Official Fuel Ox® Distributor

Save 5–10% on fuel costs. Protect your engines. Reduce emissions.

Fuel Ox® is an EPA-registered combustion catalyst that gives diesel engines a more complete burn — documented fuel-efficiency gains of 5–10% and more in real fleet and mining trials. PFM Global (Pty) Ltd brings it to South African fleets, mines and farms.

What is Fuel Ox®?

A combustion catalyst — not just another additive

Most additives only clean or stabilise fuel. Fuel Ox® goes further: its patented combustion catalyst promotes a more complete, more efficient burn inside the engine.

  • More complete combustion = more power from every litre
  • Dispersant-detergent keeps injectors and fuel systems clean
  • Stabilises stored fuel and inhibits microbial growth
  • Adds lubricity to protect pumps and injectors
  • 100% soluble in diesel, petrol and heavy fuel oil

Why it matters in South Africa

Diesel is one of the biggest line items for any fleet, mine or farm. At today’s prices, even a conservative 5% fuel saving translates into hundreds of thousands of rand per year for a mid-sized fleet.

Add reduced soot, fewer DPF regenerations, cleaner injectors and longer engine life — and the additive pays for itself many times over.

How It Works

Six ways the combustion catalyst transforms your burn

Fuel Ox® Combustion Catalyst Disperses fuel clumps → better fuel–oxygen mixing Lowers ignition point ~110 °C → earlier ignition, longer burn Promotes free-radical formation → more complete combustion Hotter, faster flame → less soot Protects components → no carbon buildup on injectors & valves Cuts emissions → acts like an in-fuel catalytic converter

The Benefits

What Fuel Ox® does for your operation

Improved Fuel Economy

A more complete burn improves fuel economy — documented field gains from 6% to over 30% depending on engine and duty cycle.

Lower Emissions

Cleaner combustion means less soot, smoke and particulate output — and dramatically fewer DPF regens.

Engine Protection

Added lubricity and detergency protect injectors, pumps and fuel systems, reducing maintenance costs.

Fuel Stability

Stabilises stored diesel and inhibits bacterial growth in tanks — critical for backup generators and farm storage.

More Power, Less Noise

Better thermal efficiency delivers smoother, quieter running and improved engine response under load.

Rapid Payback

At a 1:10 000 treat rate the cost per litre treated is tiny — savings typically exceed cost many times over.

Proven Results

Documented field trials, real numbers

+0 Peak fuel-efficiency gain

Adamus Resources — Ghana mining

Aug–Sep 2025 trial across CAT haul trucks, an excavator and a bulldozer.

  • Gains of +6.4%, +8.07%, +9.7% and +30.53% per machine
  • Efficiency improved across every unit tested (range 6.4–30.5%)
Open-pit gold mine, West Africa — heavy earthmoving duty cycle.
+0 Fleet-wide km/l improvement

Tyre Renewals fleet trial — UK

11 tractor-trailers, May 2025–Apr 2026. Independent report by IESG.

  • Fleet fuel economy rose from 3.54 to 3.98 km/l
  • Consumption rose 17.19% after treatment stopped — economy fell back to 3.30 km/l
  • ~21% AdBlue improvement (adjusted)
Independently verified, year-long on-road fleet data.
+0 Peak gain — AngloGold Ashanti excavator

African mining majors — Burkina Faso, Ghana & DRC

Documented trials across leading African mining and drilling operations.

  • IAMGOLD, Essakane Mine (Burkina Faso): +8.12% and +10.1% on 150-ton haul trucks; +32.14% on a CAT D9 bulldozer
  • AngloGold Ashanti, Obuasi (Ghana): gains up to +37.4% and +42.4% on excavators
  • PW Mining (Ghana): +9.32% and +14.43% on CAT 777D haul trucks
  • Mining Haulage Katanga (DRC): +13.3% and +8.9% on haul trucks

+0 Generator fuel-efficiency gain

Power generation & emissions testing

Generator and laboratory emissions results from documented trials.

  • Parker Wellbore (UAE): +10.24% across three 500–650 kVA diesel generators
  • Detroit Diesel/MTU testing for Anglo American (Chile): +3.96% on an MTU genset
  • Tinka Resources (Peru, 4 300 m altitude): particulate matter −84%, NOx −53%, SO₂ −78% on diesel generators
Critical for standby power — cleaner injectors, stable stored fuel, reliable starts.
R0 Net saving per truck, per year

Long-haul trucking economics

Fuel Ox hard-numbers case for over-the-road Class 8 trucks.

  • ≈ R10.3 million per year across a 100-truck fleet
  • ~15× ROI on additive cost
  • ~70% fewer DPF regens
  • ~15% less AdBlue consumed
Modelled on documented per-truck fuel, AdBlue and maintenance data.
