The Fuel Reformer
The Fuel Reformer

  • The Fuel Reformer is a device, which alters the molecular structure of petroleum-based fuels just before they are injected into an engine. In the simplest explanation, the Fuel Reformer is mounted in the fuel line between the gas tank and the fuel rails (where the fuel enters the engine). The fuel flows through our device and is "reformed" using our patented technology. The reforming process essentially makes the fuel able to burn more completely. The reformed fuel is then introduced into the engine as usual. This "higher efficiency fuel" directly yields more miles per gallon (MPG) while at the same time reducing the exhaust emissions. Additionally, we have evidence that the device reduces wear and tear on the engine. A more complete burn of the fuel produces less contaminants in the engine's lubrication resulting in longer engine life, and fewer oil changes.

  • The reformed fuels burn more efficiently thus increasing miles per gallon and reducing emissions as well as engine wear. The device has been tested for over 80,000 miles in actual road tests in every type terrain and weather condition as well as in an EPA certified laboratory. The results from tests done in December 2010 demonstrate a 40% increase in highway fuel mileage and a reduction as much as 60% in some harmful tailpipe emissions.

Miles Per Gallon

The Environmental Testing Corporation, a high altitude Denver test facility, performed the tests. These results do not take into account that the EPA sticker estimate is at sea level (normally giving higher mpg results) while our test results were obtained at 5,000 feet elevation. The Company anticipates results will vary with different fuels, additives, ethanol substitutes, engines, etc., but will remain around 20 to 25% overall MPG improvement.

 

 

 

Emissions

Emissions test results were gathered simultaneously with MPG performance. ETC used the same "bag test" on a Ford Expedition as established and used for the major auto makers. A comparison between the tests shows a significant reduction of 56% in Hydrocarbon emissions (HC). Carbon Monoxide, also known as Carbonous Oxide (CO), displayed a reduction of 38%. A drop in 1% occurred in Nitrous Oxide (NOX), a definite greenhouse gas and ozone effector. Methane gas (CH4) revealed an unprecedented 78% drop. In Carbon Dioxide (CO2), the gas absorbed by plants to convert to oxygen, emissions, there was a 1% increase. Overall, reductions are significant. If the Fuel Reformer were rated on emissions alone, the percentage in improvements would make installation of this device a major help in decreasing pollution.

Future Impact of the Fuel Reformer

Since the invention of the automobile:

there has been a constant push for increased power and performance with little concern for the environment. Since the 1970's, a significant push has taken place to clean up the air quality and lower tailpipe emissions from automobiles and trucks. More recently, as evidenced by new standards for automobiles manufacturers to increase the combined fleet MPGs, a major effort is taking place to greatly increase the efficiencies of the automobile and truck industry. The Fuel Reformer is the answer for a global problem. The latest test results from the EPA lab produced a 40% increase in highway mileage on our test vehicle. In addition, it decreased tailpipe emissions significantly. These two factors dramatically impact the effects on the economy, the environment and security. The Fuel Reformer technology seems to be entering the market place at an opportune time for technology to have a maximum impact on a global level.
