Remember that leaded fuel burns slower thus more power. Unleaded fuel is
actually less effective.

We have run our fuel in both high and low compression piston engines and a
different formulation in a T-37 turbine with no problems. In fact, the ground
testing showed an improvement in fuel consumption of 15-25%.
Right now we are concentrating on a replacement for 100 low lead av fuel. In the
future, we plan to enter other markets, the first of which would be JetA and the
military JP series. We plan on finishing the ASTM D-910 testing this month for
the 100LL. Then we can contact the FAA and press on with life testing, both
ground and air.

As far as using diesels in the GA fleet, there is a limit on the practical power
before the engine becomes too heavy. Our fuel is seamless in operation; same air
to fuel ratio, and you can switch readily between 100LL and Swift with ease.
When we get to turbines, we will use our same approach for a low-cost, practical
fuel as we did with 100LL. Again, we do not mix any of our renewable fuels with
petroleum products (as in the case of AGE85 and biodiesel turbine fuels); we do
not need to. Any further questions, please feel free to contact us here at
Swift.

We use a touch of methyl soyate (pure bio-diesel) in our mix of four
ingredients. Ethanol burned as a fuel only uses about 17% of its available
energy, which is why E85 is not a great fuel. We plan to use ethanol plants
(infrastructure) to create other chemicals that have a
greater energy density and therefore would make better fuels.

We don't have sulfur or lead in our formulation. Also lower carbon monoxide,
according to the Bacharach tests. Add to this, with 20% greater range, there's
20% less pollutants per mile. Our formulation can be made completely from
bio-materials. We can get the octane and energy curves to fit what is needed.

Our estimate for AV gas at this time is @ $2.00 a gallon, based on published
chemical costs.

Algae is an incredible source for raw materials for our fuel- we're thinking
that different productions methods for different areas would be part of our
program. We're talking to a guy in Austria whose specialty is using enzymes to
break down sawdust. Switch grass may be the source in Oklahoma. Since there
are so many ethanol plants in the Mid-West, we did focus on re utilizing them-at
this time they need new markets.

Reads like Bravo Sierra to this engineer. Poorly written Bravo Sierra at that. If anyone asks you to invest in this technology, give me a call first. I may have a better offer for you. I have access to the bank accounts of a deposed dictator and...
