Larson Transportation Institute’s Emissions Test
Overview of the Test:
Larson Transportation Institute conducted a detailed emissions analysis to evaluate the impact of DF5 on heavy-duty diesel engines used in fleet and industrial applications. The test measured emissions levels, engine performance, and fuel efficiency to determine how DF5 affects both operational and environmental outcomes.
Testing & Findings
Test Process
Compared standard diesel fuel with the same diesel treated with DF5.
Measured emissions across NOx, particulate matter (PM), and CO2 using Larson’s fleet-standard procedures.
Testing included both idle and operational conditions on commercial trucks to replicate real-world scenarios.
Key Findings
Reduced Emissions: Up to 25% lower NOx and 18% lower particulate matter compared to untreated diesel.
Improved Fuel Efficiency: Fleets reported a 7–10% reduction in fuel usage under standard operating conditions.
Engine Protection: DF5 maintained or improved lubricity, reducing wear on key engine components.
Operational Consistency: Performance remained stable across multiple drive cycles and temperature ranges.
Why It Matters for Fleets
Fleet operators benefit from measurable fuel savings, longer engine life, and simplified compliance with tightening emissions regulations. DF5 allows heavy-duty vehicles to maintain high performance while lowering environmental impact.
Conclusion
The Larson Transportation Institute test confirms that DF5 enhances diesel fuel for fleet applications, improving emissions, fuel efficiency, and engine protection — all without compromising performance.
