Heavy Duty Diesel Engines

Engine: 7.3liter Mercruiser 270 HP rated

Lab: Marine Corporation of America Franklin Indiana

	Test Results
	HP	Firing Pressure (psi)	Exhaust Temp (F)
Baseline	266 @3400	1711	1156
With FFC	268 @3400	1740	1151

Fuel Consumption declined from 19.1 gal / hour to 17.4 gal / hour post Fitch installation

Summary: The engine picked up 2 HP, increased fuel efficiency by 1.7 gallons per hour. Exhaust temperature was 5 degrees cooler. Firing Pressure rose 29 PSI. Firing pressures are a result of fuel and air mixtures and the percentages of the fuel burnt. The more complete the burn in the combustion chamber, the higher the firing pressures will be. Results of this test indicate fuel economy increased 10% without any loss of power.
