Fuel Ox Additive boost mining equipment performance

Fuel Ox, a fuel additive is helping mining companies save on costs and improves performance. Mining businesses invest significantly in rock haulers, excavators, slurry pumps and other heavy equipment. The diesel and maintenance costs for that machinery can pile up quickly while chipping away at the bottom line. Some African mining companies have discovered a way to drive operational and fuel savings while maximising the performance and durability of their crucial equipment and curtailing emissions, with the product with Combustion Catalyst. Originally developed as an additive for high-intensity applications including… Read More Here
