PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst is composed of a heterogeneous
metal alloy that is a true catalyst by definition in that it affects,
but does not become a part of, the fuel. The Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst improves the combustibility of hydrocarbon
fuels by treating the fuel immediately before it enters the combustion
chamber. As the fuel is exposed to
Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst in the fuel tank of small engines or as it
passes through a canister containing the catalyst in the fuel line
of larger engines, the catalyst acts on the naturally degraded extreme
ends of the fuel spectrum. The catalyst acts on impurity molecules
in fuel converting them into extremely active small molecules which
have the effect of cracking any long-chain paraffins to form lower
molecular weight saturated alkanes. As a result, fuel burns cleaner
and more completely, improving the combustion process. This process
is similar to the cracking process used to create different fuels
at an oil refinery.
By facilitating more
complete combustion, the Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst improves fuel economy and increases power,
while reducing emissions. The use of the
Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst also results in cleaner engine oil, reduced
carbon buildup in the engine, easier starting, reduced maintenance,
and prolonged engine life.
The Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst may be used on any size internal combustion
engine. The product is now in use on thousands of engines worldwide
ranging from small 1/4 horsepower string trimmers to large commercial
and marine engines in excess of 5,000 horsepower. The Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst may be used with gasoline, diesel, methanol
and other liquid fuels.
On small engines such
as chain saws, lawn mowers and motorcycles, the Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst is installed directly into the fuel tank. All
larger engines are treated with an in-fuel line application the
size of which is based on the horsepower (or fuel flow) of the engine.
The Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst is maintenance-free and will last for the life of
the engine in non-commercial applications or 500,000 miles or 12,000
operating hours in commercial applications.
HOW
IT WORKS
The
Fitch
catalyst process works in a manner similar to the cracking
process used in the petroleum industry to make high octane gasolines.
Imagine a bell-shaped
curve representing the components of the fuel. The most combustible
materials are in the middle range and make up the majority of the
fuels composition but at either end there are elements that cause
ignition problems. The lighter components burn too fast causing
pre-ignition and the heaviest components burn slowly causing late
ignition resulting in smoke and carbon buildup-- it is these problem
components on which the catalyst works.
Through an electro-chemical
reaction the Fitch
catalyst converts these lighter and heavier components into
energy producers rather than to excess smoke.
USE
IT ON YOUR OWN VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT
In order to fully appreciate
the Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst you have to see it work for yourself. Drop
an F-2T unit into your chainsaw or trimmer or put an F-4T into your
lawn mower-or install an F-5T into your motorcycle or ATV. You will
quickly notice that your equipment will start easier, smoke less
and have more power. Then install a Fitch®
Fuel Catalyst in-line unit on your car or truck after establishing
a fuel mileage baseline and monitor the results.
HOW
WILL I KNOW THAT IT IS WORKING?
Certain things can be
quickly observed. The engine may run smoother and quieter. More
power may be felt and there may be less exhaust smoke. However the
most objective way to measure is by having a baseline of information
for comparison of "before" and "after." This data can be based on
fuel economy (miles per gallon), emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC)
and carbon monoxide (CO), engine oil analysis, or performance.
