Enjoy Oil Change Intervals With Additional Benefits
Optimal Fuel Combustion Optimizes Oil Cleanliness, Hence, Change Intervals; Optimize Fuel Combustion With Rentar Fuel Catalyst Eric Shaffer is a marketing consultant with the Caterpillar Fluids and Filters group. Shaffer wrote a 2015 blog titled “You Can Optimize Your Oil Change Intervals R
The Benefits of Using a Fuel Catalyst — Beyond Fuel Savings
Less fuel consumption lowers operating costs, the single greatest expense related to heavy equipment and commercial vehicles. Fuel catalysts are recognized as diesel fuel saving devices that produce more energy from less fuel and reduce emissions. As a result, fuel catalysts are almost universally p
Gasoline Versus Diesel Engines: A Fuel Efficiency Comparison
Gasoline vs diesel engines — with respect to fuel efficiency — is not even a debate. Unlike in Europe and the vast majority of the rest of the developed world, it is not uncommon for people in the United States to be unaware that diesel is a better fuel than gasoline with respect to fuel [&helli
Diesel Emissions: What They Are and What Are Their Consequences
Diesel emissions recently made headlines when it was discovered automobile manufacturers were cheating diesel emissions tests. In 2015, evidence surfaced that Volkswagen was cheating on diesel-engine emissions tests. According to the Financial Times, John German — a senior fellow at the Internatio
What Determines Engine Fuel Efficiency: “Gas” Mileage of a Vehicle
Fuel efficiency is the product of two variables. Fuel density is one of two factors that determine fuel economy and thermal efficiency is the other. That is to say, fuel density and thermal efficiency determine the “gas” mileage of diesel, gasoline, biofuel, ethanol, and propane-powered vehicles
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
Condition-Based Maintenance and Increasing Engine Life While Reducing Costs
The maintenance of a car/pickup, truck, or heavy equipment is the single most important component of extending the life of an engine. But, exactly how to maintain a vehicle — the strategy by which to do so — is a source of debate. At the center of the debate is when. When exactly the best [&hell
Diesel Fuel Savings: The Quickest & Easiest Way
Diesel Fuel Savings Strategies for Construction & Development; Over-the-Road Fleets (Trucking); and Maritime Saving on fuel costs in any venture can easily be the difference between success and the failure of a company. Of all operating costs, fuel is the greatest consumable expense. Even owners
