DIPETANE FUEL TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT RESULTS
IN SAE J1321 / TMC TYPE II FUEL CONSUMPTION TEST
“Significant and Repeatable” Improvement of Fuel Economy,
Horsepower and Engine Life in Test Conducted by Claude
Travis & Associates NEW YORK, May 29, 2008 – Dipetane Fuel
Technology today announced the exciting results of an SAE
J1321 / TMC Type II Fuel Consumption Test conducted on a
group of test
and control vehicles by Claude Travis & Associates, one of
the top three independent SAE testing firms in the trucking
and shipping industries. The announcement was made this
morning at the prestigious New York City Parks Department
Fleet Show to a national audience of fleet administrators.
“Dipetane Fuel Technology was shown conclusively to improve
burn efficiency of petroleum fuels, with resultant
improvement in fuel economy, horsepower, exhaust emission,
elimination
of carbon deposits and engine life,” said Richard
McPherson, managing director of Dipetane USA. “When added
to the fuel of a fleet of diesel trucks, they all benefit
to varying degrees,
depending on the age of the engine and other criteria.”
“Dipetane is the most effective fuel supplement I have
tested,” Claude Travis, president of Claude Travis &
Associates, declared. He is a nationally recognized expert
in on-highway
commercial vehicle fuel economy testing and previous
chairman of the joint SAE/TMC Fuel Economy Test Procedure
Task Force, with more than 50 years in the transportation
industry.
“The addition of Dipetane to the diesel fuel used to power
the test vehicles demonstrated a significant and repeatable
improvement in fuel economy,” he said. “The Dipetane used
in this test series also resulted in an increase in
horsepower coupled with a marked reduction in‘blow-by,’
which contributes to increased engine miles-to-overhaul.”
Mr. Travis noted that Dipetane’s test results are important
to fleet managers for several reasons and show marked
differences from other additives tested to date. “The
reduction in blow-by was especially dramatic, demonstrating
that Dipetane reduces
carbon deposits, especially on the rings. This test used
three trucks for better reliability, whereas most companies
only tested on one,” he added. On three 2004 Cummins ISX
engines, the average fuel economy gain was 3%; the
horsepower gain was 13 hp; and the blow-by reduction was
32%.
According to Mr. McPherson, the product performs
significantly better on older engines. “The Cummins ISX
engines are extremely fuel efficient and these results on
the ISX are very
significant. Performance with a mix of older units has been
shown to be even stronger. Field trials with New
Hampshire-based Windward Petroleum show results as high as
14%,” he said.
“I think it’s reasonable to expect that for the average
user, results will fall in the upper end of this range.”
“As we are all extremely concerned with helping to reduce
fuel consumption and emissions while lowering energy costs,
this product is clearly a solution that moves us toward
those
goals,” said Mr. McPherson. “Many assume that the answers
to our energy problems will have to come from automotive
manufacturers, but we believe that fuel improvements can
help too.
“Our data suggest that just a 3% reduction in fuel
consumption in the United States – a very conservative
estimate of what Dipetane can do – would save Americans
more than $10 billion
in diesel costs alone. Clearly, this is one area we must
look at closely; the sooner the better.” Mission
