• The Fuelsaver product is a "catalyst delivery system". This is an automotive fuel saving system using platinum which can increase the fuel mileage of gasoline-powered vehicles to 22% fuel savings
• The system operates by injecting platinum , in vapor form , into the gas-air mixture to burn more completely inside the engine , in the same way that the platinum in the catalytic converter causes the unburned fuel to burn.
• The system consists of a molded plastic container which contains a platinum solution . Engine vacuum draws the platinum vapor into the intake manifold where it joins the fuel air mixture entering the engine.

How Does The System Work ?

• With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gasaver adds microscopic quantities of platinum to the fuel air-mixture entering the engine.
• Platinum has the unique ability to make non-burning fuel burn. With platinum in the flame zone , you increase the percentage of fuel burning in the engine from 68 to 90 %.
• Normally that additional 22% of the fuel would only burn when it came in contact with the platinum surface of the catalytic converter . Unfortunately , the catalytic converter process takes place outside of the engine, where the energy produced cannot be harnessed to drive the vehicle.
• With the platinum in the combustion chamber. 22% more of each gallon of fuel burns inside the engine so that 22% fewer gallons are required to drive the same distance.

Benefit Of The Catalyst Delivery System

• Increases gas mileage
• Lowers emissions
• Substantially reduces carbon build up within the engine.
• Increases the life span of an engine.
• 22% Fuel savings
• Costs Less than a catalytic converter.

Will This Product Affect Manufacturers Warranties If Applied After Engine Production

• The Magnison and Moss Act was passed by congress in regards to retro- fit devices. This act states, in effect, that companies cannot refuse warranty work alone on the basis that a device has been added. The manufacturer has to prove 100% that the add on device caused damage.

Gasaver Performance

Engine dynamometer tests were conducted on a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine, with and without the Gasaver installed, at Harry Hyde Engine Inc. Charlotte, North Carolina , In March 1980.

The test conditions of 2,600 rpm and 58 pounds of torque simulated a 3,800 pound vehicle raveling at 55 mph . Test chamber temperature, and engine water temperature and pressure were controlled to simulate road driving conditions. Tests were run for six hours a day over a seven day period . Measured fuel consumption on the 85,000 mile test engine improved over the baseline ( without Gasaver ) figure each day, stabilizing on the fifth day. The following is a tabulation of the test results of the final 19 of 34 tests that were run on the fifth day. Each test was of ten-minute duration.

Baseline Fuel consumption without Gasaver .......................................................13.18 mpg

Test No.	MPG	Test No.	MPG	Test No.	MPG
1	15.72	7	15.71	13	15.60
2	15.71	8	15.67	14	15.62
3	15.65	9	15.70	15	15.57
4	15.68	10	15.66	16	15.60
5	15.70	11	15.63	17	15.63
6	15.69	12	15.58	18	15.69
				19	15.69

Average Fuel Consumption with Gasaver..........................................................15.66 mpg

Percentage Improvement...................................................................................... 18%

The Following is excerpted from the sworn testimony of Harry Hyde before an Administrator Procedure of the Federal Consumer Protection Office on 22 July 1982 At Boston , MA

" I was always a bug for buying something something and testing it myself . This is the only fuel saving device that I found that actually contributed - the first thing that I had seen that did work. I was digging and probing and trying to fail this thing . I didn't want to lay my reputation on the line for selling a product that was no good - that I was still skeptical about . But I have never found less than 10% improvement with the Gasaver in the cars that I tested . Including six - and eight cylinder Chrysler, Ford, And Gm Cars and the VW."

" What's more , After Running that old Chevy engine on my engine dynamometer for six or seven days , the Gasaver had done a masterful job of cleaning up the inside of the combustion chamber . An engine that's sloppy, dirty, greasy mess inside would cost a lot of fuel miles just by being dirty. The clean-up that I saw in the engine was worth more than the fuel I was saving. "

Harry Hyde has built race cars and race engines, and raced in stock car races since 1946. He has over 300 wins, numerous track records, and ten Midwest Championships. He has also set 30 world at Tallageda, Alabama Pike Peak, Colorado, and Bonneville Flats, Utah. He ha raced with a number of drivers including Bobby Allison, Buddy Baker, Bobby Unser and Gordon Johncock. He has also done extensive engine and vehicle testing for Chrysler Corporation and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. he was elected to the Mechanics Hall of Fame 1971.

Clinton Firm takes sting out of gas price hikes
By: Claude W. Brenner

Bucking the trend of most Massachusetts manufacturers, National Fuelsaver Corporation of Boston has more than doubled its sales since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. What's more, the company sees bright prospects for continued unabated growth. The product that has spurred this growth is the Platinum Gasaver,a system that reduces fuel consumption in gasoline-powered automobiles by a measured average 22 percent. Hundreds of thousands of motorists throughout the world have used this Massachusetts-bred technology since the company first introduced the product to the broad market five years ago. Now, as surging oil prices coupled with budget-balancing increases in federal and state. taxes push pump prices to record-high levels, the Platinum Gasaver is more in demand than ever.

Invented by Joel Robinson, the Company's Technical Director, the Platinum Gasaver works on the same chemical principle as the automobile's catalytic converter. The platinum surface of the federally mandated converter serves as a catalyst to promote the combustion of unburned fuel in the exhaust."By bringing that chemistry into the engine itself," states Robinson, "we get useful work out of the fuel that is now being wasted."

Protected by US. and foreign patents, the Platinum Gasaver infuses molecular levels of platinum and rhenium compounds into the engine's air-fuel mixture. "With platinum as the catalyst in the flame zone," Robinson declares, "a more complete combustion of the fuel is achieved in the engine cylinder, resulting in the average 22 percent reduction in fuel consumption that we have demonstrated in both laboratory and large-scale road tests." Robinson acknowledges that the device is not a universal panacea. "It works best in the six and eight-cylinder gas guzzlers," he says, "although many users have reported very satisfactory results in the newer more fuel-efficient cars." . In addition to getting more miles per gallon, many motorists derive a further cost benefit from the infusion of the rhenium compound. This action mirrors the refinery cracking process where rhenium is used as a catalyst in producing higher-octane gasoline. One of the company's patents establishes an increase of three to five points in octane rating with Gasaver, allowing motorists to use regular unleaded gasoline in cars that normally call for premium grades.

The Gasaver meets the emission standards of all 50 states. While the company makes no further claims, in those states where emission testing is now part of the annual vehicle safety inspection, users report significant reductions in exhaust pollutants. In light of these results and of its own on going development program, the company has turned its attention to suppression of noxious emissions from the heavily polluting diesel engine.

With chemistry tailored to the diesel's fuel and combustion characteristics, the company has adapted the Gasaver technology to infuse a molecular mixture of compounds of the platinum group into the diesel's combustion chamber. The results are nothing short of dramatic. In a paper presented at the Future Transportation Technology Conference of the Society of Automotive Engineers in Vancouver, Canada a year ago last August, the company documents simultaneous reduction of exhaust soot and nitrogen oxides by as much as 90 percent.

Measurements were made on both chassis dynamometers and on road vehicles as well as on stationary generators over a, wide range of engine loads and rpm ranges with an array of commercially available diesel fuels. Not a typical are the results of tests on a fleet of Los Angeles County Sheriff's buses. Reductions in opacity-a measure of soot in the exhaust-from 87 percent to 25 percent (71 percent) and nitrogen oxides from 1200 parts per million (ppm) to 380 ppm (62 percent) were achieved on one vehicle. On another opacity was reduced from 50 percent to 5 percent (90 percent) and nitrogen oxides emissions from 2000 ppm to 200 ppm (also 90 percent). Results with stationary generators are equally impressive. In one extended test nitrogen oxides was reduced from 2500 ppm to 7OO ppm (72percent). No significant reductions in fuel consumption are realized in the diesel engine application.

A great deal of interest is being shown in this product in Western cities where temperature inversions and other climatological phenomena produce historic smog problems, exacerbated by vehicle emissions. In addition to. those in Los Angeles, municipal officials in.Albuquerque and Denver among others are purchasing National Fuelsaver's emission-control device for diesel-powered city vehicles. In addition they are considering and in some cases have already implemented ordinances regulating acceptable levels of noxious emissions from diesel engines.

The problem is an international one. For example, motorists in Mexico City are permitted to drive only six days of the week because of the severe smog problems there,and motorists in Santiago, Chile are facing similar restrictions because of the severity of that city's smog.

The effectiveness of the device in stationary diesel generators is important as well. Public Utility Commissions in many states, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, now require that stationary diesel generators above certain power ratings may not violate the state's air quality standards if they are to be given an operating permit.The relevant Massachusetts regulation issued by the Department of Environmental Protection is 310 CMR 6.00 - *00 which became effective on 1 June 1990.

In the face of periodic international oil crises, dwindling supplies, and ever-worsening environmental pollution, Clinton's National Fuelsaver Corporation is making significant contributions to energy conservation and preservation of the environment. It is also helping to maintain the image of Massachusetts as a center of innovation and to restore it to one of manufacturing strength.
