Agriculture and Farm Equipment
Orion 5000-EL engine and fuel lubricant has been successfully implemented on farms all across the country. Benefits for using Orion 5000-EL with agriculture include:
- Reduced annual fuel costs
- Lower annual operating costs
- Extended Equipment Life
- Environmentally safe
Reduced Annual Fuel Costs
Orion 5000-EL typically improves fuel efficiency 6% to 9%, increases the length of time between maintenance intervals and reduces consumption and increases the mileage between fill ups. Real world results prove the Orion 5000-EL increases fuel efficiency even more in agricultural equipment.
Typical fuel savings for agriculture vehicles:
- 22% per acre - John Deere 9600 combine
- 20% per acre - Ford TW30
- 20% per acre - John Deere 9500 combine
- 20% per crop treatment - Willmar sprayer
Several farms in Michigan have increased their fuel efficiency significantly by using Orion 5000-EL regularly. Two farms in Charlevoix, MI have increased their fuel efficiency by 20% while one farm in Lansing, MI has increased their fuel efficiency by 22%.
Lower Annual Operating Costs
Orion 5000-EL also requires less maintenance on an annual basis and lowers maintenance costs by extending engine oil change cycles and the life of the diesel particulate filters (DPF), fuel injectors, fuel pumps and minimizes residue buildup on exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves.
Extended Equipment Life
Today’s ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel is hard on the engine and fuel efficiency that results in metal on metal scarring, increased engine temperatures and clogged fuel injectors. Orion 5000-EL is a synthetic engine and fuel lubricant designed to cool, clean and protect internal combustion engines for longer life, and significantly improve fuel economy. The synthetic components increase lubricity and detergency to protect your engine from excessive wear and decrease the metal on metal grinding.
Environmentally Safe
Orion 5000-EL is free of all toxic and hazardous chemicals that are typically found in other common fuel additives, such as trimethylbenzene, naphthalene, ether and other hazardous ingredients and is safe to use when planting and harvesting crops. The esters in Orion 5000-EL are biodegradable and are naturally vulnerable to microbes to begin breaking down their molecules.
Orion 5000-EL is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (#: 243520001). This diesel fuel additive complies with federal low sulfur content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and non-road engines.
