International Fuel Technology Completes Fuel Injector Nozzle Testing at Prodrivev
5% Reduction in Nozzle Deposits Realized
ST. LOUIS – (Business Wire) –June 17, 2004 – International Fuel Technology Inc. (OTC BB: IFUE), the developer of a series of environmental fuel additives and fuel blends designed to increase fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions, announces the completion of fuel injector nozzle testing in diesel engines at Prodrive, a U.K. based test facility (www.prodrive.com).
Prodrive is the largest independent engine, fuels and lubricants test laboratory in the U.K. with additional locations in the United States, Australia and Southeast Asia. Prodrive is also a world renown independent motorsport company managing integrated full service programs for vehicle manufacturers including Ford, Ferrari, Subaru and Aston Martin.
The purpose of the testing at Prodrive was to verify another benefit of IFT’s additive technology by measuring injector nozzle deposits in a diesel engine after using diesel fuel additized with DiesolIFT™. The testing demonstrated a 5% reduction in injector nozzle deposits when DiesolIFT™ was utilized compared to stand alone diesel fuel.
Ian Hurst, IFT’s Technical Development Manager stated, "This test confirms our belief that our additive technology helps clean the engine allowing for better engine performance. A 5% reduction in injector nozzle deposits is a meaningful amount for an all purpose additive that is designed and proven to increase fuel economy."
Gary Kirk, IFT’s Director of Sales and Marketing added, "We are in the process of completing a number of tests at Prodrive to confirm specific aspects of our additive technology within an engine. These tests will continue to evidence the breadth and efficacy of our technology and provide us with new platforms to market our technology."
