The trial results shown below for Robson Civil Projects was conducted by Robson, over 15,000 hours of equipment use under the watchful eyes of our Australian distributor, Refuelling Solutions Inc. Robson treated a variety of equipment with Diesel-E, a proprietary fuel blend offering of Refuelling Solutions Inc. Diesel-E is diesel fuel infused with (at the proper specs) with the EnerBurn® Diesel Fuel Combustion Catalyst

The protocol for the Robson trial was formulated by Robson in conjunction with Simon Roycroft of Renewable Fuel Solutions.
RFS delivered Diesel-E fuel to one of Robson's job sites where a variety of pieces of equipment would be evaluated on the
enhanced fuel. All data on the equipment's ECM's were recorded prior to commencement of the evaluation
and the ECM's data was also recorded at the end of the trial. The trial period lasted for one year.
The trial had three goals
- Prove that EnerBurn® reduced fuel consumption
- Were the vehicles emissions reduced
- What were the effects on diesel particulate filters
The following efficiency improvements as it related to fuel consumption were observed. The expectations
were for an improvement between 8-12%
The company did not wish to disclose the actual result, but noted in their testimonial letter
that they were well within the expected range of improvement.
Emissions were an important part of this evaluation as the company is keenly interested in improving their carbon profile.
Improvements in both Particulate emissions and Nitrous Oxide emissions were the expected outcome.
The company did not wish to disclose the actual results of the emissions tests, but were extremely pleased
with the results. A testimonial letter was provided which gives a bit more detail on the outcome of the evaluation.
No other improvements were part of this trial but the effects of EnerBurn® uasage can reduce lube oil consumption, elongate oil service intervals which also reduces oil disposal costs and a few other ancillary cost saving benefits.
As can be noted by reading the testimonial letter provided by Mark Robson, the company was extremely pleased with the outcome of the evaluation and are currently working on providing Diesel-E supplied by Renewable Fuels to their entire fleet of equipment.
