Our Advices

Fuel treatments for boats

Fuel treatments for boats

Lacking in oxygen and water, fuels are hydrocarbons within  whom bacteria, yeast and mould do not proliferate. So why is fuel in the tank contaminated ?

When filling tanks, the temperature differences between the fuel contained in the delivery tank truck and your boat’s tank causes air condensation heavy with humidity.

Added to this is moist air which penetrates the vats and tanks through the vents. This additional moist air is accentuated in regions with a strong range of daily temperature variations.

This humidity laden air condenses in the top part of the tank and forms drops of water which stream down the walls.

 

This water, in particular more corrosive, in the event of sea air, can be found, with regards its density, in the bottom of the tank under the fuel in other words “as a leaven”.

From there, micro-organisms and bacteria with water and oxygen are going to develop and multiply at the water-fuel interface by nourishing themselves with hydrocarbon compounds from diesel or petrol.

How to clean the grey water tank of the motor-home ?

How to clean the grey water tank of the motor-home ?

Grey waters are waste waters generated through the use of water for showers, dishes or washing machines.

On average, the grey water tanks of motorhomes have a capacity of about 100 litres. Depending on the use and the number of people, the tank must be emptied once or twice a week. Grey water is discharged through valves or hatches, which discharge directly under the motorhome. It is imperative that grey water be drained into an appropriate discharge on service areas.

We advise to clean the waste water tank twice a year with EUCANETANK in order to remove soap and grease deposits. Its treatment has a purifying function that will neutralize bad smells. Dilute 500ml of EUCANETANK in 5 litres of warm water (if it is possible). Pour the mixture into the drains of the kitchen sink and the shower. Fill with water the tank. If it is possible, drive the vehicle in order to well mix the product. Let act a few hours to one night. Drain away and rinse with clear water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need to know a bit more about Matt Chem? Discover our answers to your questions.

  • How are your products eco-friendly?

    Specialities and solutions proposed by MATT CHEM, are in conformity to the legal requirements, notably the EEC regulatory requirements in respect of biodegradability and ecotoxicity which requires rigorous selection of the raw materials used in manufacturing the products developed by MATT CHEM.

    It goes without saying that MATT CHEM is concerned about the future impact of its products on the environment and as such in minimising any effect on fauna and flora and equally relating to the provision of essential information to its end-users to ensure that they observe recommended doses, conditions of use and application both for the protection of users and of nature. 

    Because of this, MATT CHEM does not follow the current exclusive marketing and advertising “mode” which is based on "headline claims" such as 100% ecological, 100% environmental, 100% green, 100% natural … Indeed, reading such slogans can result in the consumer reaching erroneous conclusions.

    For example, the indication 100% biodegradable never specifies whether it relates solely to: 100% of the formula  or only 100% of the tensioactives. Another example; the indication 100% natural can lead to confusion. One needs to know whether the raw materials used in the composition of certain products with an “eco-label” are mineral oil-based or not. By contrast, surface active agents of vegetable origin may have been chemically transformed. Once again, the 100% natural label misleads the consumer.
