reduction of carbon monoxide emission by 15.92 %.
The change of average value from 173.247 g of CO
the reduction of carbon dioxide emission by 5.16 %.
The change of average value from 0.118 g of HC/km to 0.109 g of HC/km shows the
reduction of hydrocarbon emission by 7.63 %.
The reduction of nitric oxide was not determined within the project.

3.2 Fuel consumption
As a result of product application the reduction of fuel consumption was determined
taking into account the comparison of data received. (See PIC.2). The change of
average value from 7.351 L/100 km to 6.962 L/100 km shows the reduction of fuel
consumption by 5.29 %.

Within the tests conducted increase of engine power was determined (See PIC. 3). The
change of engine power from 85.6 kW to 87.9 kW indicates the increase by 2.68% or

3.4 Compression
The application of product resulted in positive change of engine compression (See
PIC.4). When initial data are taken before additive application, an uneven picture of
compression pressure was displayed; deviations were more than 2 atm in certain
cylinders. After the product application, the picture of compression pressure became
even. Deviations between the cylinders themselves became insignificant. Moreover
significant increase of compression pressure in cylinders No.2 and 3 was observed.

The interval of 40.2 sec was chosen to analyze the results; the speed range from 50
km/hour to 70 km/hour was recorded. The measurements didn’t show a significant
difference between the treated and non-treated car.

Shop # 6 – W/O# 203924, Xado Trial Performance Results – 2008
As per request the Xado treatment for engines has been tested throughout the 2008 operating year. Testing began the 27th of February and ended, in regards to this report, December 29th. The unit’s selected for this trial were a 2-cycle Stihl Chainsaw, Model MS200T, and a 1996 model John Deere Model 925 front deck mower with a three cylinder Yanmar fuel-injected diesel engine.
The Stihl chainsaw was an older unit with high hours and moderate compression (apx. 62lbs). After running one tank of Xado –treated fuel through the saw under normal use by the City Forestry crew the compression had increased to 75 lbs.
The front-deck mower had 1852 hours at the start of the test and its year-end conclusion was 1912 hrs., a difference of only 60 hours (we had hoped this unit would have been used on a more regular basis in order to get the 200 hour’s we intend to reach in order to conclude this test). Due to the amount of time needed to conclude the desired operating hours, and in order to reach a timelier conclusion, we have elected to make some preliminary observations.
Prior to the beginning of our test the diesel engine was inspected and we found the idle rpm to be 1300. Dry cylinder compression was as follows: cylinder # 1- 340lbs, cylinder # 2 – 275 lbs, and cylinder # 3 – 310lbs. As the Xado treatment is a three-step process the next readings were taken after two tubes of product were installed. Following the application of the first tube the engine was operated for two hours in a no-load condition, then the second tube was installed and the engine was operated for two more hours in the same method as describes above.
Results of the second test were as follows: idle rpm was 1800, compression in cylinder #1- 340 lbs, cylinder #2- 305 lbs and, cylinder # 3- 325 lbs. After the second test this unit was returned to its crew and returned to work until after the end of its active season when it came back into the shop for winter service.
The testing results recorded at the end of the season are as follows: idle – 2000 rpm, compression in cylinder # 1 - 380 lbs, cylinder # 2 - 318 lbs and, cylinder # 3 - 362 lbs. This represents an increase of 700 rpm at idle and an average of 45 lbs per cylinder gained in the 60 hours the test has run. Specific gains in cylinder compression were as follows…cylinder # 1 – 40 lbs, cylinder # 2 – 43 lbs, and cylinder # 3 - 52 lbs. Our intention, unless otherwise directed, is that the final inspection will still occur at 200 hours from the initial application with those results being forwarded to your office at that time.
While it has been shown in testing this product that compression rises and internal friction declines causing an increase in idle rpm, I believe the benefit offered in an earlier application would be the additional longevity, guaranteed by the manufacturer of Xado, in units currently in operation. Further testing in the automotive/pick-up/heavy truck field could give more accurate information in regards to an increase in longevity and fuel mileage, and decrease in oil consumption and emissions.
