Fuel Consumption improved by 11%/km post Fitch installation

Large Diesel Engines
Engine: 7.3liter Mercruiser 270 HP rated
Lab: Marine Corporation of America Franklin Indiana

Test Results
  HP Firing Pressure (psi) Exhaust Temp (F)
Baseline   266 @3400 1711 1156
With FFC   268 @3400 1740 1151

Fuel Consumption declined from 19.1 gal / hour to 17.4 gal / hour post Fitch installation

Summary: The engine picked up 2 HP, increased fuel efficiency by 1.7 gallons per hour. Exhaust temperature was 5 degrees cooler. Firing Pressure rose 29 PSI. Firing pressures are a result of fuel and air mixtures and the percentages of the fuel burnt. The more complete the burn in the combustion chamber, the higher the firing pressures will be. Results of this test indicate fuel economy increased 10% without any loss of power.

"Emission Pollutants"

Greenhouse &
Tropospheric Gases
Environmental Impact & Health Risks Avg % Reduction with Fitch
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) a green-house gas, produced by incomplete combustion. Climate Change and carcinogenic.
5 - 12 %
Carbon Monoxide (CO) a toxic by-product of incomplete combustion. Climate Change and carcinogenic.
10 - 30%
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) also a greenhouse gas, which is formed by the interaction between oxygen and nitrogen in high temperatures and pressures found in engine combustion chambers. Contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone & smog.
5 - 18%
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) which contributes to the formation of acid rain, dependent upon sulfur content of fuel (typically low for cars and trucks). Contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone & smog.
5 - 10%
Hydrocarbons which can release CO2 and produce NOx. Climate Change. Contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone & smog and is respiratory irritant.
10 - 50%
Particulate Matter is a complex mixture of airborne particles that differ in size, origin and chemical composition. Contributes to the greenhouse effect & global warming. Exposure may cause heart and lung disease, and may worsen acute and chronic bronchitis and asthma.
