Trouble is the Press Telegraph news story was published on 25 June 2001. The Engineering Source Test was conducted June 12, 2001. The most recent press release on their site was in June 2002. That's the most recent thing I see there. Why would that be, with such a fuss over NOx? One press release says: "RxP Products, Inc. President Don Woodward announced today that Arizona based Supreme Oil has been chosen to market technology used to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from biodiesel." I found a news item announcing "Supreme Oil now has biodiesel fuel", dated 2001-03-27. Their website is here: http://www.supremeoil.com/biodieselx.html Supreme Oil Company - Serving California, Nevada and Arizona No mention of RxP that I can see. The links at their site are to World Energy (yawn) and the NBB (snore), but not to RxP. Their email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], if you want to write to them. You could also ask Don Woodward of RxP, "Don Woodward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - tell him I said so. I've been thinking of writing to him, but that won't be yesterday, you'll be quicker I think. >Biofuel Systems did not respond. That's surprising. I'll check. >I look forward to further info on your >Japanese friends' work on rapeseed oil based additives. We'll be seeing them soon, might get some more info, but I've no idea how far it is marketing.
