Emissions Testing of City Vehicles with MPG-CAPS
                Wichita, Kansas       Nov. 17, 2006 - March 1, 2007

In Wichita, Kansas, the City organization responsible for servicing and maintaining over 200 City-
owned buildings is Building Services. A fleet of service vehicles is assigned to its staff. This fleet
ranges from new vehicles to others that are several years old with considerable mileage, and a few
that are up to 15 years old and in bad shape, but they are still in use.

On November 17, 2006, a number of Building Services’ vehicles were selected at random to un-
dergo emission testing prior to using MPG-CAPS and again later after using the product in several
tanks of gasoline. Drivers were told nothing except to put the tablets in their tank when they fill up.
The rationale was simple. If the tests show a significant reduction in carbon monoxide and un-
burned hydrocarbons after using the MPG-CAPS, it will be obvious that the engine is running better
and burning fuel more effeciently. If positive results are achieved, computer records of fill-ups and
odometer readings will be researched to determine fuel mileage improvements.

Following the initial emissions testing, 9 “healthy” vehicles were selected for the MPG-CAPS test.
In addition, 1 “marginal condition” vehicle and 1 “junker” were included. Follow-up emission testing
was done on March 1, 2007. The results are shown below.

  NOTE: CO = Carbon Monoxide measured as a percent of total exhaust (%)
             Measured CO must be below 1.5% to pass an emission test
        HC = Unburned Hydrocarbons measured in parts per million (ppm)
             Measured HC must be below 220 ppm to pass an emission test

This high mileage vehicle had HC levels in the 11/17/06 test considerably higher than the other “healthy” vehicles.
However, the MPG-CAPS returned it to very acceptable emission levels in the 3/01/07 test.

This was considered a “marginal condition” vehicle because of its high emissions levels in the 11/17/06 test and is
suspected of having mechanical problems of some sort. It will be sent to the shop for service.

This was a “junker” that had been retired and designated for the auction but was brought back into service to fill an
unexpected need. Its emissions levels when tested on 11/17/06 were so bad that it fouled the emissions test equip-
ment and considerable effort was required to clean the equipment and make it operational once again. This vehicle was
included in the test just to see what would happen. The results were amazing. However, the vehicle is still out of
compliance at idle, and it has been retired from service once again.

TEST SUMMARY:

Average reduction in 9 “healthy” vehicles
     CO @ idle = 96.4%       CO @ 2500 rpm = 93.0%
     HC @ idle = 70.9%       HC @ 2500 rpm = 64.3%

Average reduction for all 11 vehicles
     CO @ idle = 87.7%       CO @ 2500 rpm = 82.3%
     HC @ idle = 66.4%       HC @ 2500 rpm = 63.2%

  • 1. Emissions Testing of City Vehicles with MPG-CAPS Wichita, Kansas Nov. 17, 2006 - March 1, 2007 In Wichita, Kansas, the City organization responsible for servicing and maintaining over 200 City- owned buildings is Building Services. A fleet of service vehicles is assigned to its staff. This fleet ranges from new vehicles to others that are several years old with considerable mileage, and a few that are up to 15 years old and in bad shape, but they are still in use.

Drivers were told nothing except to put the tablets in their tank when they fill up. The rationale was simple. If the tests show a significant reduction in carbon monoxide and un- burned hydrocarbons after using the MPG-CAPS, it will be obvious that the engine is running better and burning fuel more effeciently. If positive results are achieved, computer records of fill-ups and odometer readings will be researched to determine fuel mileage improvements. Following the initial emissions testing, 9 “healthy” vehicles were selected for the MPG-CAPS test. In addition, 1 “marginal condition” vehicle and 1 “junker” were included. Follow-up emission testing was done on March 1, 2007. The results are shown below. NOTE: CO = Carbon Monoxide measured as a percent of total exhaust (%) Measured CO must be below 1.5% to pass an emission test HC = Unburned Hydrocarbons measured in parts per million (ppm) Measured HC must be below 220 ppm to pass an emission test Vehicle #000740 2005 Chevrolet C2500 3/4 ton pickup truck Miles 3/1/07: 17,222 Test @ idle 11/17/06 3/01/07 % reduct.

Its emissions levels when tested on 11/17/06 were so bad that it fouled the emissions test equip- ment and considerable effort was required to clean the equipment and make it operational once again. This vehicle was included in the test just to see what would happen. The results were amazing. However, the vehicle is still out of compliance at idle, and it has been retired from service once again. Test @ idle 11/17/06 3/01/07 % reduct. Test @ 2500 rpm 11/17/06 3/01/07 % reduct.
