Using a fuel additive enhanced with a combustion catalyst can help optimize fuel efficiency, while greatly reducing soot and emissions as well as the re-gens, repairs and other headaches that come with maintaining hard-working trucks and equipment.

Affordable Fuels, a full-service fuel distributor in Middleburg, Pennsylvania, is marketing its own brand, Simeon Fuel, treated with an additive called The Fuel Ox. The Simeon Fuel brand includes diesel, gasoline and heating oil, which Affordable Fuels delivers to customers throughout Central Pennsylvania. The fuel dealer is incorporating the additive into its products as a new ultra-low sulfur diesel standard is due to take effect in Pennsylvania, combined with increasingly rigid engine standards on performance and efficiency, said Arden Steiner, president of Affordable Fuels.

Mining businesses invest significantly in rock haulers, excavators, slurry pumps and other heavy equipment, and the fuel and maintenance costs for that machinery can pile up quickly while chipping away at the bottom line.

By adding a 3 oz. bottle of Fuel Ox OTR fuel additive to the tank during a fill-up, truckers can improve fuel efficiency by 4 to 8% while lowering diesel particulate filer regenerations by two/thirds.

Fuel Ox and the new Infinity Lube fuel additive product lines are reorganizing under a new company called Industrial Sustainability Group (ISG). The move will highlight the company’s commitment to the environment with 100% bio-based and toxin-free offerings, according to a statement. ISG plans to roll out more earth-friendly products soon.
