EcoTaz Test by Dice

Before I installed the unit I read a lot tests. Some was companies doing a larger scale of what drivers have done here.

But the controlled tests I had a hard time understanding.

So I had the person that knows more about diesel engines than any other person I know and works for CAT, look at this. He said it is along the lines of what CAT has been working on for big engines.

He explained it in simple terms (even felt that some of the testers didn't understand what it did, LOL). Said the theory worked but if they could do it was the question.

 

Care to share how he said it works, there Bill?

 

Rand McNally GPS, the one that keeps up with fuel tax,should give you almost pinpoint precision on mileage.

 

Two trips, one with, one without, both at 60-62 mph.

Return trip on second the with was faster. And I ran faster WITH the Eco on the return. And comparison was only using my trip down with and without. Because I ran faster than normal I did not use my without return numbers as a comparison. Remove one line and it changes what I was saying. But you knew that. Didn't you?

I would say you misunderstood what I had posted but you dropped the part about why running faster and when.

 

I can't help but wonder, if I installed a new part on my truck expecting that part to gain me fuel mileage, would I then alter my driving habits enough to see at least a .5 mpg gain?

I think it's possible that is where some of the gains come from with this ecotaz product.

 

Based on some of your other post you will likely be able to fill-in what I missed. But a lot of what you said in a earlier post was what he said.

But the key around ECO and what CAT has been trying to do is that you lose energy in combustion because of WHEN it combusts (sp?). You want all the fuel to burn at the beginning of the down stroke. But because of many factors that is not happening - getting better - but not happening. One of the factors is what he says the ECO is claiming to do.

He told me that how quickly the fuel ignites is related to how fine a mist injectors create (remember, he was dumb-ing this down for me so don't bash me for not understanding all this). The finer the mist the quicker the burn.

What he felt from what he read is that ECO is claiming to help the injectors create a better mist. And that he felt that this was not science fiction because it was what CAT has been trying to do.

He talked a lot about types of injector, reliability, fuel pressure, etc but I was not following.

When I called him after installing and asked about the power increase I was feeling he said that would also be a by product of if this worked.

Sure I messed that all up but that was how I remember it.
