"Having an abalone fishing business, I have been around boats for most of my life. Since installing Fuelstar, fuel economy has been improved from 18 litres/hr to 12 litres/hr. I am amazed. I have also noted less smoke and soot." Chris Arendsen, owner. |

"We've had the Fuelstar product installed for as long as three years now, in six of our trawlers. We are experiencing very significant fuel savings. Just to give you some idea, we used to fish for 24 days, returning to port on the 25th day to re fuel. Since installing the Fuelstars we can now stay out for 30 days' fishing, returning on day 31. Not only does this reduce our costs but it also increases our productivity." Seth Parker, owner, ASP Holdings Ltd, Bundaberg, Australia. |

"On our first voyage after installing the Fuelstar on the first boat, we took 15,000 litres of fuel. When we returned to port we would normally have had less than 500 litres left but were astonished when we found we had an extra 3,000 litres". Greg Charlton, Urangan, Hervey Bay. |

* The Comtec product has undergone several enhancements since being merged into the Fuelstar operation. New advances in the technology indicate that whatever savings could be achieved by the Comtec product can now be substantially improved, perhaps doubled.
The above represents just a small cross section of marine installations but is indicative of the vessels involved, their power source and the Fuelstars installed.
Fuelstar has application in all marine engines ranging from outboard motors (both petrol and two-stroke) to container ships using fuel oil.
The Fuelstar provides a more complete fuel burn. This results in
- reduced fuel consumption (at least 8% but frequently 15 to 20% in boats and ships)
- improved power output and increased torque (frequently 5%)
- reduced emissions; smoke, particulates, nitrogen oxides, 'greenhouse gases'
- cleaner engine oil, thus improved lubrication, cleaner internal engine operating surfaces
The Fuelstar product is designed to prevent gelling of diesel fuel in cold conditions and prevents diesel bacteria prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Fuelstar has particular application with biodiesel. This fuel type is susceptible to crystallization and degradation resulting in the blocking of injectors and filters. Fuelstar disrupts the crystallization processes thus preventing this occurrence.
In more modern diesel engines installed with soot traps, the Fuelstar tends to prevent the blocking of traps thus eliminating costly down-time.
Life of product: 25,000 engine hours.
