Today Green Star Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GSPI) announced that
it has received the final report on a fuel savings test conducted
on a Greek cruise ship.
The tests were conducted using Green Star's Diesel Fuel
Energizer (DFE) added to fuel tanks. Tests were performed on two
Caterpillar Ship Engines Model 3412 (rated at 720 H.P. each) and
also on two Caterpillar Generator Sets Model 3306 (rated 240 H.P.
each). The test data indicates the shipping vessel reduced fuel
consumption by an average of twelve percent (12%). The engines also
showed decreased smoke emissions to a point where smoke was no
longer visible. Also noted was a reduction of engine noise and
increased power and performance. For further information on the TVT
Product Line please see website http://www.GreenStarTVT.com.
Mr. Panos Doukakis, a well known international investor,
arranged for the test and stated that based on these results he is
now arranging for a much larger scope of tests on several more
vessels. Mr. Doukakis further stated that the TVT product line
could be a tremendous opportunity for the Shipping Industry to
reduce their emissions, smoke and fuel consumption. By cutting down
petroleum use, the Shipping Industry could also reduce its carbon
footprint (its CO2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions), which may
qualify for international carbon credits that were approved at the
2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
attended by President Barack Obama. Mr. Doukakis concluded that
this could represent billions in savings for the Maritime Industry.

Mr. Joseph LaStella, President of Green Star Products, stated,
"The success of the maritime test data represents a significant
opportunity for our Company." Mr. LaStella further stated, "We
cannot expect these results on all different types of engines used
for all different industries. In the past, we have had significant
positive test results on many types of engines. However, we must
clearly identify the fact that numerous test variables in
conjunction with engine designs, different testing protocols (also
called procedures, programs, etc.) used throughout the world and
other parameters (including weather conditions) can vary results
from test to test.
"Just consider engine testing protocols: There are many
different types of testing procedures and protocols used throughout
the world. There are testing programs that evaluate the engines at
set points (called modes) in a load testing cycle without
accounting for acceleration periods encountered in normal engine
operation. Tests may have 8-mode or as many as 13-mode evaluation
points and even these tests have set points which can differ
between test protocols used by the industry.
"There are also other test protocols, which are called
chassis-dyno tests, where the entire vehicle (not only the engine)
is tested by running on a dyno with the vehicle driven by a person
reacting to a computer screen which introduces significant
variables due to different driver capabilities.
"Furthermore, the engines themselves have changed throughout the
years. Injection systems have changed dramatically, increasing
pressures from as low as 200 psi to as high as 30,000 psi in new
engines, which add another level of complexity to testing
variables. And also new engines that are run by computer can now
introduce computer errors to the operating system of engines and
vehicles.
"Green Star's TVT fuel additive and engine oil additive tend to
reduce friction and wear on the engine while increasing the burning
efficiency in the combustion chamber. TVT products, by reducing
friction and improving efficiency, reduce operating parameters such
as turbo-charge temperature, exhaust temperatures and pressures.
However, in certain tests, the computer system interpreted the
change in these parameters and adjusted engine operating parameters
inaccurately.
"In the past, under real field conditions, the majority of
engines tested have responded very positively to the TVT products.
However, in view of some of the pitfalls outlined above, we suggest
that each company test their engines with Green Star's TVT products
to see benefits under real field conditions.
"In conclusion, we are happy to announce that the Greek ship
test was a complete success, and will go forward with further
testing on larger vessels. Green Star is in the process of testing
its entire product line in several countries around the world. The
testing includes cutting oils for machine shops, drilling compounds
for oil well drilling, and many other applications. We expect our
lubrication division to significantly increase its sales during
2010."
