HYDRA VULCAN - Heating Oil Additive

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES OF HEATING OIL ADDITIVES

• Promotes a cleaner boiler by incorporating the latest technology in heating oil additives with heavy-duty detergents. These detergents clean down to a molecular level, cleaning burner nozzles, injectors, and fuel lines.
• By ensuring that all of your fuel system is clean and running at its peak efficiency, the overall efficiency of the boiler giving better fuel economy.
• Most fuel tanks will get a build-up of sludge over time, the sludge dispersants in Hydra Vulcan will dissolve this harmful sludge.
• Stabilises the fuel by inhibiting further sludge formation, keeping your fuel lines and filters clear, an essential requirement for a heating oil additive.
• Turns regular fuel into premium kerosene. It gives a greener, cleaner burn, reducing maintenance and boiler shutdown.
• Pays for itself by reducing maintenance and giving greater fuel economy.

HOW TO USE VULCAN HEATING OIL ADDITIVE

Add to fuel tank, then top up with new fuel. It can also be added to fuel already in the tank. After adding to your tank, just give Hydra Vulcan a quick stir with a stick, and it will readily disperse.

It can be used in all grades of kerosene and heating oil.

For Heavily Contaminated Fuel System

Dilution rate: 1:2500, i.e., 250ml treats 625 litres of fuel.

Refuelling Dose to Protect Clean Fuel System

Dilution rate: 1:5000, i.e., 250 ml of treats 1,250 litres of heating oil. Treat oil tanks every time they are topped up.

HEATING OIL FOR HOME AGAS, RAYBURNS & RANGE MASTERS

Vaporising burners, as found in Aga, Rayburn, and Range Master cookers, are extremely sensitive to carbon and soot build-up; it is not unknown for them to soot up every 4-6 weeks. Hydra Vulcan prevents these deposits from building up, keeping the burners free of soot between services.

ADDITIVE FOR HEATING OIL WITH OPTIMISED SPRAY PATTERN

Many heating boilers are of a pressure jet design that use precise fuel metering through narrow-shaped spray channels. Injector deposits mean reduced fuel flow. Whereas 100% clean injectors give optimal fuel spray pattern. Each finely dispersed particle of fuel is surrounded by many molecules of air (20% oxygen), ensuring a more complete burn, giving you better fuel economy, reduced emissions, and improved boiler durability.

POWERFUL DETERGENTS FOR THE BEST HEATING OIL ADDITIVE

Hydra Vulcan contains heavy-duty detergents that prevent the formation of and removes existing deposits from burners, injectors, and heat exchangers In the oil tank. It safely dissolves years of corrosive sludge into the fuel where it's burned away. Vulcan creates a protective barrier to help prevent the sludge build-up from coming back, giving you the best heating oil additive that money can buy.

PREMIUM KEROSENE UPGRADE

When using Hydra Vulcan additive for heating oil, it upgrades standard heating oil to a premium standard for heating oil. The boiler fires easier with reduced soot and fuel consumption. Better combustion means fewer deposits on burners and heat exchanger.

Can I mix Hydra Vulcan if I have an additive already in my tank?

You will be OK as long as the other additive has been designed for domestic heating boiler oil treatment. Just dose at the correct amount for your volume of oil.

Will using Hydra Vulcan effect my boiler warranty? 

Our product has been designed so that treated fuel still adheres to the following standards: BS 2869. Class A2 and BS 2689 Class D, therefore it will not affect your boilers warranty.

Is this use for putting straight into home heating oil tank which feeds the central heating boiler only ?

Yes, Add Hydra Vulcan heating oil additive straight in to the oil tank in correct dilution then top up with new fuel. Please make sure Fuel tanks being treated should be at least 10% full.

I've just replaced my oil tank but although a lot of sludge was removed some contaminated oil was transferred back to the new tank. If I'm adding the Hydra Vulcan to the fuel do I need to add a biocide additive as well our will the Heating Oil Additive do both jobs.

To play safe we recommend you to add the biocide Hydra FPB-77 FuelPlus as well.

Can you please advise if the Hydra Vulcan is suitable for use in a solid fuel Rayburn stove that was converted to oil using a Don burner? The burner is not a vaporising burner, but a gravity feed oil drip. I do know that some types of additive are not suitable for this type of burner and just wondered if you had encountered this problem before? Thanks

This will still work with your type of burner.

Hi, is the amount of heating oil additive critical ie if I buy some? Is it possible to add too much?

No. If you overdose it is OK.

Hi. Can I just check this is for kerosene? Also, why two lids? Thanks

Yes. One is measuring cylinder & other one is direct pouring.

Old Rayburn with wick burners does your additive cause any problems with these burners?

 No, it will work OK with these.

Is this recommended for a Rayburn 308k oil fired range? It's a vaporising burner type.

 Yes, this product is suitable.

Can I add it to my inverter heater?

 Yes, you can.
