Nano boron additive boosts economy

By Roger Brown A TRUCK HAS recorded a significant improvement in fuel economy after using a new engine oil additive developed in Turkey.
The 12-year-old, three-axle ERF EC6, which had recently passed its annual vehicle test, had the BORPower product from NanoBoron added to it as part of a test carried out last month at the MIRA test track in Warwickshire. The test was supervised by respected transport engineer Roger Denniss.
Initially, the vehicle was inspected for defects, and a nine-tonne load secured to a flatbed.
With only regular oil in the engine, the vehicle was driven through a standard BTAC test cycle on track by a professionally qualified MIRA test driver. The BORPower additive was then added to the engine, and the vehicle was allowed to run commercially for five days to make sure the engine components were effectively coated. A second test, identical to the first, was then carried out. The truck posted a 10.8% improvement in fuel economy following the addition of BORPower. Denniss says: "I have been doing testing like this for 40 years all over the world, and I've seen all sorts of claims for engine additives. It was nothing short of sensational."
BORPower can be used in all four-stroke engines whether they run on petrol, diesel or LPG. It contains the active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron. Under high pressure between two metal surfaces, the boron diamond crystals are pressed into the material to form a boron metal film.
NanoBoron, the UK distributor for BORPower, claims the product can improve power by up to 9%, lower oil temperature by up to 30%, and reduce corrosion, friction and engine wear. Further tests are also planned.
