TAXIS, LIMOUSINES, & OTHER GASOLINE AUTOMOTIVE USES

Innovative Fuel Technologies is pleased to introduce a new combustion catalyst based on its Advanced Fuel Technology. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been requiring the removal of lead from gasoline since 1973. This program has effectively removed an environmental contaminant but is causing justified concern about equipment durability and performance for consumers who have pre-1973 vehicles, off-road equipment such as farm tractors and boats. Currently available anti-valve wear products provide limited efficacy and may cause combustion chamber deposits. IFT-Liquid has been demonstrated in both laboratory and on road studies to:

Increase octane
Prevent valve recession from starting
Stop valve recession which has already begun
Reduce combustion chamber deposits
Improve emission performance as much as 75%
Increased horse power
Increased fuel economy

IFT-Liquid testing documented efficacy as a total replacement to provide the functional and durability benefits of TEL. Specifically, IFT-Liquid provides:

Environmental and toxicological acceptability
Anti-knock efficacy
Valve recession elimination
Combustion chamber deposit reduction

Octane

IFT-Liquid reacted catalyst is an octane boosting engine conditioner which shows the same metal effectiveness as lead at low concentrations. A 15 ppm concentration is recommended for continuous use as an environmentally beneficial and functionally equivalent substitute for TEL. The octane benefit is shown in Figure II. This figure illustrates that AFT will provide, on average, a 0.5R & M/2 octane increase at 15 ppm in regular gasoline.

Combustion Chamber Deposits

The octane mix blend of lead and bromine co-additive was specifically designed to maintain minimum levels of lead deposit in combustion chambers. The lead coating was very effective in eliminating carbon deposits in the combustion chambers and exhaust valve areas. Withdrawal of lead leads to buildup of carbon deposits in combustion chambers. The two recently developed valve protection additives studied by USDA/EPA were found to “…result in engine deposits with unknown implications.” IFT-Liquid technology features the ability to reduce engine deposits. Dynamometer testing of the identical engine block with unleaded fuel with or without 15 ppm IFT-Liquid for the equivalent of 50,000 miles (800 hours total) = 25,000 miles with IFT-Liquid and measure – documented a 29% reduction in piston deposit thickness with IFT-Liquid™ treatment and a reduction in the resulting octane requirement increase. Similarly, two 1.8 liter engines were operated on highway for 50,000 miles each. After 50,000 miles, the unleaded fuel engine without IFT-Liquid showed 2.4 times thicker deposit than the IFT-Liquid treated fuel engine and, again, the IFT-Liquid fueled engine showed significantly lower octane requirement. IFT-Liquid reduces combustion chamber deposits.

Emissions

A recently published study (SAE 900254) of long term use of IFT-Liquid as a gasoline treatment at 15 ppm documents reduced hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and NOx emissions with two sets of 3-way catalyst equipped cars. Since valve recession is a problem unlikely with newer vehicles, immediate emission performance with the addition of IFT-Liquid at 15 ppm is more pertinent.

Conclusion

IFT-Liquid reacted catalyst has been demonstrated to provide substantial improvement in three critical performance areas with gasoline engines which are faced with the requirement of substitution lead free gasoline due to diminishing supply and availability of leaded gasoline.
