Whether you own a motorcycle, dirt bike, snowmobile, lawn mower or any other small equipment, fuel maintenance is an issue. Ethanol blended gasoline is becoming more and more prevalent in Canada and with it, some equipment issues are occurring:
As ethanol content in gasoline continues to increase, fuel-related problems in small engines and powersports equipment are expected to become an even greater concern than they currently are. Varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and fuel filters are all issues caused by degraded fuel and are a major maintenance issue. Carbon buildup can also form on the tops of pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle response.
By focusing on the three major fuel-related issues effecting small engines and powersports equipment (ethanal, water and dirty fuel) AMSOIL Quickshot® (AQS) thoroughly cleans and restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. Quickshot also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods.
1. Ethanol
Ethanol in fuel has a tendency to absorb water and separate from the gasoline, sinking to the bottom of the gas tank, where it quickly degrades and creates gum, varnish and other insoluble debris that can plug fuel flow passages and negatively affect engine performance. When this ethanol/water mixture is pulled into the engine, it creates a lean burn situation that increases combustion chamber temperatures and can lead to engine damage. AMSOIL Quickshot is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the tank, moving it out as a normal part of operation and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating from the gasoline.
2. Water
Water finds its way into gas tanks through condensation in tanks open to the atmosphere, gas pumps and other environmental conditions, and if left untreated, will cause a myriad of starting, performance and corrosion problems. By keeping water dispersed in tiny molecules and safely moving it out of the tank through the combustion chamber, Quickshot helps maintain engine performance and protects against damaging corrosion.
3. Dirty Gasoline
All gasoline sold in Canada contains detergent additives. These detergents are not enough to prevent deposits, gum and varnish from building up on critical fuel system components however. Quickshot is formulated to detach and carry away deposit build-up in fuel systems, injectors and carburetors, as well as clean stubborn deposits from piston tops, spark plugs and other combustion chamber components.

Applications
Quickshot is recommended for use in all two- and four-stroke gasoline-powered small engines, including motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, personal watercraft, ATVs, edgers, tillers, mowers, snowblowers, chainsaws, generators and farm and construction equipment.
Recommendations
Quickshot is designed for an initial clean-up dose of 8 oz. per 6 gallons of gasoline, followed by 8 oz. per 12 gallons thereafter.
