FuelSave Australia has introduced a fuel-saving system that is said to cut engine wear and reduce environmental emissions from mobile and stationary diesel engines, said to lift burn rates up to 95-98%.
The system – widely used in European heavy vehicle fleet operations and in service in Australia – is said to enable operators to save a minimum of 10% and up to 20 % in fuel costs by switching to a combination of diesel and Liquid Propane Gas (LPG).
According to the company, the product is equally effective whether used on trucks, buses, tractors, mining, farming, industrial, construction and civil engineering plant, as well as equipment such as generators, compressors and fixed diesel installations.
Said to be suitable for haul trucks
The technology – which can be fitted during industrial maintenance shutdowns - works by introducing a small amount of LPG into the engine via its air intake system.
The gas acts as a catalyst to improve the combustion process, ensuring almost the entire diesel injected is burnt.
Most diesel engines have a burn rate of 75-80%, with the rest of the diesel being burnt in the exhaust system or blown out as black smoke.
With the company’s system, the burn rate goes up to 95-98%, FuelSave Australia David Redfern said.
“The long-known benefits of mixing diesel with LPG have become highly relevant at a time of soaring diesel prices, with truckies holding go-slow protests in Australian capital cities,” Redfern said.
The company, in conjunction with Diesel/Gas Australia (DGA), is supplying a bolt-on vehicle conversion system that takes just one-to-two days to be fitted to a truck.
It is said to recover its investment within as little as seven months, depending on truck mileage.
