Cut your FUEL COSTS by 10%! No joke, Ceramic Coatings can Help Fuel Efficiency
Powerkote's affiliates in the USA just recently discovered that ceramic coatings can save fuel! Having successfully coated the exhaust systems of a number of large transport trucks, tests were conducted on the drivers usual routes yielding astonishing results of between 10 and 20% less fuel consumption.

Huge fuel savings found in the U.S.A. after using ceramic coatings

Monitoring of fuel consumption is ongoing. The overall improvement in fuel economy from Mar 5 up to May 24 2007 is 11.0%. This covers 36,700 miles of hauling loads ranging from 8,000 to 40,700 lbs

5 August 2008

The latest test of the ceramic coated exhaust and turbo system saw 20% improvement on a Cummins Diesel. A Class 8 flat bed with a fork lift attached to the back deck for deliveries. Several empty runs were made over the same route with two different drivers. One being the regular driver and the other the owner to verify the results. Both saw fuel consumption drop from 18 gallons to 14 gallons for the route. On other loaded runs, the savings has still been 20%.This truck was monitored before coating and after, for accurate comparison. All were class 8 Turbo Diesels.

To date we have:
Volvo:                              10% plus consistently over 40,000 miles
Older Detroit Diesel:      over 9% constant
Cummins:                         over 20% constant

Note : Some gains will be based on route and load as well as the condition of the
engine.

Exhaust Manifold Coating Improves Diesel Engine Fuel Economy

Thin film ceramic coatings (TFCC) on diesel engine exhaust components reduce heat loss from the exhaust gas. The result is more available horsepower and torque that can be used to reduce fuel consumption.

Fuel Economy

Monitoring the fuel consumption of a 12L diesel transport truck engine for 15,000 mi each before and after applying TFCC shows an average 10.3% increase in fuel economy over a wide range of load weights. The improvement is statistically significant at the 99.9% confidence level.
