Restores Peak Performance in Small Engines and Powersports Equipment
EGRADED FUEL PRESENTS A MAJOR MAINTENANCE ISSUE in small engines and powersports equipment.
It can form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and
fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of pistons that leads to pre-ignition,
rough idling and poor throttle response. Fuel-related problems are only expected to
intensify in the coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to increase.
AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is a premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly clean and
restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. It also
stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods. Its revolutionary
technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing small engines and powersports
equipment: ethanol, water and dirty pump gas.
Ethanol
Ethanol in fuel has a tendency to absorb water and separate from the gasoline, sinking to
the bottom of the gas tank, where it quickly degrades and creates gum, varnish and other i
nsoluble debris that can plug fuel flow passages and negatively affect engine performance.
When this ethanol/water mixture is pulled into the engine, it creates a lean burn situation
that increases combustion chamber temperatures and can lead to engine damage. AMSOIL Quickshot
SE is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the tank, moving it out as a normal part
of operation and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating from the gasoline.
Quickshot SE was tested in fuel containing 10 percent ethanol. Controlled plugging of
injectors showed a 70 percent flow improvement, while oxidation stability improved 44
percent over untreated fuel.
Water
Water finds its way into gas tanks through condensation in tanks open to the atmosphere,
gas pumps and other environmental conditions, and if left untreated, will cause a myriad
of starting, performance and corrosion problems. By keeping water dispersed in tiny molecules
and safely moving it out of the tank through the combustion chamber, Quickshot SE helps
maintain engine performance and protects against damaging corrosion.
Dirty Gasoline
Dirty gasoline causes fuel system gumming and varnish, as well as piston and combustion
chamber deposits. Although all gasoline sold in the U.S. is formulated with a lowest additive
concentration (LAC) level of detergent additives, these detergent levels are not enough to
prevent deposits from building up on critical fuel system components. Quickshot SE contains
unique chemistry that quickly detaches and carries away deposits and buildups in fuel systems,
injectors and carburetors, while also cleaning hard-to-remove deposits on piston tops,
spark plugs and other combustion chamber parts.
Applications
Quickshot SE is recommended for use in all two- and four-stroke gasoline-powered engines,
including motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, personal watercraft, ATVs, edgers, tillers, mowers,
snowblowers, chainsaws, generators and farm and construction equipment. However, AMSOIL P.I.
Performance Improver is the superior choice for passenger vehicle applications.
Recommendations
Quickshot SE is designed for an initial clean-up dose of 8 oz. per 6 gallons of gasoline,
followed by 8 oz. per 12 gallons thereafter.
