REDUCTION IN EMISSIONS RESULTS IN FUEL MILEAGE
INCREASE
4- E Corporation, Ethos fuel reformulating products reduce
emissions by burning fuel more completely, which improves
fuel mileage. Exhaust is essentially unburned fuel, wasted
fuel, so when the fuel is used more completely the engine
delivers better mileage from every tank. Efficient fuel
use also means improved engine performance, because a more
complete combustion process obtains increased power from
each engine revolution.
In the last decade hundreds of millions of miles in road
tests have been conducted. Test after test, Ethos FR products
have proven to reduce engine exhaust emissions by 30% and
more, including measurable reductions in the emissions of
hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide
(CO), and sooty exhaust or particulate matter (PM). All
of these emissions are highly toxic. As a result, fuel mileage
increases have been significant, ranging from 7% to 19%
fleet wide.
Ethos uses a opacity meter, a detection device for diesel
vehicles that measures the percentage of opacity (light
obstructed form passage through an exhaust smoke plume),
to demonstrate dramatic reductions in emissions. In more
that 1,000 heavy-duty diesel vehicles treated (a motor vehicle
having a manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) greater than 6,000 pounds), emissions were
lowered by as much as 90%. The Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) recommended practice SAE J1667 “Snap Acceleration
Smoke Test Procedure” for heavy-duty diesel powered
vehicles was used. Attached are samples of opacity test
sheets, taken from diesel-powered engines, contrasting the
positive results after using Ethos FR.
