Premier Marina's, Diesel and Soltron.

[Rosentiler]

I think this stands repeating - read again !!!

Well this company SDM Fuel Solutions & Soltron (IW) have the same director!!!

It would be interesting to know who advised Premier Marina's regarding their customers not using other additives, was it SDM Fuel Solutions, Soltron or Wessex Petroleum the fuel suppliers?

Premier's latest email to berth holders:


Dear Berth Holder,

You would have received an email from Premier Marinas on November 10th, 2011 containing advice from Soltron� on the use of diesel fuel treatments and additives when boats are laid up for winter.

This may have inadvertently raised some questions over the efficacy of mixing other fuel treatments, additives, biocides and non biocides with Soltron�, and Soltron� would now like to clarify this point.

Soltron� is a highly effective advanced enzyme fuel technology developed to work in marine fuel oil to neutralise bacterial growth from contaminants such as diesel bug.

However, there are of course many quality suppliers of treatments and additives, one of which you may prefer to use at lay-up time and, if this is the case, Soltron� has provided the following information:

If you choose to dose fuel containing Soltron� with an additional branded fuel treatment, additive, biocide or non biocide the net effect is likely to be that the Soltron� enzyme in your fuel is rendered inert. Further, there will be no adverse effect on your engine and the additive or biocide you have introduced should work as expected by its manufacturer because the performance of other products is not affected by Soltron�.

If you have any concerns regarding the stability of the fuel in your tank Soltron� and Premier would advise that you contact either your marine engineer or the manufacturer or distributor of your preferred fuel treatment or additive

Bit of frantic back-pedalling there!

Just received this from Premier. I must admit to not being quite so cynical about Premier and their motives. I was pleased to hear about Soltron being added to the fuel at no extra charge. However, I am new to this game, so it could be that I am yet to learn .... but in the meantime, the way I read it that we get extra protection in our fuel, for no extra cost. If however, you want to use something else instead, that's fine, but it may prevent the free Soltron working.

Email removed: Sorry didnt meant to repeat.

One could also ask is Premier's fuel so bad it needs something like Soltron added to it. Most suppliers do not seem to feel it is needed.
