Application: As an additive package to motor oil and fuel in 1,800 Horse Power diesel engine driving 1000 KVA CUMMINS electrical generator: anti-wear protection and reduction in fuel and oil consumption during normal operation.

This 1000 KVA Cummins Generator driven by 1,800 horse power engine was in service for more than 30,000 hours. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, oil and oil-filters had to be replaced every 250 hours. We started using MSP after the generator was in service for about 5,000 hours. Within very short time of using MSP MTC and Fuel Conditioner, we experienced an average of 10% reduction in fuel consumption. Based on used oil analysis (see tables in the following pages) we decided to extend the oil change intervals to every 1,000 hours and then to every 1,500 hours. Typically, this type of engine is overhauled after 17,000 hours in operation.

In this specific case the engine was taken apart after 30,000 hours not because it had to be overhauled but because of penetration of water into its oil system. In spite of the water, there was no indication whatsoever that the engine was deteriorating in performance. Nevertheless, after 100 hours in operation with water presence in the oil system, the general manager of the quarry decided to take the engine apart. “I have seen too many times what presence of water in the oil system can do to an engine, I don’t want to stretch my luck” was his answer when MSP distributor told him not to worry. The general manager of the quarry was very impressed when he was told by the head mechanic in the repair shop that the engine parts looked like new and that he thought that there must had been a mistake in the paperwork, because the condition of the engine parts didn’t have any indication whatsoever that the engine was in operation for 30,000 hours or water penetrated the oil system. The Quarry manager was so impressed by the findings that he decided to invite the local distributor and the US manufacturer to produce a video-tape of the engine parts to use as a reference with his high recommendation for MSP products. The engine was put together without replacing or machining any parts. According to our most conservative estimate, over 30,000 hours that the generator was in operation, the user saved at least $150,000 on repairs, fuel and oil consumption. And spent only $7,690 on MSP products, a return of approximately $20 on each dollar invested in MSP.

The following pictures demonstrate the outstanding performance of MSP products.

All the liners were micro-measured. There was no wear whatsoever, all the dimensions were within the manufacture’s specs of a new engine.		In all the liners you could see distinct traces of the cross-honing pattern of the original bore (pink arrow), and the liner surfaces looked “polished” like and shiny.

Application: MSP as As an additive package to motor oil and fuel in 1,800 Horse Power diesel engine.

All the pistons had piston-skirts and piston-rings totally clean of any build-up. The rings looked like new and didn’t have any wear whatsoever (very unusual phenomenon, taking into consideration that the engine was in service for 30,000 hours and had water in its oil system for more than 100 hours.
After 30,000 hours in operation and 100 hours in the presence of water, all the connecting-rod bearings didn’t have any traces of wear, maintained their full thickness and their coating. Looked like new.

After 30,000 hours in operation and 100 hours in the presence of water, all the piston pins didn’t have any traces of wear, looked shiny like new.		Usually, after 17,000 hours in operation there are extensive clearances between the piston pin and piston-pin bearing. In this case there were no clearances at all in spite of the fact that the engine was in service for 30,000 hours and had water in its oil system for 100 hours while in operation.
All the pistons had piston-skirts and piston-rings totally clean of any build-up. The rings looked like new and didn’t have any wear whatsoever (very unusual phenomenon, taking into consideration that the engine was in service for 30,000 hours and had water in its oil system for more than 100 hours.
Crankshaft Main Bearings looked like new, there were no traces of wear. They maintained their full thickness and their original coating. Usually after 17,000 hours they are chewed up. In this engine we used MSP, there was no wear at all after 30,000 hours in operation, and 100 hours of operation in the presence of water in the oil system.

At the same time when we were shooting the video of our customer’s engine (that used MSP) the repair shop had another similar engine that was in operation for 16,000 hours (that didn’t use MSP)and broke down because of penetration of water into its oil system. The bottom pictures show the irreversible damage done to its piston-rod bearings (bottom-left) and its liners (bottom right) as a result of penetration of water into its oil system. Our customer’s engine with MSP, was in operation 30,000 hours, and also was taken apart because of penetration of water into its oil system, didn’t break down, and there was no damage whatsoever to its parts (top pictures). Also there were no traces of wear on all the engine parts in spite of the fact that the engine was in operation for more than 30,000 hours.

Application: As an additive to motor oil in diesel engine in 800 KVA CUMMINS electrical generator: anti-wear protection during regular operation.

User: Quarry: Asphalt production facility (overseas).

(Letter written by the General Manager of the asphalt production facility)

"Here is one example of "used oil analysis" test results from "Institute of Failure Analysis" based on which we decided to use MSP MTC in our diesel generators and extend their oil change intervals.

2. Motor oil used in the generator was 15W-40 with 10% MSP MTC.

3. Spectrometric analysis of concentration of wear-metals and physical characteristics of the used oil have been tested with the following results:

Conclusions:
1. No wear was detected within the period between the first test and the second test (1,250 hours).

2. The characteristics of the oil changed very little within the period between the first test and the second test (1250 hours).

We have consistently received similar results on all the generators and decided to extend the oil change intervals 4 times (instead of every 250 hours to every 1,000, although the test results indicated that we could extend them to every 1,750 hours)."

(Note from the manufacturer: At the end of 1998 a diesel engine in which MSP MTC had been used for almost 3 years, was taken apart. No traces of wear were found and the engine parts looked completely clean and almost new).

Application: As an additive to motor oil in diesel engine in 800 KVA (continued from the last page)

The following pictures are of engine parts of the above referenced generator when it was taken apart after 17,500 hours of operation (which is equivalent to 1 million km) with oil changes every 1,000 hours (versus every 250 hours without MSP).

Piston-rod-bearing housing (red arrow) totally clean of any deposit build-up. The bearing itself is clean of any scoring or scuffing, Has its original thickness (red arrow) and its surface looks highly polished (blue arrow). Cylinder sleeve, totally clean with no deposit build-ups. In most of the sleeves there were traces of cross-honing of the original bore, meaning almost no wear took place. The sleeve walls were highly polished. The piston-skirt (yellow arrow) and piston-rings (green arrow) are totally clean of any deposit build-ups, and the piston-ring-blades (green arrows) are highly polished (virtually no signs of wear). The build-up you see on the piston top (red arrow), which is due to deposits from burnt fuel in combustion chamber, could be eliminated by using MSP fuel conditioner. The oil baths (yellow arrow), valve springs (red arrow), valve stems (green arrow) and the block surface are totally clean of any deposit build-up.
