Established in 1984, Cost Effective Maintenance (CEM) provides cost effective methods to correct engine problems such as oil consumption, power loss, hard starting, smoke, poor fuel consumption, blow by and chronic overheating. In 2007, CEM were granted membership status with the Australian Government's Greenhouse Challenge Plus program, which requires members to commit to energy saving pursuits.

Performance and Fuel Economy

FTC Decarbonizer made a marked difference to increase power and fuel economy.

Maximizing performance and economy without any mechanical modification can be achieved by reducing frictional horsepower losses through engines, transmissions, differentials/final drives, etc. Up to 25% of an engines horsepower is lost to internal friction. This means that a 225HP engine actually develops 300HP in the combustion chamber, but loses 75HP before it reaches the flywheel.

A further 10% can be lost through the drive train, depending on how many components are involved. Clearly, that friction cannot be reduced to zero, but there is room for improvement. AW10 use in engines alone has demonstrated a 6% increase in power in a Commodore, and 13% in an old Navara diesel on the dynamometer. Added to drive line components, it releases additional usable horsepower.

Fuel system deposits accumulate fairly quickly, and small amounts cause deterioration in economy and performance. Cleanpower restores pristine cleanliness to fuel system components to restore and optimize fuel efficiency.

FTC Decarbonizer is used widely in the mining, diesel power generation and road transport industries to produce fuel efficiency gains, even in brand new engines.

Testimonials

Rigid Tip Truck with 6V92 Detroit Diesel. (K. Wright NSW). The truck does all on site work, and had coked up badly from it. As a result, fuel consumption was down to 1.69km/L. Power and economy was restored over the next 3 tanks of treated fuel...1.96km/L, then 2.12km/L and then 2.45km/L. Other trucks on site used to pass me, but now I leave them for dead!

Ford Courier 4x4 1999 model, 2.5L Turbo Diesel 190,000 km. (Brad Buckland VIC). I used Flushing Oil Conc. & Cleanpower Fuel Treatment. These are my results...

  • Engine revs went from 1500 to 2000 RPM soon after starting the flush
  • Runs quieter and smoother
  • Starts easier with no black cloud
  • More power and torque
  • Fuel economy improved from 7 to 8.5 km/L

I then added the AW10 ANTIWEAR throughout the vehicle, and these are my results...

  • Starts even easier
  • Fuel economy improved further from 8.5 to 9.8 km/L
  • Engine runs more quietly and smoothly still
  • Increased power and torque, with more response down low, and holding higher gears travelling up hills
  • Smoother gear shifts, esp from 2nd to 3rd
  • Smoother gear shifts in the transfer case

All this, after spending $2,500 on checking and recalibrating fuel pump, replacing injectors and glow plugs with little or no results. After putting the Oil Flush through once and using the Antiwear together with Cleanpower, the car has never run this good since new. I highly recommend these products. (Brad Buckland, VIC)
