Abstract
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.
