Diesel engines sometimes require more than just the physical components can offer in order to achieve peak efficiency. That's why Gerhardt Performance Center offers products that compliment the system.
Fuel quality is one of those variables. We stock various types of additives designed to restore the proper cetane and lubricity to fuels when these critical qualities are absent. Research clearly shows proper maintenance of the quality of fuel being used in your vehicle has a profound impact on engine component lifecycles. Poor cetane levels, which is the diesel equivalent of octane in gasoline, affects the engine performance and combustion process. Poor lubricity affects the wear patterns in the injection system components and combustion cylinder. We also offer products designed to help control algae growth in your tank.
Turbochargers should always be properly cooled down before shutting down a diesel engine. Many times this necessary procedure is ignored because the vehicle operator does not have the time to baby-sit the engine during extended idling. Gerhardt Performance Center stocks devices that automatically cool your turbocharger. These devices are easily installed, plus offer an anti-theft feature for your diesel.
Diesels are notorious for consuming large quantities of air. Many engines come factory equipped with marginal air induction systems. TnT Performance Center stocks modified air induction systems designed to get the most from your diesel engine. Systems that will let your diesel breath with ease.
