Biofriendly is scamming

Caroll's company, BioFriendly (http://biofriendly.com) has a fuel additive product called GreenPlus that they claim is effective at reducing diesel emissions. The use of emissions reduction technology is required in Texas, but only technologies approved by the TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) can satisfy the requirement. There are three labs in the US approved to do the kind of testing that can certify a diesel emissions reduction product for TCEQ. One of them is close to me; it's at West Virginia University, in Morgantown, WV. Another one is Southwest Research Institute, in San Antonio, TX. The third is in California.

My sources tell me that all three labs examined the product and determined that it does not reduce emissions. Furthermore, its composition is 98% rubbing alcohol.

Basically Texas requires that all diesel fuel have an additive which will reduce emissions. I know someone who works for this company which has a legit product to reduce emissions but is having trouble getting the product accepted because of greedy people like the guy in the article. I know this is not a CNN article but I have a lot of confidence that the article is based on facts.

It is a shame that a regulation meant to make the environment cleaner is being abused like so many other things.

If a fuel additive will reduce emissions I am wondering why its not required in all states. Is it expensive?

Most states actually have standards . . . that's the primary reason this fraud is only found in Texas.

I tried acetone in my TL-S last year. It didn't work me, either.

shouldn't be if it's 98% rubbing alcohol. but that 2% could be some rare stuff, or it could be snake oil.

Texas is supposedly the hardest state to get this type of thing passed in so if it goes in Texas it will go by easy with the boards from the the rest of the states as well. I think the reason that texas is so important is because of the oil that is/was pumped from there.
