Technical questions


Who produces the Xbee® fuel additive?
The enzyme concentrate was designed in a Japanese laboratory by Dr. Shinji Makino’s team. The
Xbee® fuel additive end product is produced by Solpower Corporation which holds the international production rights. This company is based in California in the United States.

What are the benefits of the Xbee additive?
First of all, it improves fuel quality. Then, it completely cleans your tank or reservoir, as well as the entire injection system and engine, including exhaust. As a direct consequence of this cleaning, water and therefore bacteria and other organic impurities are eliminated from the fuel. Better fuel combustion means reduced emissions of fumes and greenhouse gases. Faster combustion means a lower temperature at the combustion exhaust point. Lastly, fuel overconsumption is reduced.

How does the Xbee fuel additive work?
The enzymes contained in
the Xbee® fuel additive modify the structure of diesel, petrol, domestic heating oil, heavy fuel oil, and others' hydrocarbon molecules improving oxygenation and optimizing combustion.

Can the Xbee® fuel additive be used with fuels other than diesel?
Yes, one of the characteristics of the
Xbee® biotechnology and its 100% natural composition is that it is compatible with all fuel types: kerosene, unleaded 95 and 98 petrol, diesel, domestic heating oil, marine diesel, biofuels (including bioethanol E85), recycled oils, vegetable oils, and of course IFO 30, IFO 40, IFO 180, IFO 380, and IFO 700 heavy fuel oils.

What is the recommended dose for the various fuels?
The dose is the same for all fuels. The optimal ratio is one litre of
Xbee® fuel additive for four thousand litres of fuel (1:4000).
