The Effects of an Iron Based Fuel Catalyst upon Diesel Fleet Operation

This paper will discuss several aspects of fuel combustion in internal combustion engines. It will be shown that one area of significant potential cost reduction for the operator of a major diesel fleet could involve the application of a chemical fuel catalyst to improve the combustion of the diesel fuel. It will be shown that substantial reduction in engine deposits and increased fuel economy on a long term fleet basis have resulted from the use of the catalyst in several large fleets operating in Western Canada.
