Rentar Fuel Catalyst
Effects On Engines Using
Bio-diesel
Bio-diesel
is being encouraged in many
states today. Bio-diesel
has its advantages and
disadvantages. Learn more
about Bio-diesel by going to the
U.S. Department of Energy
website:
http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/altfuel/biodiesel.html
The Rentar Fuel Catalyst offsets
two of the disadvantages. The
cost of Bio-diesel is a little
more per gallon but is offset
with the Rentar Fuel catalyst by
the improvement of fuel
consumption. Another
disadvantage of Bio-diesel is it
burns hotter creating increased
NOx. The Rentar Fuel Catalyst is
proven to reduce NOx thus
offsetting the increase.
Rentar was awarded a 3 year
contract with the State of
Delaware to sell Rentar Fuel
Catalyst for Bio-diesel
applications. In addition
to being installed on some large
state equipment, Rentar is
currently being purchased.
ed by the State to be provided
to farmers, at no cost to the
farmer, to exempt the farmer
from regulation if the farmer
agrees to use Bio-diesel and the
Rentar Fuel Catalyst.
The United States Army’s
Aberdeen Proving Ground
extensively tested the Rentar
Fuel Catalyst using Bio-diesel,
using the EPA testing equipment
and reported a 6.6% reduction
in fuel Consumption
and
8.5% reduction in the Greenhouse
Gas CO2.

Virginia Tech University
publishes study for the State of
Delaware comparing number 2
diesel fuel, Bio-Diesel (20-80)
fuel and the effects the Rentar
Fuel Catalyst had on both fuels.
Bio-diesel offers many positive
benefits except it usually costs
more because of the special
blending and it produces
increased NOx emissions.
The Rentar Fuel Catalyst offsets
both of these possible
negatives.
The State of Delaware retained
Virginia Tech University to
study the performance of
number 2 diesel fuel compared
to number 2 diesel fuel used
with a Rentar Fuel Catalyst
and how number 2 diesel fuel
compares to Bio-diesel (20-80)
and Bio-diesel used with a
Rentar Fuel Catalyst.
The study, conducted at the
Everett Meredith Middle
School, was paid for by the
Delaware Department of
Agriculture, the Delaware
Soybean Board, the Delaware
Department of Natural
Resources, Environmental
Control (DNREC) and the
Appoquinimink School District.

a Rentar Fuel Catalyst installed
the following result was
published: “The NOx
concentration showed a
REDUCTION OF
13 PERCENT using the Rentar
Fuel Catalyst.”
-
As expected, the use of
Bio-diesel increase NOx.
The use of the Rentar Fuel
Catalyst reduced that
increase. (exact quotes from
report - see Page 10 paragraph
6.3.2.2) “ The emissions
of NOx of B20 INCREASED
10% over number 2 oil and
INCREASED only 7% with B20
using the Rentar Fuel Catalyst
A
REDUCTION OF 3%.
