The Mission: To Reduce Emissions from the Existing Fleet of Diesel Engines and Diesel Powerplants. Background We currently have 6,000,000 diesel engines operating both on and off road in the United States. These power plants drive our economy by transporting the bulk of the products in the marketplace, help us to farm our land, and help us construct our cities. However, the airborne particulate matter (PM) generated by these diesel engines, according to the State of California, accounts for 70% of the cancer risk from the air we breathe. It is also the 2nd largest contributor to global warming. According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) the economic impact to the State of California from the health issues associated with diesel exhaust in 2005 was $18 Billion. For more information go to http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/diesel/diesel-health.htm While current technology enables today’s diesel engines to meet Tier 2 emission standards, this doesn’t address the millions and millions of non-complying diesel engines currently in the field. In most instances it is a cost/benefit analysis done by the operator of a diesel engine that determines what is to be done, if anything, to reduce emissions. What can be done? The six “R’s” are methods of reducing emissions on existing diesel engines. - Refuel
- Repower
- Replace
- Rebuild, repair, maintain
- Reduce idling
- Retrofit
Most items listed above are cost prohibitive to most operators, so nothing gets done. The Cost Effective Solution The Motorlife Engine Flush, either alone or used with our diesel fuel optimizer and emissions reducing additive, is a very cost effective method to address the immediate concerns. It is a highly effective maintenance service that will improve engine efficiencies, performance, fuel economy, and service life. The benefits will vary engine to engine depending on the overall condition of the engine. |
