WHAT IS THE Fitch FUEL CATALYST? The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a pre combustion fuel treatment device the purpose of which is to improve combustion. The Fitch® Fuel Catalyst is a true catalyst in that it causes a reaction but is not consumed or affected in the process. Therefore it is not an additive as it puts nothing into the fuel. It is installed in the fuel line of any engine just like a fuel filter. It is a maintenance- free product, which will last for up to 400,000 kilometers or essentially, the life of the engine. HOW DOES IT WORK? Testing by several leading laboratories have confirmed that the Fitch Fuel Catalyst is actually re-refining the fuel immediately prior to combustion. This is accomplished through a complex chemical reaction, which breaks the long chain hydrocarbons converting them to smaller, higher energy, and more combustible constituents, which burn more efficiently. This process is patented and proprietary to Advanced Power Systems International Inc. WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS? Any gasoline or diesel engine of any size may be treated with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Successful testing has also been accomplished on methanol, kerosene and propane. In summary, any equipment may be successfully treated with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst as long as the correct size unit is used. (Sufficient catalytic material must be present based on the fuel flow of the engine). WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE PRODUCT? The combustion improvement caused by the presence of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst produces a number of benefits. Because the fuel is consumed more completely, less fuel is burned, emissions are lowered and power is increased. In addition, engine oil remains cleaner, longer because blow-by is reduced. Because carbon build up in the engine is also reduced the life of the engine is enhanced. The overall result is a more efficiently running engine. The extent to which these benefits are obtained is a function of the age and condition of the engine, how the engine is being used and the quality of the fuel being burned. SUMMARY OF BENEFITS INCREASED FUEL ECONOMY, LOWER EMISSIONS, MORE POWER, LESS MAINTENANCE and ENHANCED ENGINE LIFE. WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO THE COMMERCIAL USER? 1. Improved fuel economy, on average 5% to 12% means substantial savings. 2. Lower emissions means complying with new state regulations and therefore less likelihood of a traffic citation for excess smoke. Less soot also means fewer truck washes and a cleaner trailer. 3. Increased power means better gradability and performance and less driver fatigue. 4. Less maintenance means fewer oil changes because the engine oil will stay cleaner, longer, as blow-by is reduced. Injectors will also stay cleaner. 5. Engine life is increased because carbon build-up is reduced. In summary, all of these benefits add up to a significant reduction in operational expenses and a quick product payback.
