This letter is submitted to TORCO to show my complete satisfaction with your TORCO DIESEL ACCELERATOR.

I am an RVer who has been traveling between the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Apache Junction AZ for the past 10 years. I travel on US 40 with a 2434 mile pull with a altitude climb of 7268 feet, or use US 20 with a 2554 mile pull with a altitude climb of 4992 feet.

I have been pulling a 33 foot 5th wheel RV trailer with a F350 turbo super diesel pickup. The combined unit weight is 22,480 lbs.

I always look for ways to increase fuel efficiency, improve engine performance, with travel comfort. A good friend of mine told me of his experience with the TORCO line of engine performance and fuel efficiency products.

I looked into their product line to see if they had anything that could improve the performance and efficiency of my truck on my long trips. I found they had a diesel fuel enhancer that looked like it might do the job.

I went online, researched the data on their website, and felt my travel situation would be an ideal opportunity to evaluate and improve my trip performance.

I ordered six cans (32oz. each) of your Diesel Accelerator. This amount would allow me to upgrade 192 gal of diesel fuel and cover three mountain passes I climb on my southern route to Arizona.

In Texas I added 38oz. of your Torco Diesel Accelerator when I topped off my 38 gallon fuel tanks. I pulled away from the Flying J and within 5 minutes after gaining an average running speed (62 mph) my wife asked to lower the volume of the radio. She stated the engine was running quieter and the volume was too loud.

In the past when driving over the many highway overpasses the transmission dropped out of overdrive 75% of the time. With the Torco Diesel Accelerator only about 5 to 10% of the time the percent climb was steep enough to have to shift into a lower gear. This was one of the greatest comforting experiences on my long trips. I tried utilizing cruise control and experienced the same situation of seldom shifting out of overdrive. The effects of driving in overdrive most of the time made a GREAT improvement in my fuel consumption and cost plus the added driving comfort.

The climbing of high mountain passes is always a challenge. Speed is normally reduced; lower gears are required, exhaust temp increases, and turbo pressure increases. With Torco Diesel Accelerator some very pleasant events occurred. On a 6% grade (called Rosebud) I maintained sixty two MPH, stayed in the normal right slow land, but not the truck slow lane. The smile on my face as I passed two 18 wheel trucks on the incline side made me an even greater fan of Torco products.

All in all I found the Torco Diesel Accelerator a GREAT product. It met and exceeded all of my expectations. I only utilized a major part of my supply of the additive, but still covered all of the challenging mileage and situations I wished on my trip. I will order another supply of the additive prior to my return to the beautiful state of VIRGINIA.
