Waste Management

We are happy to report that having installed the Algae-X magnetic fuel devices on our fleet of forty trucks in December of 2011, we have experienced significant cost savings and less down time. The quick installation and no maintenance got us off to a good start.

Our fleet is comprised of front load, rear load, side load recycle and roll-offs. We have Mack, Cat and I.H.C for engines.

In the first five months of installation we have decreased our fuel consumption by over one percent average, while also changing fuel filters every other oil change instead of every oil change, which normally takes place every 300 hours or approximately every six weeks. The filter savings adds up to about $3,600.00 annually, while the fuel consumption decrease is around $4,992.00 annually. These figures do not include the cost of labor or the loss of fuel at filter changes. We have not been able to put a cost savings on the engine components, but we have noticed a reduction in fuel pump failures on certain engines.

One other good feature is the reduction of smoke. We’re burning all the fuel instead of letting it go out the exhaust pipe in the form of black, smelly smoke.

I want to thank you for a great product that will add dollars to our bottom line while we go about the everyday business of Waste Management.

With Best Regards,
