Tests completed at a Technical College in Western Kansas
During two days of testing, we tested 3 diesel engines:
5.9 Cummins with 50,000 miles on the engine.
855 Cummins with over 2000 hours on the engine.
4890 Case tractor with over 2000 hours on the tractor.
Test Purpose:
Determine if we would see a difference within a short period of time following treatment of diesel fuel with ProFuel X-2®
Test Protocol:
1. Each engine was connected to an
AwDynomometer.
2. Following a warm up period, a baseline was obtained for
each engine with untreated diesel fuel.
3. Following the baseline, we changed the fuel tanks, running
each engine with diesel fuel treated with ProFuel
X-2®.
4. During both baseline and
treated tests, the remaining fuel in the tank was weighed every 30
minutes to determine rate
rate of consumption.
Test Results, by engine:
5.9 Cummins, Dynamometer set at a 60% load.
After engine warm up, baseline fuel consumption was recorded for 30 minutes.
Engine ran for 3 hrs on ProFuel X-2®.
Within 30 minutes of switching to diesel treated with ProFuel X-2®, fuel consumption improved by 15%. However the improvement in fuel consumption during the next two hours decreased. It was observed that the turbo boost elbow started to work loose from its fittings and that the engine was losing the turbo charge. The diesel instructor present for the test was impressed that even with losing the benefit of the turbo boost that the engine demonstrated a better fuel consumption rate than the baseline. The turbo boost elbow was repaired and fuel consumption began to improve again during the final 30 minutes of the test.
4890 Case tractor, Dynamometer set at a 60% load.
After engine warm up, baseline fuel economy was recorded for 30 minutes.
Engine ran for 2.5 hours on ProFuel
X-2®.
Engine fuel consumption improved by 4.4%.
855 Cummins, Dynamometer set at a 60% load.
After engine warm up, baseline fuel economy was recorded for 30 minutes.
Engine ran for 1.5 hours on
ProFuel X-2®.
Engine fuel consumption improved by 7.3%.
The diesel instructor noticed a decrease of smoke by 50%
within 11 minutes of
using
ProFuel X-2®.
The instructor noticed the engine was crackling less.
