With more than 50 years of experience in the petroleum industry as a fuel distributor, fuel products supplier, industrial lubricants company and expert in the field of fuel, lubricant and PetroLiance® engineered solutions, you have more than a proven, reliable supplier with PetroLiance®. You have a strategic partner dedicated to improving your profitability.
Before our clients get aligned with PetroLiance® and the PetroLiance® way of engineering solutions to extend equipment life, decrease costs and improve profitability, most are not aware of the abundance of threats their operation faces in the area of proper fuel and lubricant applications, storage and handling.
For example, were you aware that 40% of engine failures are attributed to a problem in the coolant system? Here are a few simple Do’s and Don’ts you should be adhering to for maximum performance of your antifreeze/coolant:
Do’s:
- DO spend extra time to make sure you’re mixing antifreeze/coolant properly to ensure the effectiveness of the product and the health of your vehicles.
- DO use premixed antifreeze, or dilute with de-ionized water, according to manufacturer chart.
- DO check your antifreeze regularly using a reliable refractometer to test the freeze-point.
- If your engine requires an SCA, DO use SCA test strips at every oil change.
- DO monitor the condition of antifreeze/coolant regularly and augment the use of test strips with periodic fluid testing.
Don’ts:
- DON’T dilute antifreeze with ordinary tap water. ASTM and engine manufacturers recommend using only de-ionized or distilled water when mixing antifreeze.
- DON’T neglect your antifreeze/coolant by failing to check it. Periodic fluid analysis is like a blood test for your engine’s cooling system.
- DON’T use “no name” antifreeze/coolant products that may have high silicate and not offer performance to industry standards.
- If your engine calls for an SCA, or Supplemental Coolant Additive, DON’T use old test strips.
- DON’T ignore the directions on the SCA test strips. Manufacturers differ substantially in directions for effective use of SCA test strips and ignoring the instructions could be giving you false results.

As a supplier of food grade lubricants PetroLiance® enjoys partnering with many food manufacturing plants throughout Ohio, Illinois, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. We consider food safety and operating costs to be a top priority which is why we provide food grade lubricants that perform well in even the most demanding food plant environments.
Food manufacturers today face many risks and challenges. Take the case of Eldon Roth’s BPI, the meat processing company behind the recent “pink-slime” media attention. In the BPI case there was no contamination involved and no health concerns. However, media backlash surrounding the ammonia-treated filler showing up in beef without a label called into question product transparency in beef products, turning consumers off and has left the company in financial duress. Read today’s full story in Business Week “‘Pink Slime’ Disaster for U.S. Meat Innovator” here.
If you’re in the food processing industry, speak to a PetroLiance® food grade lubricants specialist by calling 877-738-7699. We want to help your food manufacturing plant increase profits with PetroLiance engineered solutions to lower costs, decrease risks of contamination and extend the life of your equipment.
Using generic, low quality, antifreeze/coolant products that may be phosphated, have high silicate, and offer no performance or industry standard specifications puts your equipment at risk of poor performance and limited life.
At PetroLiance® we understand the needs of our clients, and dedicate ourselves to provide value to their business. We work to extend the total cost of ownership of each piece of equipment with PetroLiance® engineered solutions including our full line of automotive lubricants and our premium quality antifreeze/coolant products designed to provide effective heat transfer while protecting the cooling system against rust and corrosion.

Food manufacturers and produce distributors are taking notice of the serious notion not to rely on third party audits to make sure food is safe. The 2011 listeria outbreak, traced to Colorado’s Jensen Farms, occurred shortly after a third party auditor prepared an inspection rating them as “superior.”
Last year the FDA released information stating that the outbreak, which was said to be responsible for 32 deaths and 146 more people with infections, likely came from contaminated, secondhand equipment that was difficult to clean.

At PetroLiance® we consider food safety and operating costs a top priorities which is why we provide food grade lubricants that perform well in even the most demanding food plant environments. If you’re in the food processing industry, speak to a PetroLiance® food grade lubricants specialist by calling 877-738-7699.
Are you a food manufacturer still using industrial lubricants instead of food grade lubricants? Until recently, using a food grade lubricant would limit the performance of very expensive food manufacturing equipment. Surprisingly, many food and beverage plant managers have been choosing industrial grade lubricants, even after considering the cost of potential contamination, to reduce astronomical costs of equipment failures.
However, over the past few years there have been significant developments in the quality of food grade lubricants which can now outperform other high performance synthetic industrial-grade lubricants.
At PetroLiance® we understand the very specialized needs of food processors, which is why we provide food grade lubricants that perform well in even the most demanding food plant environments. If you’re in the food processing industry, speak to a PetroLiance® food grade lubricants specialist by calling 877-738-7699.
If you’re in an industrial setting, you know leaks present a serious threat to plant efficiency. Leaks represent a huge cost to your operation by wasting industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids, putting unnecessary wear on equipment with inadequate lubrication, and causing potential safety hazards as oil leaks onto the plant floor.
What could be causing your leaks? The most obvious culprits include:
Seal incompatibility, seal swell and seal shrinkage or wear.- Hose rubs or internal hose wear from high pressure turbulent flow.
- Oxidation or loosened fittings from vibrations
Contact PetroLiance®, leading fuel distributor, to find out more about our oil leak detection service. Our technical representatives are certified by both ExxonMobil and PetroLiance® to have the skills, knowledge and ability to help you improve the performance of vehicles and equipment, and help boost the overall efficiency of your operation.
