Five Hundred And Forty-Four School Districts Lower Diesel Emissions And Are Recognized With Hydrotex Environmental Partnership Awards

Market Wire, 20050229

"Five hundred forty-four school districts representing thirty-six states are employing Hydrotex (www.hydrotexlube.com) Fuel Improvers," announced John Beasley, Hydrotex President and CEO. "These school districts were recognized for their Ecological Stewardship and given a Hydrotex Environmental Partnership Award. For all of our customers who share our commitment to business methods and product technologies that reduce emissions and toxic waste and conserve valuable natural resources an Environmental Partnership Award is framed and presented," added Dwight Gleaves, Vice President Pupil Transportation for Hydrotex. "As Your Lubrication Solution Partner(TM), we take our ecological stewardship very seriously when we work with schools to solve lubrication problems," Gleaves added.

"In recognition of our efforts and commitment to the environment, Hydrotex awarded the Atlanta School District with the Environmental Partnership Award," proclaimed David Lewis, Shop Maintenance Supervisor. "Hydrotex demonstrated to us with emission testing that their diesel fuel improver, Power Kleen(TM), really does lower the emissions output of our buses," "In a short two-week test of Power Kleen, we saw a significant drop in the NOx output levels of more than 19% and the bus drivers were amazed in the increased power," added Atlanta ISD's Director of Transportation, Harold Walker. The Hydrotex Fuel Improver line includes Fuel Improvers that reduce harmful exhaust emissions and improve fuel economy.

"Our customers have used Hydrotex fuel improvers for over 50 years. Increasing your fuel economy and reducing the number of filters required. Fuel pump maintenance and repairs drop to virtually zero," stated John Cummins, Hydrotex Vice President Product Technology. "We have several buses with over 300,000 miles that have not required any maintenance or repairs to their original fuel pumps. Our partners in the DFW Metroplex have reported smoother, quieter running buses."

"Schools and communities throughout the country have become more aware and more focused on their fuel in the past 18 months," explained John Cummins. "The quality of gasoline and diesel continues to decline as today's refineries use thermal-cracking, catalytic-cracking, hydro-cracking, reformatting, desulfuration and oxygenation processes to squeeze the last drop of fuel from each barrel of crude. Fuel customers experience the decline in fuel quality with dirty injectors, clogged filters, smoky exhausts and higher repair and maintenance expenses. Using fuel improvers today is a proven method to get 'your money's worth' and increase the performance and fuel economy of bus fleets," Cummins added.

"Our School Partners today throughout the United States have recognized the value of Fuel Improvers. I believe that our partners have a lot of local pressure to conserve fuel costs and stay under budget. The beauty of our products is that our Fuel Improvers will save you money in fuel costs, reduce repair and maintenance expense and earn you the recognition of being an Environmental Partner in your communities," Gleaves proudly announced.
