U.S. Corporation Wins Award for Emissions-Lowering Fuel Reformulator
U.S. Corporation Wins Award for Emissions-Lowering Fuel Reformulator
Ethos Environmental, Inc., a San Diego-based company, received the prestigious West African Institute of Direct Marketing Award for providing the best fuel-saving product in the region.
Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator, a blend of fuel reformulating esters that increase fuel efficiency while decreasing harmful emissions, is being used in several African countries to combat growing pollution problems.
John Chika Uyanwune, managing director of Chika Oil & Gas Ltd. and a distributor of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator in Africa, commented that "the majority of African cars and trucks are older vehicles imported from Europe or Japan, with most vehicles over 8 years old. Engines used for that length of time -- especially under the harsh conditions and sub-standard maintenance common in Africa -- experience significant carbon build-up and a corresponding loss in fuel efficiency. Thus, African vehicles typically average only 75% fuel efficiency for Japanese cars and 50% for cars made in Europe. It has been estimated that Nigeria alone loses millions of dollars each day to widespread fuel inefficiency."
In Nigeria, the use of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator has produced remarkable results on aging vehicles, with fuel efficiency returning close to 100% with continued use, and up to 20% improvement in fuel economy.
After a technical, scientific and economic evaluation of Ethos Fuel Reformulator, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Environment has endorsed the use of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator for its effectiveness in reducing fuel consumption and curbing harmful emissions. The Nigerian army, Union Bank Nigeria, and numerous additional organizations have implemented the use of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator.
Elsewhere in Africa, Uganda's National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is the organization charged with coordinating, monitoring and supervising all activities in the field of the environment. According to NEMA's managing director, Michael Kinyua, "the use of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator increases efficiency of combustion, ultimately reducing emission of smoke and fuel usage. Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator boosts viscosity of lubricants making the engine last longer."
Ethos Environmental, Inc. is proud to provide a product that supports environmental efforts in Nigeria and Uganda, and will continue to share the benefits of Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator with countries across the African continent.

The combination of cleaning and lubricating esters in Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator stabilize the fuel without changing its specifications.
What is an Ester?
An ester is a group of liquid or solid compounds formed by the reaction of an acid and an alcohol with the elimination of water. There are organic and synthetic esters. For example most natural oils, fats and waxes are esters. More common esters are beer, soap and polyester used in clothing.Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator contains non-toxic, non-hazardous synthetic esters. In Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator a group of low molecular weight esters clean the dirty deposits formed by fuels and the combustion process. These deposits lower performance of an engine making it less fuel-efficient. Causing it to exhaust raw fuel, which is the primary contributor to pollution. A group of high molecular weight esters lubricate the engine surfaces as the fuel runs through it. Their molecular structure is small enough to penetrate the metal and form a lubricating layer between surfaces. This process allows the moving components of an engine to operate smoother and with less power-robbing friction and heat.
Is Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator an Additive?
EPA registered additives are derived from petroleum. Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator is a reformulator, even though you “add it” to the fuel. Ethos is non-toxic and non-hazardous. Ethos for Earth Fuel Reformulator cleans and lubricates the internal parts of the engine without the use of petroleum derived products commonly found in fuel additives. Allowing the engine to burn fuel more efficiently thereby, reducing emissions.

Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator Use With Diesel Fuels
A major percentage of all problems with diesel engines are related to fuel quality. Diesel fuel can sometimes vary from one shipment to another or from one area to another. Customers also switch from one fuel vendor to another and suppliers sometimes change the fuel they are offering. The three things that vary the most in diesel fuel are cetane, weight and viscosity. Cetane is defined as the susceptibility of the fuel to self ignite. Acceptable cetane levels are between 40 and 45; however, very few fuel distributors advertise this since each batch may be different. Cetane can influence both starting and combustion roughness of an engine. High altitudes and low temperatures demand increased cetane number of the fuel.
The weight of the fuel or specific gravity plays a major role in the heat content of the fuel. Number 1 is a "lighter" grade while number 2 is "heavier" or weighs more per gallon. While the lighter fuel (#1) has a lower "cloud point" and may provide better starting in cold temperatures, the heavier fuel (#2) has better lubricating qualities and actually contains more heat units (BTU’s) per volume. Assuming the fuels are the same price, better fuel economy is obtained by using #2.
The third aspect of fuel to consider is viscosity. Since "lighter" (#1) fuel is less dense it becomes thinner when heated than the heavier #2 fuel. When this occurs more fuel begins to leak through the high pressure parts of the injection pump which actually causes the injection pump to pump less fuel. As the fuel temperature continues to increase, more fuel is lost through leakage and this results in a power loss of between 1% and 7%.
Taking all these things into consideration #2 diesel fuel is the best all around fuel for the diesel engine. Buying fuel from a reputable dealer is a good way to insure high quality fuel. The best ones seem to be places that move a lot of diesel fuel such as truck stops, etc. The only way to insure your fuel quality is to treat it yourself and since every tank may be different every tank will need to be treated. A vital reason to continue reading the next section of this Ethos for Earth's article.
Why do I need to treat my diesel fuel?
A treatment is needed when the diesel fuel is lacking a substance or has a contaminant. The most common reason for treating diesel fuel is to provide extra lubrication. Almost every fuel injection component requires the diesel fuel to lubricate at least some part of that component. Since low sulfur fuel was introduced, the lubricating quality of diesel fuel has varied greatly. Some suppliers put in an additive for this and some do not. Each tank of fuel you fill up with can be different. Since low sulfur fuel began being used in on-highway vehicles we've seen the life expectancy of the fuel injection system drop as much as 25%. This is great for the repair business but bad for diesel vehicles in general especially since fuel injection components keep getting more and more expensive to repair. Taking this into consideration, treating diesel fuel with a lubricant is more like an insurance policy against wear and although it does not stop the wear, consistent use can delay repairs considerably.
With cleaning and lubricating esters, Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator is on the cutting edge of fuel lubrication technology. Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator causes fuel to burn more completely, raising the BTU output of diesel fuels, resulting in a net gain in mileage above it's cost. When you add up extended repair intervals plus fuel savings dividends, Ethos for Earth's Fuel Reformulator really multiplies the number of advantages to the user.
