Increased MPG and performance!

Hi All,

I just wanted to share a recent email from one of our customers on our product, 404 Fire-Power.

404 is a highly concentrated (1:300) cetane booster and fuel stabilizer in one product. You can find more info about it at Lubrication Specialties | Diesel Motor Oil | Primrose Engine Oil | Fuel Additives | Oil Additives | Engine Restore|

Hey Chris,


Finally got through a full tank and got some solid MPG numbers for my 1983 mercedes 300TD (veggie conversion). Using your "special" additive for my glycerine in the injector problem I got 21.45 MPG up from 19.0-.19.5 MPG. I am a believer of this stuff not only because it increased my mileage 15% but almost totally changed the way the engine runs. It's smoother, doesn't want to shut off when first started in the morning (almost perfect 90% there), and plus the NT stuff helped the tranny shift a tad smother and I also noticed that when I added it to my power steering fluid it was night and day.



My driving habits stayed the same, 50/50 highway or in town with lots of short trips.

I just topped the tank off last night and didn't have the additive with me but I am going to use it again and see if the second try will totally cure it and give me the MPG boost.



ALSO my truck is still out of commission with Head Gaskets or EGR stuff so I have not got to try to the Trio in there yet... But i did let my buddy use a dose of the Fire power in his 6.0 when we took a long trip to the desert unloaded one way and loaded with a 40 ft 5er on the way back with all the toys (dune buggy, dirtbikes, etc.) and he thought his MPG's were up around 1.5 or 2 ( so from 9 to 11mpg) and was totally thought it helped cleaned out his injectors and had more power. I told him about how I bought the trio and also about your blue diamond and bi-pass and he was really into it because he has like 90k miles on an 06 or 07 dually 6.0l and drives all over the place and would love not to change the oil all the time.



so yeah that's my quick update. thanks again for helping and if you are interested i can send you another email after this next tank in my Mercedes with mileage and if it helped any more...



Later,



Adam
