In today's market place there are a lot of different products on the market that claim to help you get more mileage out of the gas that you put in your gas tank. One question that I always have when I see an ad for one of these products is "how do I know this product actually works?" In this article I am going to review an additive that has been on the market since 1985. The name of this product is DurAlt.
DurAlt entered the market in 1985 as a strictly commercial product. It was put into limited use mostly by large truck fleets and in marine harbors as an after-market bulk treatment fuel conditioner. Since 1985 it has been marketed in different ways, including some private labels. Two of the most prominent private labels that have used DurAlt Fuel Conditioner are the Harley-Davidson Genuine Fuel Additive and Freedom Fuel Additive.
Whenever a new fuel additive or conditioner comes out on the market, its amazing how many of them have outlandish claims about what they can do for your gas mileage, but have very little in the way of backup data. This is one very important area where DurAlt shines above most of the other products out there. DurAlt has been tested and approved by many independent laboratories and companies including Ford Motor Company, Harley-Davidson, Columbia University, and Total Fina Elf.
Here are just a few of the benefits that have been tested and proven for gasoline engines:
Increases fuel mileage 8-12% on average
Reduces Octane Requirement by 3 to 4 numbers
Reduces engine knock
Inhibits the formation of combustion chamber deposits
Protects against fuel system corrosion
Increases lubricity, extending life of fuel pumps and top end of engine
Protects injectors
Reduces hydrocarbon emissions
Improves fuel stability during storage
Protects storage tanks from rusting
Reduces engine maintenance costs
DurAlt has also been proven to work in diesel engines as well. Here are some of the proven benefits for diesel engines:
Increases fuel mileage up to 8-12%
Increases lubricity, extending life of injection pumps & top end of engine
Protects injectors
Increases cetane by 2.5 numbers
Up to 20% decrease in emissions
Improves fuel stability during storage
Protects storage tanks from rusting
Ideal to use for bulk treatment
Up to 20% decrease in engine maintenance
For those of you that are worried about what effect using a product like DurAlt might have on the environment, DurAlt has also been reviewed by the EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and other environmental organizations. The EPA has said that DurAlt does not pose any greater health or environmental risk than unleaded gasoline. They have said that is it 'substantially similar' to unleaded gasoline, and so it is no more dangerous than the gas you already put in your tank.
From its proven benefits to the companies that have tested it, DurAlt is a product that is definitely worth your consideration if you are looking for a product that is proven to actually do what is says it will do: help your car run better!
