Quickshot was tested in fuel containing 10 percent ethanol. AMSOIL Quickshot is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the fuel tank, moving it out as a normal part of operation and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating from the gasoline. 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. Its revolutionary technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing these applications: ethanol, water and dirty pump gas.Įthanol in fuel has a tendency to absorb water and separate from the gasoline (a process known as phase separation), sinking to the bottom of the gas tank where it quickly degrades and creates gum, varnish and other insoluble debris that can plug fuel-flow passages and negatively affect engine performance. It also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage. Fuel-related problems are only expected to intensify in the coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to increase.ĪMSOIL Quickshot (AQS) is a premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly clean and restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of pistons, causing pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle response. It can form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and fuel filters. Degraded fuel presents a major maintenance issue in small engines and powersports equipment.
