WHAT IS MAX MILEAGE?
INCREASE YOUR THERMAL EFFICIENCY
Engineered to accelerate the burn rate of diesel molecules of all sizes, our catalyst ensures optimal utilization of fuel energy, releasing more BTUs of heat earlier during the power stroke. By minimizing the wastage typically associated with soot and high Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), Max Mileage Fuel Borne Catalyst elevates the thermal efficiency of any engine by an average of 10%. This enhancement in efficiency not only translates to fuel savings but also contributes to a marked reduction in harmful emissions.
REDUCE YOUR SOOT OUTPUT BY UP TO 60%
Our catalyst operates efficiently to combat soot emissions. It achieves this by burning soot at the significantly lower temperature of 750 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the typical 1000-degree ignition point for soot. This ensures thorough emission reduction while optimizing engine and aftertreatment system performace.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
SMOOTHER & QUIETER ENGINE
Often the first and most noticeable change is a quieter and smoother running engine. You may also feel more power and a quicker response.
EXTENDED ENGINE LIFE
Soot is the enemy of any diesel engine. It's abrasive and harmful to your engine's rings and liners. Max Mileage will lower the soot levels in your oil sample.
REDUCED DEF CONSUMPTION
With lower EGT, less DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is used. Yet another way the product more than pays for itself.
LONGER DPF LIFESPAN
Less soot also means your DPF will last much longer requiring only minimal maintenance, saving you time and money.
FEWER REGENERATIONS
With Max Mileage you will notice fewer regens. Wasting fuel and time on regens of all types is not productive for your business.
TEST RESULTS
The test engine: 2016 Cummins ISX CM2350 set at 550 hp. The fuel treatment began April 2018 with 272,476 miles on the odometer and concluded in late July with 308,218 miles. The ECM had the standard factory program. The truck is a Kenworth W900 “SuperCab”.
The engine test facility: We (Pittsburgh Power) performed the test for fuel economy using our Taylor chassis dynamometer. Our dyno uses a water brake to control the engine at a fixed rpm and percent load (torque). We also measured the exhaust emissions using a Portable Emissions Measurement System manufactured by Sensors Inc. These emissions measurements were converted to fuel consumption estimates using EPA compliant methods for certifying engine fuel consumption (40 CFR Part 1065). Dyno testing eliminates any influence of external variables on fuel economy such as wind and rolling resistance, driving style, and terrain.
After the baseline testing was complete, the same engine began use of diesel treated with Max Mileage FBC (fuel borne catalyst). The driver noted smoother, quieter engine operation and better pulling power (common feedback from customers). His manually logged baseline MPG was 5.2. The driver noted that fuel mileage gradually increased over the evaluation period. The driver-logged MPG from beginning to end of the 3-month test period was 5.85 MPG. This represents an increase of 13% which included the initial clean-up and conditioning time. The driver-logged MPG for the last 2 months of the test period was 5.94, an increase of 14%. These results are consistent with the dyno results obtained under controlled conditions of rpm and load.
“Return to Baseline” test and repeat: As a check on the driver reported MPG evaluation, we ran a repeat test in which the truck was driven with untreated fuel for ~30,000 miles. This “return to baseline” evaluation began in the fall of 2018 with use of “winter” fuel and lasted for approximately two months. Treatment of the fuel with Max Mileage resumed on Jan. 24, 2019, again using winter fuel, and ended on Mar. 14, 2019. Recorded numbers from the truck owner’s manual fuel log were 2,568 gallons of diesel burned over 14,289 miles driven since he resumed use of treated fuel. That adds up to an estimated fuel economy of 5.5 MPG, significantly higher than the original 4.9 MPG achieved over the previous two-month period. The increase in driver reported fuel economy for this second evaluation was 13%, consistent with previous results obtained with the rolling dynamometer (controlled conditions) and the MPG calculated manually by the owner of the engine from his fuel log.

Dosing instructions
Things you need to know before you begin: You'll need a pair of gloves (Solvent resistant / Nitrile) and measuring device. Be careful not to let the catalyst touch your skin. Please use one of our approved measuring devices or if you want to use your own device, it should be glass or fluorinated plastic.
Dose at every fuel stop. Once you've filled the tanks, measure out the correct amount of catalyst for each tank. The correct dose is one ounce for every 25 gallons of diesel fuel. Use the back of the bottle for reference. For gasoline engines, the correct dose is one ounce for every 30 gallons of fuel, or one ml per gallon. The catalyst is designed to mix itself. That's it!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it for my diesel pickup truck, diesel car, farm tractor?
Yes, it can be used for any diesel engine. Use consistently for best results. Please follow the dosing guide provided on the label of each bottle.
Can I use it for my gas engine?
Yes, but please change the treat ratio to 1 ounce for every 30 gallons. This is equivalent to 1 ml or CC for every gallon of gasoline. The product is safe and effective for consistent use in both 2-stroke and 4-stroke gasoline engines.
Bonus: The anti-knock properties of Max Mileage FBC work well for classic cars.
Do you have distributors?
Yes, please check the Dealer map for contact information.
How is this different from other fuel additives?
Be assured, there is no other product on the market with the same active ingredients. No other product can come close when it comes to reducing soot and all the benefits that follow.
Will Max Mileage FBC work for my pre-emissions heavy duty diesel engines?
Yes, it works the same way in all diesel engines to improve combustion on average by ~10%. The main results are better fuel economy and dramatically lowered exhaust emissions as demonstrated by validated test procedures.
Can I mix with other fuel additives?
Yes, it's safe to mix with all other fuel additives. But please do not mix it directly with other additives, instead let them mix in the tank.
Will I see changes to my oil sample?
Yes, you may see an increase in Iron. This is nothing to worry about as long as other wear metals stay consistent.
Can iron deposits from Max Mileage hurt my engine?
No. The iron-containing molecules in Max Mileage FBC are fully dissolved as a liquid ingredient, similar to iron in your blood. It’s also diluted to just a few PPM so it cannot cause any damage due to frictional wear in the high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors. Max Mileage's EPA testing concluded there are no negative effects from long term use.
Max Mileage FBC is on the EPA list of registered fuel additives under CFR Part 79. What does this mean?
This means that Max Mileage FBC meets or exceeds EPA criteria for demonstrating no harm to either engines or the environment and is approved for use in all US road diesel.
What is this red-orange residue on my DPF filter?
Because of the absence of the oily black soot coating on the DPF it is easy to see the red-orange discoloration that results from the iron ingredient over many thousands of miles driven. This will be removed with periodic cleaning of the DPF as recommended by the engine manufacturer just like other ash (metallic) residues from other sources, including engine oil, coolant, dust and dirt, and rust contaminated fuel.
Will Max Mileage FBC eliminate ash deposits in my DPF?
Max Mileage FBC is designed to reduce and/or eliminate soot deposits. Soot is the primary culprit for DPF regeneration problems as well as premature engine wear and emissions system failures in modern diesel engines. Unlike soot, ash cannot be burned off. Total ash from all sources (fuel contamination, engine oil additives, dirt and dust) only makes up a very small fraction of the incoming soot, typically less than 5%. Ash remains in the DPF as an incombustible material left behind following the DPF regeneration process and builds up over very long periods of time. Therefore, ash must be periodically removed via shop cleaning.
How does Max Mileage FBC decrease my DEF usage?
Simply put, a more efficient engine will produce less NOx. Max Mileage FBC significantly increases the thermal efficiency of ANY engine, with or without emissions after treatment systems. In newer engines, the SCR system injects DEF fluid into the exhaust corresponding to the amount of NOx measured by the NOx sensor. Because the catalyst lowers NOx levels by 15% on average, the ECM responds by sending a signal to the SCR to inject less DEF, correspondingly.
I have an “in-service” engine. How long will it take for Max Mileage FBC to burn out carbon deposits and soot build-up in my engine and exhaust system?
The “clean-out’ effect of Max Mileage FBC for an in-service diesel engine can take 4 to 6 weeks, on average, to complete. This means that initially, the DPF sensors may react to higher levels of smoke being produced internally as the soot is being burned off at a lower temperature with the help of the fuel catalyst. In some cases, especially for very high mileage engines, things may appear to get worse before they get better. This is normal and should pass without resulting in an engine “derate” situation.
Why is Max Mileage so expensive?
At the suggested dilution, a bottle of Max Mileage will treat 3200 gallons of fuel, costing you only $.07/gallon. Besides the expensive ingredients that go into the catalyst, there is considerable research and development that went into formulating the product. Of course, the benefits you realize from using Max Mileage provide a substantial return on your investment.
Is Better Diesel FBC approved by CARB for use in California road fuels?
Yes
What is my cost for Max Mileage FBC?
At the suggested treat ratio, one gallon of Max Mileage FBC will treat 3200 gallons of fuel at a cost of around $.08/gallon of fuel. This translates to approximately $0.01/mile of cost assuming an average baseline fuel economy of 7 MPG.Our product has been verified to produce tangible benefits that translate to lower cost of ownership of heavy duty transport trucks. The ROI (Return on Investment) can range anywhere from 300% to 800%, depending on the type of engine and mode of operation. The maximum yearly investment for a typical OTR truck owner will be 4 to 5 gallons of Max Mileage FBC. Savings accrue through reduced fuel costs, reduced DEF consumption (if applicable), and less down-time especially from exhaust after-treatment system repairs (if applicable). All diesel engines potentially will gain longevity due to drastically reduced soot production and the gradual burning out of accumulated carbon deposits, two of the main causes of engine wear.Bonus: Diesel engines run smoother and quieter with Max Mileage FBC which results in less frictional wear caused by engine vibration.
Does Max Mileage FBC have any effect on the lubricity of diesel?
No, our independent tests using ASTM D6079 demonstrate that Max Mileage FBC has no measurable effect on the lubricity of diesel fuel.
Why does my Max Mileage FBC turn dark brown after sitting for some time? Is it safe to use?
Why does my Max Mileage FBC turn dark brown after sitting for some time? Is it safe to use?
How long does Max Mileage FBC last?
Max Mileage has a long shelf life, at lest two years.
How do I clean up Max Mileage FBC after a spill?
Our favorite cleaning method is isopropyl alcohol diluted with water. Use disposable shop towels and discard in an out door trash receptacle.(Wear protective gloves and avoid breathing fumes!)
