Open Crankcase Problem

While open blow-by tube crankcase ventilation systems were the previous industry standard, today’s newer engines are required to have a controlled crankcase ventilation process. As technology and our information concerning open blow-by systems have evolved, we now know that open blow-by venting of the crankcase is inefficient as it robs companies of expensive fuel, results in unnecessary pollution of our environment, and causes the life of engines to be shortened.

During engine operation, as the unburned and partially burned fuel blows past the piston rings and into the crankcase, the venting of the open blow-by tube emits the unburned fuel, oil, and soot into the environment. Recent laboratory testing shows that as much as 50% of the blow-by vapor could be attributed to combustion PM escaping past the cylinder rings and into the crankcase. Open blow-by tubes result in reduced fuel efficiency, dirty undercarriages, unhealthy interior vehicle environments, and un-necessary environmental contamination! Additionally, when the engine is shut down, exterior contaminates enter the engine, which causes a build up of acids in the crankcase and shortens engine life.

The Solution

Controlling the crankcase venting of pre 2006 diesel engines by retrofitting the engines with crankcase control equipment has become an acceptable practice that is providing a tremendous benefit. There are several systems offered by OEMs and manufactures that do a good job filtering the crankcase vapors… however, The Fuel and Air Saver™ is the only crankcase ventilation system that has been proven through SAE fuel economy testing to significantly increase fuel economy while reducing the crankcase emissions.

This revolutionary system installs between the open venting crankcase tube and the intake to the combustion chamber. As the crankcase gases enter the Fuel and Air Saver™, the patented separation process, which incorporates nine laws of physics, separates the harmful and non-combustible vapors such as contaminated oil, water, and soot from the unburned fuel vapors.

The oil, water, and soot vapors condense into a liquid and settle to the bottom of the container where they remain… resulting in only the lighter unburned and partially burned fuel vapor being routed into the intake of the combustion chamber to be burned and provide increased fuel efficiency. The liquid that settles in the container is disposed of with the crankcase oil during routine oil changes, rather than being returned to the crankcase and creating engine harming soot loading.

The Benefits

Independent SAE laboratory testing has validated that the Fuel and Air Saver™ will provide a 4% miles per gallon increase in fuel economy in class 8 diesel trucks, which for most carriers results in savings of thousands of dollars per tractor each year.

In addition to significantly increasing fuel economy and decreasing operating costs by using fuel that would normally be literally thrown away, the installation of the Fuel and Air Saver™ produces numerous additional benefits such as reduced emissions into our environment, a cleaner crankcase, and cleaner more effective engine oil which results in extended oil changes and extended engine longevity.

As the one time investment in a Fuel and Air Saver™ is only a fraction of the savings it will produce in just one year, our fuel saving system can be one of the best investments your company can make as it can be recouped in just several months and thereafter provide a tremendous exponential return on investment for years.
