ChangeXL fuels powered by the XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology are distributed by Gulf in the Netherlands to dozens of fishing trawlers.

The ship’s crew could see the noticeable difference and are impressed with the fuel technology.

ChangeXL cleans our fleet
“

Thanks to our premium fuel ChangeXL, which we are bunkering from Gulf bunkering in Den Helder, the soot emission has reduced by more than 50%. We see that directly on our back mast and satellite spheres. After a week of fishing, they are still clean and free of soot emission from the engine. Even when we start the engine we hardly see any more soot emission.

Reduces costs and gives more control

We had to replace our filters every trip. This was not only expensive but also an annoyance. The soot content of the lubricant oil was also continuously on the high side. Thanks to Change XL, these kinds of annoyances are a thing of the past and we have more control. The result was already visible after just a few months of using ChangeXL.

We notice that better combustion ensures a longer life of the lubricant oil and filters. Can you imagine what these benefits mean for the engine? After half a year, we can say that ChangeXL was an excellent change for us. These kinds of innovations ensure that we as a Dutch fishery can contribute to a healthier and cleaner environment.

Thanks to ChangeXL, we have next to no soot emissions. We don’t even see soot anymore when we start the engine. Our deck is absolutely clean and free of soot. It costs a few cents more, but it’s worth it because it’s so economical. The better combustion ensures a longer life of lubricants and filters and ultimately for the engine as well. In addition to reducing soot emissions, it also ensures a CO2 reduction.
