16/12/2003 – Fishing trawler saves 490 litres of fuel per week with Fitch Catalyst
We were approached by Mr Paul Riley, the distributor for Townsville and North Queensland in regard to the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in October 2003.
Marshelly fishing Co operates four prawn trawlers out of Innisfail in Far North Queensland. We decided with some reservations to try the Fitch Fuel Catalyst out on one of our vessels.
This vessel is fitted with a V12 Mercedes and has 360 hp rating with a fuel consumption of 700 litres per day. We found after 42 days at sea, our fuel consumption had been reduced to 630 litres per day, therefore providing a saving of 70 litres per day or 490 litres per week.
It has been noticed that exhaust emission have become almost visually non-existent. We are impressed enough to now fit our other three vessels including two trucks and assorted generators.
We have also hosted Paul and John from Fitch Fuel Qld at our home to talk to other trawler operators in Innisfall. This achieved a positive response.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Marcia Nebe
Managing Director
