Fuelon

Fuelon International offers

Fuelon, which converts fuel into a superior grade, according to the company. This chemical effect shortens the molecular hydrocar- bon chains of fuel into smaller uni- form sizes and then coats them with a heat-seeking formulation that, ac- cording to Fuelon, dramatically im- proves combustion. Fuelon says this improved combustion results in an approximate increase in tem- perature of 15 percent. The in- creased temperature will allow us- ers to achieve desired steam pro- duction with considerably less fuel.

Pre-Luber

The Pre-Luber, a patented exter- nal accessory pump, reportedly elimi- nates dry engine starts and the ac- companying wear, to prolong engine life and enhance performance. Sales

Professionals, Inc. is the exclusive agent for the Pre-Luber marine and automotive product lines. The Pre-

Luber product automatically pre- lubricates before engine startup.

This reduces engine bearing wear by as much as 53 percent, while also reducing wear of the critical engine parts. According to Sales Profes- sionals, the Pre-Luber can more than double the life of an engine. These results were determined by R.C.

Engineering, an independent test- ing firm, in an evaluation of wear differential between engines equipped with the Pre-Luber and those with standard oiling systems.
