International Fuel Technology Featured in FERIC Newsletter.Forest Engineering Institute of Canada Features DiesoLIFT(TM) Test Results ST. LOUIS -- International Fuel Technology, Inc. (IFT IFT Institute of Food Technologists IFT Institut für Fenstertechnik (German: Institute for Window Technology) IFT Illinois Federation of Teachers IFT Integrated Flight Test IFT Interfacial Tension IFT Institute for Tropospheric Research ) (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (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 International (SAE) is a professional organization for mobility engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive and the commercial vehicle industries. The Society is a standards development organization for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kinds, including (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 The Government of Canada is the federal government of Canada. The powers and structure of the federal government are set out in the Constitution of Canada. In modern Canadian use, the term "government" (or "federal government") refers broadly to the cabinet of the day and , 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 Surfactant Definition Surfactant is a complex naturally occurring substance made of six lipids (fats) and four proteins that is produced in the lungs. It can also be manufactured synthetically. technology to increase lubricity lu·bric·i·ty n. The quality or condition of being lubricious. [Late Latin l bricit , act as a detergent throughout the fuel system and lower the diesel fuel's surface tension. The underlying theory is that this improves atomization AtomizationThe process whereby a bulk liquid is transformed into a multiplicity of small drops. This transformation, often called primary atomization, proceeds through the formation of disturbances on the surface of the bulk liquid, followed by their 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 de·ter·gen·cy n. The power or quality of cleansing. Noun 1. detergency - detergent quality; the quality of having cleansing power detergence usefulness, utility - the quality of being of practical use 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 Long distance. Long haul implies traversing a state or a country. Contrast with short haul. test was a 5.2% fuel economy improvement and the comparative fleet fuel data analysis showed 5.6% reduction in fuel consumption.
