BOCA RATON, Fla., Mar 8, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Geotec Thermal Generators Inc./TelcoEnergy Corporation (GETC) announces the successful development of MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver, as an economical replacement for MTBE and Ethanol in Gasoline.MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver is a revolutionary bulk fuel additive, now registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for use with gasoline and diesel fuel.
For more than two decades, Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) has been widely used as the standard bulk fuel to boost only gasoline (not diesel fuel) efficiency while reducing engine exhaust pollutants. As of January 1, 2004, MTBE was banned in California. EPA researchers have determined, in recent years that MTBE may contaminate underground water sources with potential toxic and cancer-causing effects.
Ethanol is currently used to replace MTBE in gasoline only (not diesel fuel), in California, at 10-15% by volume blended with gasoline to replace MBTE. MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver uses only 0.5% by volume, or 30 times less than requirement for Ethanol.
Dennis Y. L. Leung, TelcoEnergy's Senior Executive Vice President, stated, "We consider that MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver is the only bulk fuel additive registered with the EPA that is also capable of reducing all categories of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines fueled by gasoline or diesel while increasing engine power and fuel economy an average of 20%.
"In addition, in California, the increasing cost of ethanol and shortages may soon force the price of a gallon of regular gasoline to $3.00 and even higher for premium. We can significantly lower the fuel bills for every Californian by replacing Ethanol with MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver. We are also anticipating other states banning MTBE, which could further increase the marketplace for MACH 3 EcoFuel Saver."
This could be a huge gainer today. Make sure you watch it!
