What is Ethos FR?
Ethos FR is a product that is added to fuels to make engines
burn fuel more completely. Ethos FR is non-toxic, non-hazardous
and works with any fuel used in cars, trucks, buses, ships,
trains and generators. Ethos FR is free of carcinogens and
is not derived from petroleum. It utilizes cleaning and
lubricating esters suspended in a mineral oil base. Ethos
FR increases fuel economy and reduces emissions. Commercial
fleets on average increase fuel mileage between 7% and 19%
and reduce emissions by more than 30%. When added to fuel,
Ethos FR reduces the emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen
oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM)
and other harmful products of combustion.
How does Ethos FR work?
Ethos FR reformulates any fuel, causing two important
benefits. The first benefit is the added lubricity to the
engine. The second is adding cleansing properties to the
fuel. All of the internal components benefit from the cleansing
and lubricating action including the fuel lines, filters,
carburetors, spark plugs and injectors. Ethos FR also conditions
the engine seals, keeping them tighter longer. A cleaner,
more lubricated engine runs smoother, requires less maintenance
and reduces engine heat significantly. Horsepower returns
closer to the manufacturer’s specifications. Ethos FR removes
carbon deposits that cause fuel to combust incompletely,
resulting in wasted fuel that creates toxic emissions. The
combination of cleaning and lubricating esters in Ethos
FR stabilize the fuel without changing its specifications.
What is an Ester?
An ester is a group of liquid or solid compounds formed
by the reaction of an acid and an alcohol with the elimination
of water. There are organic and synthetic esters. For example
most natural oils, fats and waxes are esters. More common
esters are beer, soap and polyester used in clothing. Ethos
FR contains non-toxic, non-hazardous synthetic esters. In
Ethos FR a group of low molecular weight esters clean the
dirty deposits formed by fuels and the combustion process.
These deposits lower performance of an engine making it
less fuel-efficient. Causing it to exhaust raw fuel, which
is the primary contributor to pollution. A group of high
molecular weight esters lubricate the engine surfaces as
the fuel runs through it. Their molecular structure is small
enough to penetrate the metal and form a lubricating layer
between surfaces. This process allows the moving components
of an engine to operate smoother and with less power-robbing
friction and heat.
Is Ethos FR an Additive?
EPA registered additives are derived from petroleum. Ethos
FR is a reformulator, even though you “add it” to the fuel.
Ethos is not derived from petroleum and is non-toxic and
non-hazardous. Ethos FR cleans and lubricates the internal
parts of the engine without the use of petroleum derived
products commonly found in fuel additives. Allowing the
engine to burn fuel more efficiently thereby, reducing emissions.
