CITGO introduces TriCLEAN gasoline with more nitrogen-cleaning agents

Maximizing engine performance and drivability are two key benefits of an enhanced gasoline recently introduced by U.S.-based CITGO Petroleum Corporation. Known as TriCLEAN gasoline, this custom blend includes more nitrogen-cleaning agents to keep vital engine parts clean. TriCLEAN is specifically tailored for and available throughout the CITGO marketing area.
“Consumers have always been able to trust CITGO gasoline in their tanks, ” said Gustavo Velasquez, vice president of supply and marketing at CITGO. “These recent enhancements to our fuel contribute to both better gas mileage and lower emissions which, we know, are very important to our consumers. We designed TriCLEAN gasoline with that in mind.”
Working in conjunction with its gasoline additive supplier, CITGO conducted engine tests with multiple sources of CITGO gasoline to determine optimal engine cleanliness and response to detergent additives. All grades of TriCLEAN gasoline contain more cleaning agents than ever before. In addition, TriCLEAN gasoline meets or exceeds applicable Environmental Protection Agency and ASTM specification requirements.
CITGO, based in Houston, Texas, is a refiner, transporter and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other industrial products. The company is owned by PDV America, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), Venezuela’s national oil company.
