Oxcetane it is entirely safe to use in engines, supported by extensive testing and analysis over many years, certification and use.

Many years of testing and proof:

Hundreds of thousands of liters of Oxcetane have been widely used in many different engines with gasoline/petrol, diesel and kerosene fuels with no known issues. There have never been any reports of any form of damage caused to any engine that has used as manufactured by AMJ Chemical Inc, since it was first used in the USA in 2004, in Africa since 2008 and in Europe since 2019.

Same ingredients as in petrol/diesel: Oxcetane is manufactured only by AMJ Chemical Inc in the USA where it is registered as Oxytane. Unlike additives designed to chemically alter the fuel, Oxytane is made of the same 3 petro-chemicals already used in fuel and so is undetectable when added to diesel, kerosene or gasoline/petrol (for details see FAQs). D-975 and EN590 tests show zero change in fuel specification (see Intertek EN590 test). Oxytane is registered with USEPA and considered a pure fuel.

Oxcetane/Oxytane’s certification and testing includes:

  • EN590 certification: Intertek’s ITS Testing Services (UK) Limited certification is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization that describes the physical properties that all automotive diesel fuel must meet if it is to be sold in the European Union and several other European countries. In July 2014 Intertek certified that AMJ Chemical Inc’s product Oxytane, known as Oxcetane/X-Carbon in the UK/Europe, met its EN590 specification.
  • Registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for both gasoline/petrol and diesel: registration number: 25732001. This means it has been assessed and registered as safe to use and does what it claims. Oxcetane/Oxytane® is defined as “substantially similar” to gasoline/petrol and diesel for the purposes of the Clean Air Act, where it distinguishes which fuels and fuel additives are prohibited by the EPA.
  • Tested by Bureau Veritas – ASTM D-975 certification from 2019. This verifies that Oxcetane/Oxytane® meets ASTM (an international standards organization) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) requirements. 
  • Certified by AmSpec for diesel, gasoline, kerosene and marine fuels. In 2023, the world’s #1 provider of testing, inspection and certification services in a wide variety of industries. tested Oxcetane/Oxytane®. Conclusions: the product is safe for all fuels. When added to diesel, it increases its lubricity.

AmSpec also noted that the air/oxygen content of the fuel was lower than normal, leading more complete combustion of fuel, giving more efficiency and immediate power, resulting in fewer carbon deposits, smoother running, cleaner engines, lower emissions and lower maintenance costs.
