What is a Catalytic Converter In Comparison to a Fuel Catalyst
How a Catalytic Converter Works and Why It Can Not Improve Fuel Efficiency A catalytic converter is one of the most common devices found on a vehicle. Whether it is a passenger vehicle or a light duty pickup; a heavy-duty pickup, dump truck or semi-tractor trailer; or a piece of heavy equipment, alm
Diesel vs Gasoline Pickup: Fuel Mileage, Emissions, and Fun Comparison
The Pros and Cons of Diesel and Gasoline Pickup Trucks Compared For ranchers, farmers, construction workers, excavators, four-by-four and mudding enthusiasts, motorheads and women and men who simply love pickup trucks, there are very few topics as interesting to read or write about as engines. And,
Dubai-UAE’s Environmental Services SGS Gulf Limited Tests Boynton Beach, Florida’s Rentar Fuel Catalyst
Emissions Monitoring Test Shows Rentar Produces Dramatic Reduction in Greenhouse Gases It is widely assumed that per capita the richest people in the world are the citizens of Dubai. It can be argued that many of the most beautifully engineered modern buildings in the world are in Dubai. Dubai’s
Pros and Cons of Alternative Fuels and Why the Boom and Bust
Half a decade ago and more, bio and alternative fuels were taking over a noticeable share of the energy sector. Marketed as “clean alternatives” to fossil fuel, the bio, and alternative fuel market was praised by environmental groups, subsidized by both domestic governments and the international
What is Diesel Fuel After All?
An In-Depth Explanation of Diesel Versus Other Fossil Fuels The first things that spring to mind for most people when they think of diesel are semi-tractor trailers and heavy equipment. Most people associate diesel fuel with big, powerful engines that have a deep rumble and can do extraordinary thin
Diesel, the Best Fossil Fuel
Comparing Diesel to Gasoline, Natural Gas, and Coal for Quality, Utility, and Availability There are three categories of fossil fuels: solid, gas, and liquid. Of all the solid fossil fuels; the gas fossil fuels; and the liquid fossil fuels, diesel has the highest energy-production-to-low-emissions r
Extending Engine Life with Condition-Based Maintenance
Intuition alone dictates that reducing emissions extends the life of an engine. The logic is as follows: in part, emissions are unburned hydrocarbons and other particulate matter. Hydrocarbons and particulate matter are solids. Hydrocarbons and particulate matter attach to — and buildup on — the
How to Increase Fuel Efficiency: Operations Procedure and Technology
To increase fuel efficiency, there are a limited number of options. While there are a plethora of product marketers who claim theirs will increase fuel efficiency, it is not true. Even if marketers do not claim a product will increase fuel economy overtly, it is often insinuated that a product can d
Fuel Catalysts Versus Diesel Exhaust After-treatment Systems: Differences?
Fuel Catalysts Versus Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Catalysts Choosing a fuel or exhaust aftermarket device is a decision determined by the objectives of an owner/operator or corporation. There are only two objectives that
Diesel Fuel Savings and the Two Keys: Idle Time and Technology
Without question, diesel fuel savings are the single biggest opportunity to cut costs in the heavy equipment and trucking industries. The cost of fueling heavy equipment constitutes the highest non-operator cost associated with a construction/development operation. With respect to over-the-road truc
