System improves fuel use
PVI International Inc. has introduced the Platinum Vapor Injection system for gasoline and diesel-fueled vehicles.
The company says the product improves fuel efficiency, reduces hydrocarbon emissions and extends the life of the catalytic converter.
It uses the same chemistry as a catalytic converter. Platinum and rhodium are dispensed in microscopic amounts into the engine’s combustion chamber through a T-connection to the vehicle’s vacuum line.
More of the fuel is burned in the engine and less is exhausted.
