Diesel Repair September
15, 2000 To: Mike Downs You introduced MILITEC-1 to
us just over a year ago when a truck in your own fleet, #75, was unable to pass
the California State Opacity test, then later passed with no maintenance other
than adding MILITEC-l to the engine oil. We were a bit skeptical at first, but
since you had such excellent result, we decided to try it, too. We are glad we did, and so
are our customers. Here are a few reasons why we feel MILITEC- 1 is an excellent
product: Emissions
reduction:
MILITEC-l cuts Diesel tailpipe emissions. Since the state of California and the
EPA are now focusing their attention on Diesel emissions, this is very
important. We have seen many trucks
that either have difficulty or are unable to pass the current opacity tests. One
was a 1973 GMC with 221,878 miles on the odometer. It looked like it might need
a major overhaul soon. On the first snap of the smoke test, it actually showed
100% opacity. After numerous snaps, it finally achieved a passing score of
33.6%, but it was still very dirty. This was absolutely the best I could get it
to do, using every trick I know. I put 56 ounces of MILITEC-1
in the six-gallon sump, and then drove it to the Corona office of Downs Oil and
back - a distance of about 8 miles total. When I got back, I tested it again.
The first snap was 16.1%. When it settled down after just a couple more snaps,
it passed the test with a score of 11.8%. This 66% decrease in
tailpipe smoke was entirely due to MILITEC-l. I have seen these kinds of results
over and over again using MILITEC-1. Fuel
Mileage:
The current high cost of Diesel fuel is a trucker's nightmare. Anything that can
be done to cut the amount of fuel a truck uses will immediately improve the
trucker's bottom line. I have one good customer who
keeps meticulous fuel records on his small fleet. He has very long baselines, so
he knows exactly what each truck is capable of. I asked him to try MILITEC-l and be
agreed. Once again, he got nice long baselines with MILITEC-1 involving many
thousands of miles on all of his trucks, so we could be sure the comparison
would be accurate. After the test was over, his
fleet had increased its fuel mileage by 10.4%. This was the average for the
whole fleet. One truck actually increased its fuel mileage by 16%. Once again, this is not an
isolated event. Increased fuel mileage is the rule, not the exception, when we
use MILITEC-1. Engine Life: One of my customers has a
very high-mileage truck. In fact, it is just about to become the first million-mile motor we have seen. We feel that this extreme longevity is due, at least in part, to
use of MILlTEC-1. Other Uses: I should add that we use
MILTTEC-l in all the lubricated systems in our customer's trucks - transmission,
differential, etc. The results are excellent in these applications as well. All in all, I am very
pleased with the results we have obtained using MILITEC-1. I also find the
profits to be excellent. After initially purchasing it in limited quantities
(5-gallon pails), I am now quickly working my way through my second 50-gallon
drum. I recommend MILITEC-1
without reservation to all my customers. Sincerely, Curt Thompson |
