Company BackgroundCompany Background
Firepower is a group of companies that own the intellectual property to and manufacture a range of hydrocarbon based fuel conditioners and equipment that:
•Enhance engine or boiler performance for petrol, diesel and heavy Enhance engine or boiler performance for petrol, diesel and heavy fuel oil usersfuel oil users
•Significantly reduce harmful emissionsSignificantly reduce harmful emissions
•Reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment lifeReduce maintenance costs and increase equipment life
All Firepower products are manufactured to ISO9001 standards and have been comprehensively tested by leading independent testing institutes and major companies.
““To save money for our customers whilst To save money for our customers whilst significantly reducing harmful emissions by significantly reducing harmful emissions by providing technology that makes fuel burn providing technology that makes fuel burn

The Problems With Burning FuelThe Problems With Burning Fuel
The common problems associated with burning fuels may be summarised as follows:
• Incomplete CombustionIncomplete Combustion• Contamination & Deposit FormationContamination & Deposit Formation• Acid Formation and CorrosionAcid Formation and Corrosion• Water Contamination and Bacterial Water Contamination and Bacterial
GrowthGrowth
Fuel produced by the major oil companies has failed to keep pace with the requirements of modern engines, or the expectations of society in relation to emissions. Despite the technology being available, economic and other pressures prevent the major oil companies from applying it to the fuels they produce. Oil companies will continue to produce fuel to the minimum specification required by the relevant authorities.
Leading engine manufacturer CaterpillarCaterpillar says that 90% of engine wear is caused by acid action, not friction. For every 16,000 kilometers of usage, engine performance is reduced by 1%.
This is supported by data from the USA Road Transport Authority which confirms that 70% of engine performance problems can be attributed to the fuel system and 30% to the oil system.

What is it?What is it?
The Fuel System Purge Machine is designed specifically to remove harmful deposits from an engine’s fuel delivery system.
By applying our unique purge fluid whilst an engine is running, we are able to dissolve harmful contaminants and deposits from the vehicle’s fuel system, including the throttle body, fuel rail, injectors, valves and pistons, and carburetors.

How Engine Oil is How Engine Oil is
AffectedAffected Research shows that approximately 10% of oil remains in the engine after the oil is drained. This oil includes wear metals, silica, soot, acids of combustion and water.
These contaminants reduce the effectiveness of the lubrication system leading to increased wear, reduced engine life, reduced engine performance and increased service costs.
In extreme cases, engine damage can occur.

Oil System Oil System DialysisDialysis
How does it work ?How does it work ?
The Oil System Dialysis cleans all parts of the engine that are lubricated with oil, including the sump, bearings and hydraulic lifters.
The machine controls the flow of a specially formulated oil, made by Shell, through the engine whilst the engine is running. This oil contains agents to clean out contaminants from the engine.
This oil is then continuously passed through our unique 3 stage filtration process, removing all traces of these contaminants down to 5 microns in size, which is smaller than the diameter of a human hair !
When this process is complete, the engine is restored to a “like new” condition, with the contaminants filtered and removed.

An Oil System Dialysis will :
• Improve performance
• Improve fuel economy
• Allow smoother running
• Remove wear metal
• Prolong the life of your engine
• Reduce exhaust emissions
• Save maintenance costs

Professor Gennadiy B RozenblitDoctor of Technical Sciences and MechanicsUkraine: - Professor Rozenblit conducted an extensive test of the Firepower product over a extended trial periodSummary of results: Fuel savings 9% Injector life increased 13 times Emissions reduced 30 – 50% Reduced maintenance on Valves, Exhaust manifolds and piston rings
Automobile Association of SingaporeAutomobile Association of Singapore Mr Gerrard Ee (President) Quote: “Because the results of the test points at the potential for reducing the emission of carbon poisonous gases and this is something all Singaporeans should be interested to look at. Speaking for the Association’s point of view, if enough people use the product, hopefully we can get a clean environment”

Dr Roy DouglasQuote: “With my background in the automotive industry, I’ve come across many products that have claimed great things and have never done it and therefore I thought this might just be another one, but there is definitely a real and measurable effect.”

Product SafetyProduct Safety
Firepower products have been safely used for many years. The products do not contain any harsh chemicals that can damage an engine or expensive piece of equipment. The base materials for our fuel conditioning products are hydrocarbons which are fully compatible with the fuel, and full training is provided to ensure the correct application of the products in the field.
Firepower carries a AUD$20 million insurance policy in the unlikely event that any damage is caused to equipment by the use of Firepower products. To date, we have not had a claim.
