“RCI

now standard
equipment…”
“Less down
time due to fuel
problems…”
“Extended
engine life…”
Alco Pump Company is a manufacturer of diesel driven vacuum assisted and well point equipment.
Approximately one (1) year ago, we were introduced to the RCI Technologies’ fuel purifier (formally
known as RCI Purifier West) and after conducting several months of testing, we made the RCI purifier
standard equipment on all our units.
We have found our distributors are experiencing less down time due to fuel problems. The RCI purifier
has also extended the life on our engine fuel injection systems.

“The RCI

“To meet our
customer‟s

Los Angeles International Airport – LAX is one of the countries busiest airports. Here at Avis we
operate a fleet of twenty two diesel powered buses on a start and stop basis, constantly picking up and
dropping off our customers at their rental car or return flight.
Everyone knows Avis tries harder. That slogan applies to all phases of our entire operation. The use of
the RCI fuel purifier on our diesel fuel dispenser pump saves us time, labor, and above all money. We
are a service-oriented company; if a customer cannot reach our transportation, he can go to one of our
competitors and we loose revenue. The RCI fuel purifier is the first line of defense, protecting our
buses so we can be sure to meet our customers needs.
Since we installed the RCI Technologies purifier, we have experienced no smoke or odor problems and
our “TRY HARDER” buses are welcome anywhere at the airport.

“Would have

“Haven‟t had a
plugged filter
in over 5
years…”
“I will never
go to sea
without the
RCI…”
We installed an MFP 80 on the MV BB Fine, our 36-foot Krogen, well over 5 years ago. In the past, I
have seen water and dirt particles in the small amount I have purged from the purifier. This year I
decided to save everything purged from the unit during our 3350 mile cruise, fueling in Washington,
Canada and Alaska.
The amount purged from the purifier totaled about a third of a gallon but “Boy, was it dirty.” You can
see the water, dirt, algae, sludge, and other debris my Racor filter never got to see. After seeing this
fuel, I am sure I would have had to change my Racor filter element several times during our cruise.
Since installing the RCI Marine Fuel Purifier, I have never had a “plugged” filter.
I must be one of the happiest owners of your purifier, I continue to tell everyone I meet about your
product and I know I will never go to sea without the RCI Marine Fuel Purifier.

This is an excellent product and we are proud to be associated with it. We are also pleased with our own
performance within the “engine-generator” market segment. Many of the projects specified for bid
within San Diego and Imperial County include a requirement for an RCI Technologies fuel purifier.
Our service contracts have given us a substantial market for installation of purifiers on existing
installation of purifiers on existing installations; in fact, most of our repeat customers have now
purchased the RCI Technologies fuel purifier.

“Solved the
problem…”
“Liked the

“Purchased
another FP
800..”
I am writing to express my appreciation of your line of fuel filters. We purchased an FP 800 and
installed it on a problem we had on a field diesel fuel tank. This solved the problem we were having
with contaminates. I like the simplicity of the unit, no replacement parts. We can virtually forget about
the unit.
We just purchased another FP 800 for another tank and expect the same great performance from this
unit. We hope to continue to do business in the future with RCI Technologies, as we feel they will
satisfy our needs in every way.

“Installed FP
400 on a snow
plow and the fuel
problem
disappeared…”
“Working in hot
dusty
construction
areas and cold
winter
conditions…”
“Experiencing
delays and slow
downs because
of filter
clogging…”
Cal Trans is the state agency responsible for the repair and maintenance of thousands of miles of Interstate and
California State highways. Here, in the Fresno Equipment Service Center, our vehicles are used to maintain
numerous mountain roads and passes with snow, ice and freezing temperatures during the winter and dry, almost
desert conditions, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees during the summer. This wide swing in
temperature, and the fact that our equipment is usually working in dusty construction areas helps cause an
excessive amount of condensation in addition to dust and other contaminants in our vehicles fuel tanks. For these
reasons, our operating procedures call for routine servicing of our International “Dump Trucks” every 6000 miles
or 90 days. Fuel filters are routinely changed every other service or about twice a year. Even with this procedure
we were experiencing numerous delays, and time consuming slow downs because of frequent filter clogging,
resulting in costly unscheduled or emergency filter changes, especially during cold winter conditions on the snow
plow equipped International “Dump Trucks.”
As a test we purchased and installed an RCI fuel purifier, Model FP 400, on one of our snowplows. Our fuel
problem disappeared. We continue to be surprised at the amount of water and other contaminates the RCI purifier
consistently (and with no continuing maintenance) removes from our fuel. We purge the purifier during our
normal maintenance, and are definitely considering extending our fuel filter replacement schedule.
We recently purchased a supply of RCI fuel purifiers. We keep them in stock, and as our mechanics service other
trucks and equipment in our district, we intend to install the RCI Technologies fuel purifier on all our vehicles.

“50% longer

“Reduced

“Reduced filter

At GTE we use the purifier on our emergency generators, of which we have approximately three
hundred and eighty in California. We began using RCI Technologies’ purifiers because our
maintenance budget was reduced. We had to find ways to cut back our costs, while at the same time
continue to provide reliable emergency systems at all of our locations. Our generators run
approximately 30 hours per year. We were changing our fuel filters every 12 months, and now by using
RCI Technologies’ purifier, (formerly RCI Purifier West) we have extended this to 18 months.
Some of the engines we have installed the purifier on are: Caterpillar 3412, D343 & 3406, Komatsu
6D1051, Detroit Diesel 16V71 and 12V71, 671, Isuzu QD1456BDI, Mitsubishi S12NPT. With the RCI
Technologies’ purifiers, our filter disposal costs have been greatly reduced. The purifiers have worked
very well for us. Whenever we install new generators, they are always equipped with the RCI purifier.

“The solution
to eliminate
clogged filters
and delays at
the pump…”
“We are so
happy, we
purchased
another…”
Since we have 122 buses in our fleet and are pumping approximately 5000 gallons of fuel per night, we
were using between three and five fuel filters on our pumps, per week, to remove the water and other
contaminants. However, not only were we still experiencing problems with our fuel but it was costing
us approximately $200 per month on filters for the pumps.
We knew there must be a better way. We heard about the RCI Technologies fuel purifier and decided to
try it on one of our fuel pumps. We removed the fuel filter, installed the RCI purifier and are extremely
happy with the results. In fact, we are so happy we just purchased another RCI purifier. We will be
replacing all the fuel filters on our pumps with the RCI units.
Not only are out drivers not experiencing problems with clogged filters and delays at the pump but the
purifier is producing good, clean fuel for their buses. They love it! To top off this good news, the
purifier is a permanent solution that requires no replacement or changeable cartridge or cleaning of a
filter element. You simply drain it periodically and that’s all. It is maintenance free and will save us a
lot of money.
If you use diesel fuel, the RCI Diesel Fuel Purifier is your best friend. We highly recommend it!

This system has been very beneficial to our company. In the short time we have had it, it
has paid for itself many times over. With the poor quality of fuel that we have been
seeing it is helping a lot of our customers recoup costs from fueling stations that might
not have been possible before. Again thank you very much.

“RCI Purifiers
specified by
engineers…”
“Considerable
time and labor
savings…”
“No restrictions
or back
pressure…”
“Hazardous
waste costs
dramatically
reduced…”
We recently remodeled our fuel and service facility. After researching several possibilities, our
engineers specified the RCI Technologies’ fuel purifier, model FP 1500-P on each of our fuel islands.
Each of these RCI units is capable of handling fuel flows of up to 90 gallons per minute and adds no
restrictions or backpressure to the system.
The RCI slogan “The Permanent Solution” is correct, we have no more filters to change and are
therefore saving a considerable amount of time and labor. We no longer dispose of two or three quarts
of fuel with each filter change so our hazardous waste disposal cost has dramatically reduced. About
ninety five percent of what we throw away is now contaminated fuel compared to a normal filter change
where you throw away ninety five percent clear fuel in order to remove the five percent contamination.
All of this has occurred with no down side. We continue to have no fuel problems and are sure the
cleaner fuel will result in overall lower engine maintenance cost.
Incidentally, RCI purifiers have been specified on all pump islands in our new North Long Beach
facility, which is currently being designed.

We were impressed when we saw a demonstration of the RCI Technologies fuel purifier. However, we
also knew we purchased only top quality fuel, we had clean tanks, we replaced all fuel filters on a
regular basis and all of our equipment is constantly well maintained. Why buy something else!
Roesch Lines is a private carrier. We operate our own fleet of charter and transit buses and provide
drivers and maintenance service for some of the local charter bus companies.
One of our buses, a 1989 MCI Coach with a Detroit Diesel Engine had been giving our maintenance
people a real headache. In March of 1994, that bus was less than three (3) years old and we had already
replaced several fuel pumps. We were installing a new pump just about every six (6) months. The bus
was prone to breakdowns and proved to be so unreliable it was removed from our regular charter and
service runs.
After viewing another RCI demonstration, we decided to install an FP 400 fuel purifier on the bus.
Since March 1994, we have not changed or replaced the fuel pump on that bus. It is now back on
normal charter service runs in the Palm Springs - Palm Dessert area. The only thing we did was to
install the RCI purifier.

“Offshore 62‟
flush deck
motor-yacht…”
“Great work…”
“Congratulations
to the inventor…”
“Artemis …”
We trust you have obtained a copy of the September edition of “Sea” magazine. Besides the cover, there is a
three-page write-up on “Artemis”, which includes a reference to RCI Technologies fuel purifiers.
Although the article was a little confusing in its description (referring to the Winns filters as separating water
from the fuel, instead of the RCI`s) basically, both systems are capable of doing so, but the RCI centrifuge
filters are placed right off the outlet side of the fuel tanks, so they are our first line of defense.
In cruising Mexico last season, when fueling, not once did we have to revert to using our “Baja Filter”, and
considering we have wasted our money by even purchasing one.
The RCI purifier not only filtered out all of the impurities (and on our daily checks, there was plenty of
evidence), but also negated our using any expensive additives; such as “Bio-bore”, to eliminate algae growth,
when we left our vessel unattended in the marinas for weeks at a time. The fuel reaching our very sensitive
M.A.N. was clear, and we have never had fuel blockage problems or dirty injectors.
Before installing the RCI units, we had previously considered purchasing an Alfa-Laval fuel separator, but
the initial cost (at over $7,000) was very high, and space constraints; together with the necessity of a daytank for running, were insurmountable obstacles. The RCI units are so inconspicuous; they blend in and look
a part of the original fuel system. Great work and congratulations to the inventor! I am glad we discovered
your product – you should do more advertising to bring it to the boating community’s attention.

“Remember…ch
anging a fuel
filter …trying to
restart the
engine…in very
rough seas…”
“The RCI
technologies fuel
purifier takes
care…”
“Loss of engine
RPM‟s…”
Experienced skippers know fuel filter clogging occurs at the worst possible time. Rough seas stir up
solid particles of rust, algae, and sediment, which together with any coalesced water quickly ends up
clogging the primary filter. Which then impedes fuel flow, causing a rapid increase in vacuum pressure
and consequently a loss of engine RPM’s.
Like many sport and cruising yachts, my single engine 37 foot tug doesn’t have a great deal of
convenient engine room space. Access to fuel filters generally requires moving salon furniture to reach
the hatch covers, then crawling on hands and knees through small engine room access doors in order to
reach the clogged fuel filters.
The RCI Technologies fuel purifier, with the larger contaminate capacity, can be relied upon to trap the
stirred up algae, sediment, water and contaminates. Remember, the unpleasant and very dangerous task
of changing a fuel filter cartridge, plus filling the filter with clean fuel, bleeding all air from fuel lines
and restarting the engine, usually happens while you’re in very rough seas. I have had enough
experience under very adverse sea conditions. The RCI Technologies fuel purifier takes care of this!

“RCI purifiers

over 50,000
gallons of fuel
per month…”
“We are saving
money each
month…”
“Not one customer
complaint or

About a year ago, we purchased our first RCI Technologies’ fuel purifier, (formerly known as RCI
Purifier West). Since then, we have purchased fourteen (14) FP 1000-S and two (2) FP 1500-P, which
we installed at five of our ten locations. We hope to complete retrofitting our remaining five locations
this year. We are now specifying RCI purifiers to be installed on all our pumps at the new facilities we
are currently planning. Presently, RCI purifiers are responsible for cleaning over 50,000 gallons of
diesel fuel per month.
Before the installation of the RCI purifiers, we were replacing filters at our dispenser pumps at least
once a month, sometimes twice. We have estimated our filter savings to be over $275.00 per month, and
that does not include the labor and the hazardous waste fee for disposal.
Several months back we received a shipment of contaminated fuel. The samples we pulled looked milky
white, even after setting for a week. We pumped this fuel through our RCI purifier. The fuel now being
dispensed is crystal clear. In the past year, since we have had the RCI purifiers installed, we have not
had any customer complaints or problems.

“One had severe
contaminated
diesel fuel...”
“Since installing
the RCI... clogging
of my primary...
filter has not
occurred”
“Numerous
filters
failures....”
This letter is in regards to the RCI Technologies Fuel Purifier installed on my boat. I had severe
contaminated diesel fuel problems with water and algae.
I experienced numerous Racor filter failures in rough seas with the complete dying of my 80 Hp Ford
Lehman diesel engine. The Racor filter was completely clogged with algae that had been churned up in
the tank from rough seas.
I installed a larger Racor filter to try and compensate for the contaminated fuel and had the fuel and
tanks polished and also installed a backup electric fuel pump, to pump the fuel through the Racor filter
in an emergency. The clogging of the filter still occurred but not as often, if the filters were changed on
a regular basis.
Since installing the FPM 80-E Marine Fuel Purifier the clogging of my primary Racor filter has not
occurred and the dark algae contaminated fuel is not even reaching the Racor filter. The algae is being
removed by the RCI Purifier. It’s a great feeling to know that the water and algae in the contaminated
fuel is being removed when I am cruising and most of all during rough seas conditions when you depend
on the engine running.
Thank you RCI Technologies for solving my fuel problems and giving me peace of mind.

“We were

“Impressed by the

retained…”
“Our emergency

We purchased two FP 800 units for our dispenser pumps and one FP 80 for a loader that was giving us
problems.
The dispenser pump units are doing fine, we purge on a routine basis and have had no problems. The
loader, a Dresser model 200 crawler, powered by a Cummins engine is the real story. This unit had been
out on rental for some time and we were really having a lot of problems. We didn’t know the cause, but
we did know we needed help. We were forced to change the primary fuel filter once a day, sometimes
twice.
Since we have installed the RCI fuel purifier, we have not had to do any emergency filter changes. We
just completed a normal service on the loader, we purged the purifier and was really surprised and
impressed by the amount of water and contaminates the RCI purifier retained.
This particular loader is usually used on steep hillside projects and the fuel in the tank usually gets
sloshed around quite a bit. After seeing the contaminates retained by the RCI Technologies fuel purifier,
we now know it has saved us many emergency filter changes.

“Within the first
20 minutes the
rci purifier
removed 2 ½
gallons of
water…”
“We just paid to
have our tanks
cleaned…”
A little over a month ago we had our tank cleaned. The company hired to do the cleaning was
concerned about the amount of water contained in our fuel. They suggested we contact the RCI people.
Our tank is a vertically mounted 6,000-gallon, aboveground tank. It is located on the southeast side of
our building, right in the morning sun. Our personnel installed and plumbed a platform mounted FP
1500-P unit so that we could circulate fuel from our tank through the RCI purifier and back into the
tank, as well as making sure all fuel we were actually using went through the RCI unit before it went to
our boilers.
After installing the RCI unit, we used a gravity feed line to make sure we removed all the air from the
new installation as well as the RCI purifier. Once we were sure all the air had been purged we turned on
our circulating pump, which moves at least 40 gallons of fuel per minute. Within the first twenty
minutes, the RCI purifier removed 2½ gallons of water from our fuel. Remember, this was less than two
months after we paid $1,600.00 to have our tank cleaned. Water has been a regular problem for us,
especially since we began using Amber 363 Lonox oil. It looks like the RCI Technologies purifier just
took care of that.

Valdosta
Railway
“We heard about
rci and decided
to give it a
try…”
“Filter changes
have been
extended…”
“Installation was
simple…”
Valdosta Railway is one of the many short line railroads now operating throughout the country. And as
everyone in the short line railroad business knows, we generally do not have the newest and most
advanced locomotives. In our case we have two (2) 1950 vintage locomotives. The RCI purifier was
installed on #184.
Our routine/normal maintenance required to keep this locomotive running on its daily schedule (prior to
RCI installation) required changing or replacing the fuel filter every three days.
The RCI Fuel Purifier was installed about 6 months ago and our fuel filter replacement interval has been
extended to approximately twenty-one days. Your unit has saved us a considerable amount of money in
the short time we’ve had it installed.
Installation was simple and the purging of your purifier is even easier. We should have one on every
locomotive, especially those in service on the short lines.
