Sterling Technology Ultra-Pure Filtered Diesel Fuel

Abstract

This report, details testing done on ultra-pure filtered diesel fuel and unfiltered diesel fuel. Several barrels of filtered fuel, shipped from the manufacturer--Sterling Technology, Inc., Jacksonville, Florida--had been tested using the 690-in. Deutz F-8L-413A Air Cooled V8 Engine. No significant difference had been found, but due to a delay in starting the tests, it was suspected that some deterioration might have occurred in the fuel. The objective was to investigate the possible benefits of the ultra-pure filtered diesel fuel in power improvement and reduction of exhaust smoke.
