- Confidential and Company Proprietary -

EnerBurn® works by conditioning the combustion chamber surfaces with a nano scale catalytic

coating that doubles the rate of combustion. This causes higher pressure earlier on crank angle

which allows the engine to produce more work (HP) with the same amount of fuel. With the work

load being the same, this translates into greater fuel efficiency (gph). Because of increased work

conversion caused by earlier pressure on crank angle, the exhaust temperature of the engine is

reduced by approximately 40-44 degrees F. The emission benefits are achieved due to a More

Complete Combustion, Lower Operating Temperature, and Lower Overall Pressure. This

accounts for the Reduction of Unburned carbon being released via the exhaust and back into the

oil as soot.


EnerBurn®

Our diesel-specific combustion promoters and Application Technology

is registered under the name of EnerBurn®. The product was

commercialized by Nalco/Exxon Energy Chemicals, L.P. In January

2001, the technology was purchased from Exxon/Nalco and EnerBurn

was born and perfected. This product has been primarily used in on

and off road vehicles, construction, mining, locomotives and diesel

marine engines as well as boilers.

ROY K. STERN, C.RM. Director

Purchasing & Fuel Managernent

It is my pleasure to confirm the success of Consolidated Freightways' cost-reduction initiative using the EnerBurn technology. Consolidated began treatment of our entire Long Haul truck fleet in August 10, 1998. The number of treated trucks in this initiative has averaged over 3,000 plus in Century Class Freightliners. Most are equipped with Caterpillar or similar type equipment.

Consolidated's measurable fuel savings averaged 10.4% over the last 3 plus year period that we

have used EnerBurn. This has resulted in annual savings in excess of $14 million dollars per year.

Of course, fuel prices varied with crude oil prices during this long period.

The technical staff at EnerTeck has provided valuable fleet monitoring and excellent forecasts of

fleet fuel consumption. This serves as a value-added tool in supply and budgeting of fuel

requirements, as well as an effective monitor of the EnerBurn program itself. Our in-house

statisticians participate in the data collection and analysis, and rely upon EnerTeck's forecasts in

their own analyses.

As we developed long-term experience with EnerBurn treated engines; our maintenance department observed significant reduction in metal loss in crankcase wear parts. We have not attempted to quantify the value of this phenomenon and it remains under study.

Fuel Transfer Injection (FTI)

System

The FTI System is simply the safest and most

accurate way to inject EnerBurnTM into bulk

diesel fuel.

EnerBurnTM tanks can be custom sized to a

customer’s and may be heated or non-heated.

The FTI Injector is non-electrical and is

powered by fuel flow. Accurate engine

treatment is achieved at varying flow rates of

+/- 15 ppm.

Optimization

EnerBurnTM also employs patent-pending

methodology to optimize treatment dosages

and monitor selected fleets and applications

to quantify the benefits. Our team of

combustion specialists work closely with

customers to evaluate their fleet’s

performance and fuel efficiency.
