As one key response to the recent increases in fuel costs at the pump and their concern for the environment, Global Fuel Technologies, Inc., of Newark, New Jersey, has developed new fuel products guaranteed to deliver significantly reduced emissions and increased fuel economy. Their main product, Nitro MPG, a non-petroleum blend of compounds, when added to any internal combustion engine — with both gasoline and diesel fuels — delivers more torque and greater performance.
(PRWEB) July 7, 2006 -- Cars and light trucks, which include sport utility vehicles, pickups, and most minivans, emit more than 300 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year in the United States. The transportation sector alone is responsible for about one-third of our nation’s total production of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that contributes in a big way to global warming.
As one key response to the recent increases in fuel costs at the pump and their concern for the environment, Global Fuel Technologies, Inc., of Newark, New Jersey, has developed new fuel products guaranteed to deliver significantly reduced emissions and increased fuel economy. Their main product, Nitro MPG, a non-petroleum blend of compounds, when added to any internal combustion engine — with both gasoline and diesel fuels — delivers more torque and greater performance.
A typical engine does not force enough oxygen for 100% fuel combustion, not even with turbochargers and superchargers. It is this lack of oxygen that keeps the engine from burning more than about 85% of hydrocarbons/fuel during combustion in a well maintained, efficient, modern engine. Nitro MPG, when added to gasoline or diesel fuel, frees oxygen molecules into the combustion chamber increasing the percentage of hydrocarbon combustion up to 99.99% of the fuel. This added combustion delivers more torque and can increase fuel mileage by as much as 15% to 20%. The company has recently tested their products to demonstrate the attributes and effectiveness. There are Nitro MPG formulations for Diesel, Gasoline, and Hybrid vehicles, in addition to industrial applications. Each is specifically formulated to increase torque production through more complete combustion; up to 99.9% of the fuel used is generating power.
“Many years of development and testing have gone into producing the Nitro MPG line of products,” explains Phil George, President of Global Fuel Technologies, Inc. “The applications are enormous for our products, and drivers will see immediate results in increased power and performance. And the environmental benefits are significant as well.”

Global Fuel Technologies Testing Fact Sheet
The two-stage testing began by base lining the vehicles’ emissions for HC (unburned hydrocarbons) and NOx (nitrides of oxygen) on all three vehicles without Nitro MPG. The second step was to baseline the horsepower and torque output of the vehicles using the Mustang Dynometer. The purpose of gauging a baseline measurement was to get actual data on emissions and performance prior to adding Nitro MPG to their gas tanks. Once baseline measurements are taken, vehicles received Nitro MPG in a ratio of 0.75 ounces per gallon of fuel in their tanks. Then they were driven 30 miles and returned to be re-tested. Once the new performance data was obtained they underwent emissions testing.
Emissions 1:
- HC went from 26 PPM (parts per million) to 10 PPM while NOx went from 0.488 PPM to “0” PPM.
- This represents a 70% decrease in HC and NOx was so low it couldn’t register.
- This clearly indicates that almost 100% of the fuel was being burned and not
- Going out the tailpipe while the lower NOx indicates that the temperature during
- Combustion was lower and more efficient.
Power Numbers 1:
- Maximum torque went from 260.5 to 267.4 lb. ft. at the same RPM, and HP went from 275 to 281 with the power curve moved up in the band by 750 RPM. This is a modest gain, but the 6.9 lb. ft. can be felt when stepping on the throttle.
- HP went up from 275.5 to 281.0, and this 5.5 pony increase is easily felt at any speed.
- The real difference in power is the very broad torque band where it starts higher, at the same 2900 RPM, and stays strong all the way to 5500 RPM. It is important to note that with Nitro MPG performance the engine stayed close to maximum HP from 5300 RPM to 6500 RPM.
Emissions 2:
- HC went from 42 PPM to 17 PPM. This represents a 60% decrease in HC and NOx was so low it couldn’t register.
- This clearly indicates that almost 100% of the fuel was being burned and not
- Going out the tailpipe while the lower NOx indicates that the temperature during
- Combustion was lower and the burning was more efficient.
Power Numbers 2:
- Maximum torque went from 277.9 to 307.5 lb. ft. at the same RPM, and HP went from 206 to 217.5. The maximum torque RPM moved down in the band by 250 RPM. This is a major gain in torque.
- HP went up from 206.7 to 217.5, and this 10.8 power increase is available at all speeds from 2900 RPM to 6500 RPM.
- The real difference in power is the very broad torque band where it starts higher, at the same 2000 RPM and stays strong all the way to 5000 RPM.
- With Nitro MPG Performance the engine stayed close to maximum torque from 2000 RPM to 5000 RPM. The maximum power lasts longer and lets the engine work easier.
