFI) systems. It incorporates a specialty detergent package that effectively cleans up critical engine components, such as intake valves and fuel injectors. This cleaning action leads to optimized fuel economy, reduced emissions, and maximized power and acceleration. HiTEC® 6590C meets the industry requirements of EPA, LAC Final Rule, and TOP TIER™ certifications. Furthermore, it is compatible with high-ethanol fuels up to E20, which enhances its versatility in various fuel applications.

Features & Benefits
- Up to E20 ethanol compatible Excellent combustion chamber deposit control Good demulsibility A-rating corrosion protection Low viscosity for easy pumping and handling Patented for use in DIG engines (U.S. Patents: 5,725,612; 7,422,161; 7,491,248; 7,766,982; 6,800,103; 7,112,230; and CA 2,231,965) EPA, LAC Final Rule, and TOP TIER™ certified
Problems Solved
The use of ethanol-blended fuels is increasingly prevalent due to environmental regulations and sustainability goals. However, ethanol is not compatible with all fuel treatment chemistries, leading to poor additive performance. Furthermore, deposit buildup in critical areas such as injectors and fuel lines can impede fuel flow and adversely affect combustion efficiency. This can lead to reduced engine power output and increased emissions.
Applications
