The above image illustrates how BioWeapon lubricates and cleans an engine’s top end. When compared to Sunoco 260GTX, another unleaded race fuel, the difference in distillation points is obvious. Cleaning and lubrication are provided within the distillation ranges that go beyond petroleum-based gasoline. These are described in the chart as "Cleaning Range" and “Lubricating Range”. The “Lubricating Range” of BioWeapon is solvent-like compounds that make it into the combustion chamber to erode unwanted deposits from the cylinder head and piston top. Traditional gasoline has detergents, but they are ineffective beyond the intake valves due to their low distillation. BioWeapon reaches into the combustion chamber with its bio-based detergents because they are more reluctant to dissipate. They resist vaporization enough to meet with the combustion chamber’s hot metal before burning away. The "Lubricating Range" is comprised of biological oils that survive an instant longer, providing valve, guide, and cylinder wall lubrication before burning away. This lubrication gains efficiency, reduces friction and in turn, heat and wear.
The video below is evidence of BioWeapon’s ability to clean and lubricate an engine’s top end. The engine shown is from David Brown's 2007 GSXR 750 shown in the dyno charts on our Performance page. It had 18,000 track miles at the time of the teardown, with the final 3,500 miles exclusively on BioWeapon.
BioWeapon cleans engines better than fuel detergents. Our proprietary bio-based components dissolve carbon and clean beyond the intake valves, into the combustion chamber, and through the exhaust system. These videos were taken with a Snap-On flexible video scope. The first video shows the 17,000 miles of carbon buildup covering the piston in a 1997 Yamaha YZF-750. The second video is of the same piston after running only 3 gallons of BioWeapon race fuel. Notice that the carbon has been completely removed revealing the piston’s center circle and even the serial number at the bottom left.
