TestimonialsTESTIMONIALS and CASE Histories ..This section contains some of the testimonials and case histories on the use of NEPTUNE Products .. and will be added to periodically.DeSLUDGE flushing oil concentrate (FOC) testimonials .. FTC catalytic engine decarboniser testimonials ..SupaSLIP anti-friction, anti-wear oil additive testimonials .. DeSLUDGE FOC testimonials from CEM Australia ..For the benefits of DeSLUDGE, please click here ..Datsun SD25 Diesel .. For 4 years, Allan Dickson had been unable to solve an overheating problem. Despite flushing the cooling system and fitting a larger radiator, it would always boil up the Toowoomba Range. After using FOC, it gets up the range at 70 kph (instead of 40-50 kph) without overheating. Editors note .. One of the functions of oil is to cool and if flow is restricted, overheating results. ________________________________________ Holden VK Commodore .. Ray Borg writes .. "Best engine flush in the world!" The first bottle worked wonders on the sludged up old VK Commodore, which had lost all oil pressure. It removed 6 litres of sludge. Everyone's car I've used it on calls it "the magic potion". Now the word is spreading, so could you please send me two more bottles? I can't thank you and C.E.M. enough for your assistance and valued advice. The product is 100% true to its name! ________________________________________ Kenworth/Detroit Diesel Series 60 (475HP).. Like many modern truck diesels, these are prone to sludging up badly. FOC was run in the oil for 40 minutes before draining. From that point, the power and economy improvement was most noticeable. Fitted with oil centrifuges, about 1 cm depth of dirt would be collected at each service period. However, after the flush, there was no centrifuge dirt at all, indicating less contaminant blowby. ________________________________________ Mazda T4100 .. Best Practice Constructions run two of them. After flushing the engines with FOC, the mechanic was amazed at the amount of rubbish that came out .. and even more amazed at the change in performance. "We're getting a lot of positive feedback from our crews, and so far it's been a cost effective solution." ________________________________________ Nissan Navara .. This diesel was so gutless, it would be down to 2nd gear on the range, with a cloud of smoke behind it .. and it wouldn't hold 5th gear on the flat. After using FOC and Cleanpower*, it gets up the range in 4th gear (no smoke) and accelerates in 5th gear on the flat. Les says, "I was close to putting a match to it, but now it really is such a pleasant thing to drive again!" * Editors note .. FTC is a suitable alternative in NZ ________________________________________ Nissan GU Turbo Patrol .. Paul Mitchell writes .. "Just thought I would drop you an email. I bought your FOC in September. I have a Nissan GU Turbo diesel Patrol which has travelled 228000 klm. It has had regular oil changes every 5000 klm. Yet the oil was always thick and 'goey', even after an oil change. I have now used your product twice, the first time the oil was a little cleaner and not as thick. I did another oil change after about 2000klm. This has really cleaned out the dirty oil. It is now so clean I cannot even see it on the dip stick. Well done on a product that really works. I am sure my turbo is really appreciating the new clean oil." ________________________________________ Nissan Patrol 4.2 Turbo Diesel .. At 190,000km, it had a rear main oil seal leak and heavily sooted oil when changed. After flushing with FOC the oil leak stopped. (The problem was sump pressure from fouled piston rings.) "I now flush every second oil change and use Cleanpower* every tankful. As a mechanic, I was sceptical, but am amazed at the results and now a totally dedicated user." * Editors note .. FTC is a suitable alternative in NZ ________________________________________ Toyota Landcruiser .. Landcruiser 1994 Troopy diesel. "After using FOC and Cleanpower* fuel treatment, the Troopy pulls an extra 200-300RPMs on my test hill" says Rob Leighton. * Editors note ..

Bertram 28ft Sportsfisher with twin BMW turbo diesels. "Each time I started the engines, the marina would be absolutely engulfed by smoke for 5-10 minutes, before it would settle down. The port engine was always difficult to start. On the purchase survey, I was advised that it might need a rebuild...at only 1500hrs!" "After one day on FTC Decarbonizer, the engines started straight away with hardly any smoke at all. I couldn't believe the improvement. I must admit, I was sceptical at first, but now I'll be recommending it to everybody." ________________________________________ Caterpillar Main Engines (cargo ship). At 19,000 hrs, the owners wished to postpone rebuilding the engines by 3 months. FTC Decarbonizer was supplied (along with our Flushing Oil Concentrate and AW10 Antiwear) to decarbonize and destress the engines. From that point until a total of 25,000 hrs, the engines performed much better, with less oil consumption, less smoke and smoother running. They were only then changed out at the insurer's request. ________________________________________ Caterpillar D10 dozer was left idling for 3 days after the operator became sick. This would be almost guaranteed to glaze up any engine, however this mining fleet was using the FTC Decarbonizer, and there were no adverse effects at all! ________________________________________ Caterpillar D348 Powered Mining Fleet. This fleet of coal haulers would drop exhaust valves at intervals of 3000 to 4000 hours, causing extensive damage, and considerable downtime costs. The cause was excessive carbon fouling on the valve stems and head, which caused fatigue as it rubbed in the guides, and then failure. FTC Decarbonizer was introduced to eliminate all hard carbon build up from combustion and exhaust spaces, and the problem then ceased. ________________________________________ Detroit 6V92 Diesel. A Rigid Tip Truck with 6V92 Detroit Diesel. (K. Wright NSW). The truck does all on site work and had coked up badly from it. As a result, fuel consumption was down to 1.69km/L. Power and economy was restored over the next 3 tanks of treated fuel...1.96km/L, then 2.12km/L and then 2.45km/L. Other trucks on site used to pass me, but now I leave them for dead! ________________________________________ Detroit 8V53 Diesels. The owner of a 53ft boat was faced with a $40,000 cost to rebuild his twin 8V53 Detroit Diesels. At only 5000hrs, they smoked so badly, you could not see behind the boat. After using FTC Decarbonizer, the massive amounts of blue smoke had disappeared! The engine idles much better with noticeably more power. They'd gained 200 RPM at full throttle. An investment of only $190 for a saving of $40,000...without even touching a spanner! ________________________________________ Detroit 8V71. Site tipper work. Excessive idling and cool operating temperature caused power loss and blowby. FTC Decarbonizer made a marked difference to increase power and fuel economy. It also stopped the blowby. (George, Bay City Earthworks) ________________________________________ Detroit 8V71. A truck with 8V71 Detroit 2 stroke diesel. (D. Riseley VIC). The engine was so carboned up, that I could see sparks being thrown out of the exhaust at night. It couldn't pull full revs. After a few tanks with FTC Decarbonizer, it really cleaned up, the sparks stopped and I had full rev power again. ________________________________________ Dronin diesel (boat). An old engine. The injectors were removed, tested OK, but had massive carbon deposits. FTC was used, and the injectors removed after 20hrs on FTC. They were totally carbon free. ________________________________________ Mack 454 Truck and Trailer doing local tipper work. Owner reports engine runs better and sounds crisper. Fuel consumption improved from 1.7km/L to 1.9km/L (11.7%). Also reports better economy in 5L Commodore V8. ________________________________________ Mitsubishi FP418 Removal Truck. (AAA Interstate Removals). We first purchased FTC Decarbonizer after suffering suspected glazing, due to light freight and southern artic conditions. The engine had been fully rebuilt, but was down on power and billowed white smoke. Within six hours of using FTC, there was no white smoke and power improved . On top of that, we are saving $1000 on diesel per 5L of FTC Decarbonizer. ________________________________________ Prekins 6.354 International Truck, 6.354 Perkins. A concrete pumping truck, it worked short runs only. It was hard to start, and suffered white smoke cold & power loss. After 1 day on FTC, it starts well and cleanly with much better power. ________________________________________ Rio Tinto. One Rio Tinto owned coal mine using FTC Decarbonizer shifted 12.8% more material, yet increased its fuel usage by only 3.4%...a fuel saving of about 9%! SupaSLIP reports from CEM Australia ..(SupaSLIP is sold as AW10 in Australia)For Technical Test results on SupaSLIP, please click here .. Freightliner FLC112. (Riseley’s Bulk Haulage). Powered by Series 60 Detroit with 18 speed Roadranger and Eaton diffs. Use of AW10 resulted in smoother gear shifts esp when cold. No click on fast changes. A slight engine rattle has also disappeared. Temperature reductions going up the Toowoomba range were 25F for the gearbox, 15F front diff and 20F rear diff!! Owner Phil Riseley was so impressed, he had to ring us at the top of the range! Pajero 2004 NP 3.2 DiD Auto. G`day Brid. Whilst towing my 1500kg caravan I noticed that under load the transmission tunnel was becoming extremely hot. At 45,000km, I added a dose of AW10 at the rate of 1% to the auto transmission. Problem solved. I have now been using AW10 in my auto transmission for 45000km with no problems whatsoever. No more excessive heat and changes appear to be smoother. It had all it`s oils and fluids changed again at the 90,000 km service, and AW10 was again added to the AUTO TRANSMISSION. AW10 has been used in the diffs,transfer case, engine and power steering since new. Cheers, John Tasker. Caterpillar .. Caterpillar Grader was running low oil pressure in the transmission. AW10 restored full oil pressure, by providing a massive boost to the oil's load carrying ability. This reduced the frictional heat generated, so the oil didn't thin out as much. Normal oil pressure was restored and wear rates reduced.
Roadranger gearbox ..
Roadranger Gearbox .. Volvo truck .. Peter Flay. Volvo Truck. AW10 made the engine quieter and more powerful. According to Peter, "It seemed like there was no noise, just raw power!"
