How Does DHP-10 Improve Diesel Fuel Performance?
Diesel fuel does more than provide energy for combustion. It also passes through precision fuel-system components where cleanliness, fuel quality and lubricity can affect reliable operation.
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ combines several functions in one concentrated diesel fuel additive to maintain fuel-system performance.
Improves Diesel Fuel Lubricity
Why is diesel fuel lubricity important? The fuel serves as the lubricant for precision components within the fuel system. High-pressure pumps and injectors contain closely fitted metal parts that operate under significant loads and very tight clearances. If fuel lubricity is lacking, increased metal-to-metal contact can contribute to friction, scuffing and wear. Maintaining adequate lubricity helps protect these components and supports fuel system durability.
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ improves fuel lubricity to reduce friction and wear on treated metal components. DHP-10 contains Muscle Metal Treatment MT-10® for additional lubrication protection.
Boosts Cetane for Improved Diesel Performance
Cetane number is the measure of how readily diesel fuel ignites under compression. In general, a higher cetane number means shorter ignition delay, easier starting, and smoother combustion.
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ is formulated to increase cetane while also providing fuel system cleaning and lubrication benefits.
Independent laboratory testing showed a 3–6% increase in cetane value using ASTM D613. Because the amount of improvement depends partly on the characteristics of the untreated fuel, results may vary from one fuel supply to another.
Cleans Diesel Fuel Injectors and Helps Control Deposits
Clean fuel injectors are important for the right fuel delivery and spray patterns. Deposits can form as fuel is exposed to heat and pressure and as unstable fuel components, oxidation products, or trace contaminants accumulate within the injector or around the nozzle openings. Modern common-rail injectors are especially sensitive because they operate at high pressures with very tight internal tolerances.
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ cleans injectors and helps control injector deposit formation to support continuous fuel flow and reliable fuel-system performance. Its concentrated formula is designed to help maintain injector and nozzle cleanliness in both modern and older diesel fuel systems.
Helps Protect Fuel Pumps and Injectors
Fuel pumps and injectors contain precision components that operate under demanding pressures and tolerances.
By improving fuel lubricity and reducing friction during metal-to-metal contact on treated surfaces, Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ helps protect pumps and injectors against wear and premature failure.
These lubrication and cleaning benefits can also promote fuel-system durability and reduce maintenance and downtime associated with fuel-related deposits and wear.
Suitable for Common-Rail and Conventional Diesel Fuel Systems
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ can be used in modern common-rail diesel fuel systems as well as older conventional diesel injection systems.
Common-rail systems use highly precise, high-pressure fuel delivery components. Maintaining fuel lubricity and injector cleanliness is especially important.
In older diesel engines, DHP-10 helps maintain injector nozzle cleanliness while providing supplemental lubrication throughout the fuel system.
What Diesel Fuel Problems Does DHP-10 Address?
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ is formulated to address several fuel-related conditions that can affect diesel fuel system performance, including:
Insufficient fuel lubricity
Injector and nozzle deposits
Fuel pump and injector wear
Lower cetane diesel fuel
Friction from metal-to-metal contact of fuel-system components
Deposit formation that can interfere with proper fuel delivery
DHP-10 combines lubricity improvement, cetane enhancement and fuel-system cleaning in a single diesel fuel additive.
Recommended Uses
Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ is recommended as an additive for:
#1 diesel fuel

Directions for Use
Shake the container or mix contents well before use.
Add Diesel High Performance DHP-10™ to the fuel tank before refueling. The product will blend easily with the diesel fuel during fill-up.
Recommended Treatment Rate
Add 2 oz. of DHP-10 for every 10 gallons of diesel fuel. For example:
10 gallons of diesel fuel — 2 oz. DHP-10
20 gallons — 4 oz.
30 gallons — 6 oz.
50 gallons — 10 oz.
100 gallons — 20 oz.
