Gumout Performance Additives would like to thank you for the great interaction you had with us in our last Q&A sessions. Hopefully, we were able to provide valuable insights into our products and educate on fuel & oil additives in general.
In this next session, the focus will be on getting your vehicles and equipment ready for storage during the winter months. Engines that aren’t run for a long period of time need to be prepped or there will be performance issues when spring rolls around. In addition to the engine, other parts of the vehicle need some winterizing to ensure that they run just as good as they did when they were put into storage.
For example, fuel and oil can de-stabilize and cause gum and varnish to develop on key engine parts; coolant may have lost its ability to stop rust, corrosion and leaks; batteries can corrode and lose charge; tires can get flat spots and rubber can deteriorate; and dirty surfaces of the car can hold moisture that can lead to rust.
All of these issues can easily be addressed by using the right products and processes. We’d like to open the topic up for discussion and share with you what we know.
Beginning today, the thread will be open for question submissions until 10 p.m. ET on Friday, September 18th, at which time we will send them back to our full team of scientists, engineers and brand representatives to provide answers to as many of the questions as we can a few weeks later.
We are extremely excited to provide you with this service, but do have a few requests:
1. Please use this forum ONLY to submit questions. If you have previously posted questions on other areas of the site we will do our best to find them and provide answers, but your best bet is to repost the question in this thread.
2. Please understand that there will be some questions that we will not be able to answer. Some of our formulation information is proprietary, such as how much of a certain additive we put in our products, and can only provide feedback on our areas of expertise.
3. Please understand that we will not speculate on the products of our competitors, but we may be able provide you with ways to determine what they may have in their formulations. Not all products are created equal, so question claims and benefits and demand more information on what is in the product, what tests were used to determine efficacy and what were those results.
We look forward to your questions and thanks for your involvement!
