Tracy Lewis Performance Releases it’s light fleet version of their Patented solution to Oil dilution and premature wear in GDI equipped vehicles.
Palmetto, FL / The Automotive Industry adoption of GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) technology over the tried and true port injections all have been accustomed to for the past few decades that would last 200k plus miles with minimal care has resulted in a high percentage of catastrophic engine failures and internal parts failures. This has hit these light fleets consisting of light trucks, vans, taxis, Municipal vehicles hard as far as operating costs to keep them running and predictable as far as setting budgets based on the past technologies. Unplanned down time and the ability to use for the time and miles they had been accustomed too has thrown this industry into a bit of the unknown. And has launched an era of class action suites against most all automakers worldwide. The issues: How has the industry responded? Aside from denying any of this was occurring early on, and then claiming they “addressed” the issues, they finally reduced the warranty period on these GDI engines from an industry standard 100k mile warranty to 36k miles reducing their exposure to long term liability. But for the average light fleet owner, that does little. The Tracy Lewis Catch Can addresses the cause of these issues by providing full time vacuum based evacuation of these substances before they have a chance to settle and mix and accumulate in the crankcase. And it does so retaining a closed system that actually reduces tailpipe emissions by removing these before the combustion process, scrubbing the vapors to remove and contain these contaminants separately for proper disposal later. The engine oil remains clean and in comparable condition for 2-3 times as long so drain intervals can be extended (with regular oil analysis to monitor). Wear is reduced to a minimum. The intake valve coking, if the system is installed when new, or nearly new, prevents up to 85% of these deposits from forming to begin with. Downtime is reduced to port injection engine levels. And an unexpected benefit from the elimination of most oil vapor caused knock retard results in a minimum average gain of 10% in fuel economy (with many seeing 12-14% gain). Fleet owners/managers that have at least 50 vehicles in their fleet and track all costs incurred (including fuel usage) can request a complete system to test to validate and verify the benefits at no cost and we will train their techs on all involved. Average ROI can be achieved in 4-8 months depending on miles driven, and from there on out the cost savings realized is substantial. Visit the website to learn more about the Tracy Lewis Catch Can.
