KEROPUR® D

The High Performance Diesel Additive

 

Big tasks require maximum power to be available on demand. With poor quality fuel, deposits can slowly build up inside your engine. Accumulating over time, these deposits ultimately prevent the motor system from exploiting its full potential and delivering its optimal performance. The cure? KEROPUR®!

BASF’s high performance diesel fuel additive KEROPUR® D provides an impressive “cleaning effect” to help remove and prevent performance-limiting deposits at the heart of your vehicle. Beyond that, KEROPUR® D boosts the cetane number of your diesel fuel.

So ensure you’ve got the power when you need it!

You’ve got the power!

Engine Performance Restored

  • Removes already existing deposits (clean-up)
  • Prevents formation of new deposits (keep-clean)
  • Improves cetane number and fuel stability
  • Enables better start-up and driving behavior
  • Prolongs engine life
  • Improves fuel economy

Prime Performance

KEROPUR® D multifunctional diesel fuel additives ensure your diesel engine is clean and protect the entire fuel system. The additives remove already existing deposits (clean-up effect) and prevent the formation of new deposits (keep-clean effect). KEROPUR® D also improves the diesel’s cetane number which leads to an improved ignition and smoother combustion process.

Performance benefits, enabled by KEROPUR® D, have been proven in a wide range of engine and on-road tests – conducted, amongst others, by BASF’s Competence Center Fuels & Lubes in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Your clean engine will not only result in a longer engine life – you will also benefit from the better start-up and driving behavior, having restored the full potential of your engine. The boosted cetane number enables a better and quieter start-up even at low temperatures.

 

Reliable Efficiency

KEROPUR® D supports the use of all common diesel fuels and significantly improves stability of fuels with various biodiesel content. By boosting your fuel’s performance, you will also be able to reduce your engine’s fuel consumption which in consequence also means less emissions.

Quality Made in Germany

BASF RECOMMENDS KEROPUR® D FOR USE IN AUDI, BMW, DAIMLER, PORSCHE, VOLVO CARS, VW AND OTHERS.

KEROPUR® D CAN BE EASILY APPLIED DURING YOUR REGULAR STOP AT THE GAS STATION!

With KEROPUR® high performance fuel additives you simply require 100 ml per tank (45-75 L) for optimal performance.

Diesel Fuel Injection and Formation of Deposits


Internal diesel injector deposits (IDID)

Deposit formation on valve, piston and needle resulting in:

  • Difficulties to start the engine or no engine start
  • Engine vibration and trembling
  • Increased engine noise

External spray hole deposits

Nozzles of modern diesel engines have a very small sprayhole diameter: Hundreds of micrometers or even smaller. Inside the spray holes, deposits may form and reduce the amount of injected fuel. The reduction of injected fuel causes powerloss of the engine.
