Fuel costs and emissions killing your rigs profits
Today is a new wave in the fuel assist systems for the hard pressed truckers who are operating on skinny margins and there never seems to be an end in sight.
Now on the converse if someone was to come to the table with a revolutionary fuel assist system that can change the bottom line profitability and improve the truck driver experience of driving every day trips, whether it is around the state or from coast -to-coast.
What do we know?
Over 2 million trucks in the USA drive 139 Billion miles per year at 6 mpg or less.
There is a company now set upon the path to revolutionize this industry for the fleets and owner operators, however the skeptics are going to do everything to shoot it down and unfortunately for them will be the sore losers when their competitors hit the streets with lower numbers in actual gallons used for the same trips in the past per their logs...
Of course their are a number of ways to research the quality of a product and to put a slant on it so that any individual who reads this blog or others will believe or not about a system, but this is a specific search that all truckers should print out and read in their leisure in their cabs, and it comes from the founder of the "Carbon War Room" http://www.carbonwarroom.com/news, and the link that refers directly to the truckers is an article written by Kimble at http://www.carbonwarroom.com/news/2012/11/27/news-bulletin-trucking-and-fleet-efficiency-technologies-offer-massive-fuel-and
Now it is our opinion that should an offer that this company has developed an advanced fuel cell for hydrogen enhancement of diesel fuelled commercial vehicles, with an average 50% farther per gallon of diesel that it must be some kind of trick or hoax, and nothing is further from the truth.
This new fuel assist hydroxy is going to be better than the Kleenex Tissue for the diesel fuel consumers. Believe it or Not.
The company claims that it is not one of the simple electrolysis kits, nor do they use chemicals.
Perhaps a quote from an older more famous individual will put a question in your mind...
"I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable...
... Water will be the coal of the future."
Jules Verne,
The Mysterious Island, 1874
Rudolf Diesel (born Paris 1858) noted that steam engines were only 10% efficient, wasting up to 90% of the energy available in the fuel, and was driven by the goal of achieving much higher efficiency ratios.
• In 1898 he was granted a patent for what has become known as the Diesel engine. That first Diesel engine was 26% efficient.
• While much refined and improved, the energy conversion efficiency of diesel engines today is roughly 42-50%, with higher efficiency models being designed that aim for 60%.
• It is that significant gap in efficiency where this fuel cell product provides benefit. The dynamically adjusted volume of hydrogen and oxygen gases produced become an intelligently controlled additive to the diesel fuel- air mix to improve combustion efficiency. Greater efficiency of the combustion means better fuel economy and emissions reduction. Hydrogen also merits a higher octane rating than diesel fuel.
Perhaps those of you who are still unsure and want to know more should do their own thinking and homework.
Running a fuel cell with High octane hydrogen and oxygen gases and are extracting efficiently from pure water by computer driven multi-factor harmonic optimization methods, matching our acceleration and engine demand and have increased the 4.56 - 5.37 ave mpg to get 7 mpg to 9 mpg, in the 2000 Freightliner xl classic with 60 series detroit 470 hp engine and super 10 transmission on our runs from KS-MO-TX-CA-WA-OR-MO-KS,
With a little modification (& cost increase) can even add a bunk heater turbine and run it off the same system to provide the rig and cab with heat or airconditioner.
This system even works marvelously on the Refers.
This has given owners the ability to increase orders with vendors and to be able to run longer routes for less cost.
Bottom-line is to drive hills at an even speed without suffering fatigue on personal health or rigs.
Firm say they can run 10 trucks and save $1,635,000 in costs over two years.
The system is maintained with plain water and filters changed at every oil change (if required).
Every two years trucker will get a brand new model with the refi of lease.
You work the numbers on your rig.
slash the emissions and fuel costs and feel like regain some dignity from the fuel company surcharges.
Your logs could be vastly improved and put more cash in your pocket.
Another idea is to pass 20% of the profit drivers save in fuel cost back to the vendors so they will increase their orders with you.
You may see the similar benefits with your rigs.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
