DIPETANE'S INDEPENDENTLY CONDUCTED - COMPARATIVE FUEL TESTS

Group control testing is critical for correct evaluation of fuel economy and emissions, as the test shows up two effects at once. A standard monitoring system cannot do this type of comparative testing.  For proper testing you need to know:-

  1. What happens to trucks on Standard Diesel.
  2. What happens to trucks on Dipetane treated Standard Diesel.

Proper fuel testing by its nature, is very accurately done, is long term and highly expensive. It is however necessary in order to have a high degree of confidence in the results.

Eight identical haulage trucks all the same age, type and engines covering 300,000 miles per truck over a two year period were used for testing.  All eight trucks had covered the running-in period of two months. 

Each of the eight trucks were fitted with an onboard computer, connected to the front axle and to a specially fitted fuel tank to eliminate all manual recording of milometer or tachograph readings. The onboard computer includes a removable modem, coded for each truck, which is routinely taken from the truck and downloaded to the office computer, which computes the MPG or Km/Ltr. on a regular and ongoing basis, thus greatly reducing the possibility of error and providing vital comparative test figures.

Baseline Figures:
This method is used to establish accurate baseline MPG figures for both the Control Group and Testing group prior to the test and was taken over a two month period.

The Test – Two years and 300,000 Miles per Truck :
Four Control Group trucks then ran on Standard Diesel and the other four Testing Group trucks simultaneously ran on Standard Diesel treated with Dipetane.

To allow for many variables (already mentioned) which affect MPG or Km/Ltr figures, it is essential to cover 300,000 per truck covering two years in all weather conditions.


Dipetane Fuel Treatment in long term test results for Diesel fuel economy

The Results:
Based on the above data, Control Group (Non Dipetane) saw a loss in fuel economy of 9.38%, and the Testing Group (On Dipetane) saw an increase in fuel economy of 8.22%.

The cumulative effect of both groups 'Control' and 'Testing' gives an overall fuel economy difference of 17.6% under professional independent test conditions.

*Please note: All of Dipetane's claimed benefits are based on extensive field trials and a 15 year track record with Lloyds Insurances of London. Please also note Dipetane's Independent Laboratory Chassis Dynamometer, Carbon Balance and Brake Horse Power test results, i.e. what authorities recommend.

Dipetane improves Diesel Fuel Economy!

"I have always monitored our MPG most carefully and continue to do so especially in today's high-priced fuel markets. My ongoing monitoring of MPG proves to me that the initial significant fuel savings are still being achieved due to the use of Dipetane." Pat Slattery
