Ethos Environmental offers a cost effective solution to help industry meet environmental regulations and relieve skyrocketing fuel prices. Hundreds of millions of miles of road tests have proven that commercial fleets on average increase fuel mileage between 7% and 19% and reduce emissions by more than 30%. Commercial fleets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Europe use Ethos Fuel Reformulator. EthosFR is non-toxic, non-hazardous and works with any fuel used in car, trucks, buses, RVs, ships, trains and generators. EthosFR reduces fuel costs by producing a net gain in mileage above cost. EthosFR contains two families of esters, a group of cleaning esters and a group of lubricating esters in a mineral oil base. It cleans and lubricates the internal parts of the engine without the use of petroleum-derived products commonly found in fuel additives. the main objective is to make fuels self-cleaning and self -lubricating without increasing toxic emissions. Moving parts function more smoothly with reduced heat and friction, requiring less maintenance. Horsepower returns closer to the manufacturer specifications. EthosFR removes carbon deposits, one of the culprits that cause fuel to combust incompletely, resulting in wasted fuel that creates toxic emissions. The combination of cleaning and lubricating esters in EthosFR stabilize the fuel without changing its specifications. The overall result is that EthosFR makes engines combust fuel more completely. When an engine uses each measure of fuel to the maximum degree possible, it has two very important benefits. It reduces fuel consumption and reduces non-combusted residues that an engine expels in the form of exhaust emissions, such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and other harmful products of combustion. Unused fuel is saved in the fuel tank, waiting to be used efficiently by the engine, instead of exhausted in the form of toxic emissions. EthosFR reduces emissions without adding any of its own components to the exhaust since it is 99.99976% ashless upon combustion and it is not derived from petroleum. While the debate on emissions reduction solutions continues, Ethos Environmental is making a difference in cleaning the air today. Improved and accessible technology to measure diesel engine emissions ist still in development. The change from diesel to alternative fuel has become more controversial as research shows that natural gas may be more hazardous. Particulate matter is reduced to a micro size, making it easier to assimilate by humans. Acquisition and operating costs associated with alternative fuels has slowed down widespread implementation. EthosFR's unique blend of esters reduces emissions and implementation is economical, therefore continued use is sustainable as well as safe. Remarkable results makes EthosFR a preferred choice to reduce emissions and form part of any alternative fuel program. published by Ethos Environmental, Inc., San Diego Q: What is EthosFR? A: EthosFR is a product that is added to fuels to make engines burn fuel more completely. EthosFR is non-toxic, non-hazardous and works with any fuel used in cars, trucks, buses, ships, trains and generators. EthosFR is free of carcinogens and is not derived from petroleum. It utilizes cleaning and lubricating esters suspended in a mineral oil base. EthosFR increases fuel economy and reduces emissions. Commercial fleets on average increase fuel mileage between 7% and 19% and reduce emissions by more than 30%. When added to fuel, EthosFR reduces the emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and other harmful products of combustion. Q: How does EthosFR work? A: EthosFR reformulates any fuel, causing two important benefits. The first benefit is the added lubricity to the engine. The second is adding cleansing and lubricating action including the fuel lines, filters, carburetors, spark plugs and injectors. EthosFR also conditions the engine seals, keeping them tighter longer. A cleaner, more lubricated engine runs smoother, requires less maintenance and reduces engine heat significantly. Horsepower returns closer to the manufacturer's specifications. EthosFR removes carbon deposits that cause fuel to combust incompletely, resulting in wasted fuel that creates toxic emissions. The combination of cleaning and lubricating esters in EthosFR stabilizes the fuel without changing its specifications. Q: Is EthosFR an Additive? A: EPA* registered additives are derived from petroleum. EthosFR is a reformulator, even though you "add it" to the fuel. Ethos is not derived from petroleum and is non-toxic and non-hazardous. EthosFR 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. *EPA = Environmental Protection Agency in USA Q: What is an Ester? A: 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 FR contains non-toxic, non-hazardous synthetic esters. In Ethos FR 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.
