Geneva Steel engineering reports Geneva Steel has experienced an 8.9% reduction in fuel consumption since full system treatment with FPC^® . These data correspond closely to the results of the Geneva Steel static loadbox engine tests conducted on two EMD engines in late 1997. The static loadbox tests are summarized in the Geneva Steel Newsletter.

These latest results come from a comparison of fuel consumption in 1997 before FPC^® use and the several FPC^® treated fuel months in 1998. The comparison was made in gallons consumed per day at the steel plant. Geneva engineers report that production schedules and outputs were very similar during the two comparison periods.

Further, in a recent conversation the lead mechanic for the City of Provo reported the fungus problem responsible for the periodic plugging of fuel filters in his equipment has disappeared since treating with FPC^® . Although not intended to be a biocide, one of the FPC^® active ingredients is a phenolic. Over time, the phenol will kill any microbes growing at the interface between the fuel and waterbottoms that can collect in a bulk fuel tank.
