Abstract

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate appreciable reductions in the particulate exhaust emissions from diesel engines by using a certain type of diesel fuel purifying filter installed on the engine The used fuel purifier is a simple, one step unit that removes 99.9% of the water and 95% to 98% of the dust, dirt, and other normal and natural contaminates found in all diesel fuels. Even today's "clean" diesel fuel will easily become contaminated during transportation and storage. Several test vehicles were driven under normal conditions for 6000 kms. The test vehicles were mounted by the test Diesel fuel purifier, and other 3000 km were driven to show the difference in performance. Mileage and driving type were recorded throughout this period. Different tests were carried out at several intervals of 50 kms. Diesel fuel consumption was calculated and gas analyses of exhaust emissions were measured. At the result of the tested 25% reduction of fuel consumption, 75% reduction of smoke; 10.4% reduction of carbon monoxide and 5.9% reduction of nitrogen oxide were observed.
