The SmartPlug Catalytic Ignition system was used in place of the Diesel
Injectors. Low pressure, automotive, muti-port, electronic fuel injectors
supplied the fuel through the manifold.
Data from the NIATT Center (National Institute for Advanced Transportation
Technology) showed that the converted engine made 40% more power, had
55% better thermal efficiency and engine out NOx and Particulate were
below current standards without after treatment. The dilute ethanol fuel is
estimated to cost less that half the diesel fuel cost for the same power
output or distance traveled.

Indicated efficiency 27.1% 42.1% +55%
BSNOx [gm/kW*hr] 2.48 0 .478 -81%
Particulate Matter 30% Opacity Zero Opacity -100%

This Converted Diesel engine will start and run on 35% water, 65% ethanol
at all temperatures. It is more efficient, has more power and meets
emission standards without particulate filters or SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
