Before installing Algae-X, I could barely run the boat for 10 hours, without clogging my fuel filters.

47" Bayliner - Jim Shearer
Since Algae-x, on my first fill up I burned 15 gal/hr and the second fill up was 14.4 gal/hr. My old numbers being about 18-20 gal/hr. That is a 16.7% and 20% increase in fuel efficiency respectively.

Alaska Inter-Island Ferry
Installation was made in June of '04 and performance was monitored for a six month period. The M/V POW has shown a fuel savings of 5500 gal. or 2.5% in this period of monitoring. I estimate the units paid for themselves in 21 days. As well as primary fuel oil filters are cleaner and we have extended our intervals to almost double.

Since installing Algae-X, we have not seen evidence of fuel contamination, and have realized cost savings by eliminating the use of biocides and lower Racor Filter usage.

Bertram 31 - Vic Roy - Baton Rouge, LA
Normally I would get an inch of crud out of each filter after about 50 hours, but after installing Algae-x, NOTHING. I could never get 100 hours out of a 30 micron Racor 500 cartridge before, and now I'm up to 150 and counting. Plus, the smoke is greatly reduced, the exhaust smells cleaner, and - here's the best of all - fuel economy is up over 10%.

Blessey Marine
We got some AFC 705 from Reliable Industries (a local Algae-X Dealer) and had them meet the boat at one of the locks on the ICC. To make a long story short, the AFC took care of the problem. The last time I checked with the boat it had over 200 hours without a filter change and was still going. That was months ago and I have not had any more complaints from the Captain.

Calvin F. Kendig Jr
Well the Algae-X system has been installed just about a month now and the difference is astounding! The first thing I noticed immediately was a major reduction in transom soot, (at least 75%). In fact on short sunset trips I find no soot what so ever.
... My fuel consumption has dropped almost 8% which is amazing since this is a relatively new engine.

Crusader Boats - Andy Grant, President - Miami, FL
We were called upon to fix a fuel problem on a 6-year-old boat, and we found that one engine and an Algae-X unit installed in the fuel line. The other engine was the one having the fuel problems and did not have an Algae-X, so we installed a unit. This solved the filtration problem for our customer. We now install Algae-X on all the new boats we build.

David C. Devall
Here are some pictures of the m/v David c. Devall.
We installed some new algae x 500 on the main engines. This is the boat that went down earlier this year in the Houston ship channel. We totally re-furbished the boat from top to bottom. This boat had Volvo engines 4 years ago. We were going and replacing the nozzles every 2 months. We installed the algae x boxes and that solved that problem. We now have Cummins main engines at 600 hp each. After placing the algae-x boxes on most all our fleet, we solved all our fuel problems. (Its bad when you have a boat in the middle of know where and it goes down due to fuel contaminated). After we started installing the algae-x boxes, that problem has gone away.
Thanks, Mike Devall

Deep Sea Trolling Adventures
Before installing Algae-x, my boat would not come up on plane and I was laying a horrible cloud of thick, smelly, black smoke. I have now had the unit in service for about a month, and it seems the boat runs better each time I take it out. My fuel economy has improved, the smoke problem has all but disappeared, the engines are quieter and smoother, and my top speed has increased over 20% to over 40 mph.

Prior to installing Algae-X, I was changing my filters every 35 to 50 hours, my fuel restriction gauge would reach 7" of vacuum and my filters would get black as charcoal. After installing Algae-X, my filters get between 125 and 150 hours, my fuel restriction has not reached above 5" of vacuum and my filters after 150 hours are reddish brown.

Conclusion: The Algae-X product does what Algae-X International says it can do, and then some. The fuel efficiencies and filter savings realized by these Cutters are impressive and significantly reduce operating costs. I could confidently say the Algae-X product is a NECESSARY component of any diesel, or lighter distillate fuel system.

Hartley S. "Skip" Newman
The fuel tank was growing "black Jell-O" and clogging the Racor fuel filters. The engine would then give me grief until I changed out the filters and three months later it would do it all over again. Always seemed to happen when the weather conditions were the worst and the boat was pitching and rolling and the fuel was sloshing around the tank. I installed an Algae-X fuel polishing system on the boat and put the Algae-x fuel catalyst in the tank and never had a fuel related problem again.

John Samford 52' Trawler
This boat holds 3,356 gallons of diesel fuel. When we are traveling, it burns about four gallons per hour. Fuel can be dirty when purchased or, over time, it can get water in it from condensation or begin to grow algae in the tanks. With this enormous capacity and low fuel consumption, there can be times when fuel sits in the tanks for months or even years.

Subsequent to Algae-X units, filter change intervals have increased from 100 to 750 hours. Combined with the AFC-705 catalyst, we have noted a reduction of smoke of approx. 80%, and a fuel consumption reduction of 20%. There are also no signs of carbon deposits on injectors or turbos . . . before Algae-x, these components required service every 4-6 months . . . the increase in filter life and fuel economy alone is saving us over $50,000 per year !!

First I want to tell you that the fuel management system really does work as you said it would.

Dear Sir: In this day and age when it is all too easy to be critical of products and services if they do not live up to our increasingly high expectations, I would like to take a few minutes to express my complete satisfaction with your little engineering marvel the ALGAE X. I had it installed on my previous two sailboats, crossed the Atlantic twice and never had a moments trouble in either boat with fuel related problems. Therefore it should come as no surprise for you to learn that one of the first pieces of equipment I ordered for my newly commissioned Passport Vista 515 was the ALGAE X and I am looking forward to many years trouble free cruising with our tiny new crew member on board.
Thank you, Sincerely,

Sunsail Charters
Rarely do you meet anyone who owns 1000 yachts and sailboats. When they speak, we listen! Earlier this year the largest charter company in the world made Algae-X Fuel Conditioners and AFC-705 Fuel Catalyst standard equipment on all new vessels. How many is that? Approximately 250 new yachts a year! Staggering figures for most companies, but not for Sunsail Charter whom already owns over 1000 yachts and sailboats, it's small change.

Had been changing fuel filters at 50-100 hours before installing Algae-X.

Now filters are changed at normal intervals and transoms no longer turn black due to exhaust gasses.

In may 2004, management of the Vehicle Maintenance Department of the City of Utrecht's Public Transportation Corporation were very enthusiastically presented with an opportunity to save fuel, reduce emissions and extend periodic filter change intervals. In summary a proposal that would be beneficial for our bottom line (fuel savings), the environment (particulate and gaseous emissions) and filter maintenance intervals. We would realize all of this by simply installing a technical "aid", called an Algae-X 500, in the fuel line of our company buses.

I just thought I would give you an update on the Algae-x magnetic fuel conditioner. I currently have 201000.00 plus miles on my 2000 model F-350 Ford. At 202000 I will have 150000.00 miles on the same fuel filter. I have had no problems. I did buy a filter about 3 months ago but it is still rolling around under the seat. I average 18.5 MPG on the road, driving 65 mph. that is not bad for an F-350 Crew Cab 4x4. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will let you know when I decide to change out the fuel filter.

... the MTC 3000 performed flawlessly and proved itself well-designed for a task this large, the other point was that I treated the tank midway through the first day with 2 gallons of AFC-705 with a great deal of hope because the fuel had been in the tank without treatment for 8 years and was very dirty. We had a gap of several days because of rain before I could complete the second day and I was absolutely stunned at what AFC-705 had done with the fuel in the interim. It made the second day a cinch.
