| Notes: | The extraordinary improvement numbers found in this test report are primarily due to the extreme carbon build up in the Brahma's engine. FPC was able to clean the engine resulting in improvement numbers that are much larger than the norm. Per the observations section of the report, the gas analyzer's filters were plugged during the baseline testing: this implies that the percent improvement for the Brahma may actually be larger than the numbers reported. |
