ValvTect Petroleum Products offer gasoline and diesel based marine fuels, as well as several different marine fuel additives. ValvTect products help to improve the performance of marine engines. It may be said that fuel is not genuinely marine fuel without this special additive formula.
Such additives can provide a wide range of different benefits for many types of marine engines, but it’s important for boaters to choose the right kind of additive for the engine in question. The ValvTect marine fuel additive products include…
- Gasoline and Diesel Stabilizer: Prevents problems caused by fuel during storage; makes motor start faster.
- Lead Substitute: Enhances reliability and performance in older engines which lack catalytic converters.
- Marine Engine Injector Cleaner: Eliminates various deposits in DFI and EFI engines, enhancing performance.
- Ethanol Gasoline Treatment: Prevents four problems caused by gasoline with ethanol in it (E5, E10).
- Fuel Dri: Eliminates water in the fuel system, enabling boaters to avoid corrosion and contamination.
- Octane Performance Improver: Enhances performance and acceleration while preventing exhaust valve problems.
- Carbon Free: Stops carbon deposits from forming, making engines last longer and perform better.
- Diesel Guard Heavy Duty/Marine Diesel Additive: Decreases pollution, stops corrosion, and more.
- BioGuard Microbiocide: Eliminates harmful fungi and bacteria in diesel fuel within three hours.
Some of these additive products also improve fuel efficiency, which saves money and help protect the environment. Other brands offer similar additives, such as West Marine fuel stabilizer, MDR ReLead, Star Brite StarTron Enzyme Fuel Treatment, and FPPF Marine Boat Diesel Formula.
A number of marinas sell ValvTect marine fuels, which include the BioGuard (diesel) or Ethanol Gas Treatment additives. This makes their fuel more desirable and gives customers the benefit of ValvTect additives without having to purchase and use them.
A few examples of marinas that carry ValvTect fuels include the Bull River Marina in Savannah, and Miami Beach Marina. Such marinas often mark their docks with easily visible ValvTect-branded signs, which they receive from the company at no extra cost.

Boat engines run much differently than those of automobiles. When using untreated diesel or gasoline they become more vulnerable to damage and don’t perform as well, especially with gasoline containing ethanol. This increases the total cost of fuel and maintenance.
Regardless of where they are sold, the argument could be made that gasoline and diesel only become marine fuel when marine additives are used. Otherwise they remain no different from automobile or truck/bus fuels, which aren’t customized for marine purposes.
To gain the benefits of additive-containing fuels, boaters will want to determine if any local marinas offer such fuels, while comparing the cost and convenience of buying and using additives on their own. Some additives are desirable for most engines, others only for certain types.
By purchasing the right additives, ValvTect fuels or additives, and/or Ethanol-free fuel, boaters can save money on engine repairs and achieve a more enjoyable boating experience. MarineFuel.com’s E-Marina service helps boat owners to locate such fuels.
