Using Bitron Engine Formulation and Diesel Fuel Conditioner in 360HP Cummins-powered trawler
Initially saved 5% in fuel consumption. With continued use over a two year period, savings gradually improved through 10%, 15%, 20% and eventually in excess of 30%. After 30,000 hours Cummins traded-in the motor to rebuild and re-sell it. Cummins stated that despite the high number of hours the motor had performed, it needed NO reconditioning before they re-sold it.
