) (OTCBB: IFUE) is featured in the December issue of the FERIC FERIC - Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (Forest Engineering Institute of Canada) Newsletter on Energy Efficiency. FERIC has tested a number of fuel additive technologies and recently completed testing of IFT's DiesoLIFT(TM) diesel fuel additive. The independent fuel consumption trial, based on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) test protocol J1321, showed that use of DiesoLIFT(TM) increased fuel economy by 5.2%. (Text of the article follows this press release.)

The Forest Engineering Institute of Canada is a private, non-profit research and development organization whose goal is to improve Canadian forestry operations. FERIC is funded by a partnership between leading forestry companies, the Government of Canada, and the Provinces. Its mission is to provide all members and partners with the knowledge and technology to conduct cost-competitive, quality operations that respect the forest environment. For more information on FERIC, please visit their web site: www.feric.ca.

Gary Kirk, IFT's Director of Sales and Marketing, said, "FERIC has over 100 members who collectively burn over 340 million gallons of diesel fuel annually in their forestry operations. We are confident that this exposure will generate a number of commercial opportunities with many of Canada's largest forestry companies."

A full copy of the FERIC report detailing the SAE J1321 test procedure and fuel economy results is available by contacting IFT.

FERIC Newsletter Article.

Along with soaring fuel prices in recent years is an increasing number of fuel additives that claim to save fuel. In an effort to evaluate such products for its members, FERIC has been testing various commercially available fuel efficiency improvement technologies. One product tested was an additive, DiesoLIFT[TM], produced by a US company called International Fuel Technology Inc. (IFT) and based in St. Louis, Missouri.

IFT's DiesoLIFT[TM] uses surfactant technology to increase lubricity, act as a detergent throughout the fuel system and lower the diesel fuel's surface tension. The underlying theory is that this improves atomization atomization /at·om·i·za·tion/ (at?om-i-za´shun) nebulization. of the fuel upon injection, resulting in a more complete and efficient combustion, increased fuel efficiency and lower levels of harmful exhaust emissions. Improved fuel lubricity and detergency are also expected to prolong engine life and reduce wear and maintenance costs.

Unlike most conventional fuel additives, which are derived from petroleum sources, IFT's DiesoLIFT formulation relies almost entirely upon chemicals derived from naturally occurring oils such as tall oil. The product is biodegradable and safe to handle. The 1:600 vol/vol dose rate, and a viscosity that is very similar to that of diesel, means that it is easy for any fleet operator to additize their fuel, be it depot fuel storage facilities or individual vehicle fuel tanks.

FERIC independently conducted a fuel consumption trial, based on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) test protocol J1321, and a comparative fleet fuel consumption study, from July 2005 until March 2006, at COOP St-Felicien, QC. The result of the controlled long haul test was a 5.2% fuel economy improvement and the comparative fleet fuel data analysis showed 5.6% reduction in fuel consumption.
