K100 test
shook it up a little to represent a drive around the block.
poured 8 oz’s of the fuel which had the recommended dosage of k100 into a cup.
dropped a few drops of water into the cup.
the water sank to the bottom and stayed there.
the water didn’t get effected y the k100.. should of dissolved the water molecules and covert them to a burn able secret suace.
the water is just sitting there.
As much as I wish it would work….this test did not confirm that.
I know that there are k100 advertisements that show water drops disappearing when dropped into pure k100 (never mixed with fuel) and when dropped into pure k100 the water drops disappear.
but that didn’t happen when water drops are dropped into fuel with the recommended dosage of k100.
From what I understand, water has to be treated at a 1:1 ratio. That's not including the treatment for the fuel. This is what I get from it.
- Eliminates water and all water related problems
You are saying that the owner should somehow know to add an additional amount of K100 equal to the amount of water expected in the fuel?? Does that really make sense to you? I makes no sense at all to me.

I am going to do a video but will post it in my truck thread. I've said I would do a video there before Fritz started this thread. Exact details from Fritz would be helpful IMO.
Did he treat at the 1:500 ratio or the 1:1000? What was used to measure the amount of K100D and what amount was it? What's a couple "drops" of water? From an eye dropper or from a bottle of water? I wasn't there to see how he did it.
The new bottles, which is the combination of their regular use additive and their long term additive, is marked with "Treat water at 1:1 ratio." From what I was told by the company, that does not include the initial dose to treat the fuel.
One new bottle of the two I have. I understand your scepticism here as no one knows what amount of moisture will be present in the fuel they buy when they fill up at the station of their choice.
This is the older bottle after they combined the two diesel additives into one to be called K100D+.
So with that being said, I don't think K100 makes claims that it will handle any amount of water with a normal dose of it. When a test is done like this, it shows how the water will be absorbed in the fuel and handled. In real life, there's always the unknown and risks.
I will admit that my personal policy of not emptying the DFCM monthly is probably risky. I know that now and will probably start checking it because a bigger dose of water will over Power the normal dose in the fuel.
Stay tuned for my video on my thread.
only one time did I see any water when I drained the filter. It was a drop as small as the head of a pin. I generally fill up at high volume stations and don’t let the truck sit for long periods with the tank really low. Don’t know if that helps.
Shock it up to ensure dispersement
drained 16 oz of the fuel and k100 mix into a quart jar. Dropped a few drops of water into the jar and all the water just sank to the bottom.
the molecular bond between the hydrogen and oxygen was unaffected and the water did not become encapsulated in k100 . The water drops just sat there.
I expected at least 1 drop of water to disappear..it didn’t.
someone said I’m supposed to go back and add additional k100 to match the amount of target water…that does t make sense to me….but I will try that the next time I do this test.

there are two methods for dealing with water in fuel. Emulsification and de-emulsification.
opti-lube, and a few others use de-emulsification to cuase the water to drop out of suspension and you ultimately have to drain it out of your water separator.
emulsifiation works on the principal of dispersing the water into large volumes of fuel and allowing the fuel with this % of moisture pass thru your fuel system.
so in this case…we have a product that works on the principal of emulsification that did not emulsify the water into a larger volume of fuel. The k100 behaved like a de-emulsifier and allowed the water to pool at the bottom.
