Fitch Fuel Catalyst

Marine Equipment

It is estimated that each year the nation's 12 million powerboats exhaust into the environment 400-450 million gallons of unburned fuel (compared to 10 million gallons spilled by the Valdez). Treatment with the Fitch® Fuel Catalyst greatly improves combustion efficiency and would dramatically reduce unburned fuel from this source. In addition there is a resultant increase in horsepower, improved fuel economy and extended engine life. Units are available to equip everything from the smallest outboard motor to larger diesel engines, and will pay for itself in fuel savings alone after only a few months (varies with fuel cost/consumption and usage).

Ohio River tug boat powered with two 3600HP EMD engines running at the same RPM. The starboard engine is equipped with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst, the port engine is not. The emissions reduction is visually obvious.The Fitch Fuel Catalyst insures that the fuel that goes into the engine burns completely providing for the best possible power and fuel economy. Fuel that does not burn completely ends up as soot in the air or on the transom. The photo demonstrates just how big a difference the Fitch Fuel Catalyst can make. More complete combustion means big savings in fuel expense, less impact on the environment, a cleaner less maintenance intensive engine, less transom soot, and more range per tank.

Advertizing and reviews:
Fitch has appeared in publications such as Southern Boating, Go Boating, Yachting and Power & Motoryacht.
Advanced Power Systems International's Fitch Fuel catalyst was rated "Best"in an independant evaluation of in-line fuel treatment devices by "Yachting Magazine".

The results of testing were as follows:

1. Fuel Consuption was reduced by a minimum of 7% which the "Yachting" staff described as " impressive". Based on calculations provided by "Yachting" of fuel savings of one gallon per hour at $1.00 per gallon total fuel savings would be $7,500.00 over the 5,000 hour life of the product or a net savings of $6,750.00 after the recovery cost and installation charges.
2. Exhaust Emissions were reduced 30% to 40%. Reductions were seen in Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Nitric Oxide (NO) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). It was noted that since nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide decreased in parallel that it was a "sure sign of cleaner combustion."
3. Both fuel savings and emission reduction were monitored. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst performed well on both emissions and fuel efficiency, performing better than all of the other products tested.

NOTE 1: In areas where diesel fuel may be contaminated with water or algae it is recommended that in addition to the correct in-line unit that one F4T drop-in unit be placed in the tank for every 20 gallons of capacity.
