An international company has introduced a new fuel saving software chip onto the Ghanaian market. The chip, known as ECO fuel saver chip or BIOPRO QX-3 which costs 1.5 million cedis (GH 150), is designed to reduce emissions and increase mileage on both diesel and petrol engine vehicles. The Bio-Pro Chip, introduced by ARRMCON/AMI, influences fuel molecules in the fuel tank by opening them up and allowing them to hold more oxygen. This results in cleaner burning of fuel in the combustion chamber and, therefore, less emissions and better engine preservation, Mrs. Florence Hymore, Executive Secretary of ARRMCON,the Eco Savers Afrique project who introduced the software said at a press conference in Accra. She said the chip was helping to process fuel in a programmed way in most vehicles, adding that it was not only good economically but environmentally, as it helped the engine to perform better. She said the chip gave fuel savings of up to 30 per cent and reduced emissions by up to 80 per cent and enhanced engine performance, combustion and power sound. Mrs. Hymore said tests conducted in Italy, Austria, Germany and the US confirmed that ECO-Fuel savers did not only increase engine-power output but also reduced key emissions. She said by this those who used the product reduced pollution and saved money. Source: GNA
