Devices for reduced fuel consumption in Class 8 trucks

The purpose of getting better fuel economy for the majority of owners is to save money. And when you run out of propane 1000 miles from home, how many truck stops carry propane? Yeah, a few here and there.

 

YOU. The right foot.

One eggshell under right foot.

Add power as needed. Never crush eggshell.

That is my choice of fuel reducing device he he he.

 

There is some company - Perkins equipment Co. in Sommerville Ky, they do custom cam timing, called indexing. Mechanically advance the cam with half to 1 tooth from the bull gear and then use a different settings for injectors and valves.The maximum torque of the engine moves to lower rpm. Then you don't need to rev the engine to 1500 to shift, you go to 1200 and shift. This is going to give you good economy. I have heard some stories for permanent 9 MPG for 14L ser 60 Detroits.
