Emission Controls Corp. Completes Initial Testing on the Mini-Natural Resources Fuel Reformer

PALM CITY, Fla. Jan. 3, 2003; Emission Controls Corp.(ECC), has completed preliminary testing of the Mini-Natural Resources Fuel Reformer (MNRFR). ECC is the developer and holder of all rights to the Natural Resources Fuel Reformer (NRFR) and the Mini-Natural Resources Fuel Reformer (MNRFR), which are designed to deliver hydrocarbon-based fuels to an internal combustion engine in such a manner as to exhaust zero or near-zero toxic emissions and pollutants and significantly increase the efficiency of the engine.
    The results of the initial testing for the (MNRFR) were completed on a Mustang dynamometer complemented by the Mustang IM 240 Emission Analyzer. The tests were run on a 1999 Ford Expedition with a 5.4 liter engine. The results of the test indicated substantial reductions in toxic emissions and pollutants and significantly increased the gas mileage of the engine. The results are as follows:

-- The IM 240 test is four minutes in duration.


    ECC is also conducting road tests on the above SUV for fuel efficiency. The initial results are as follows:

    Baseline Tests

    Average miles per gallon = 16.447 mpg

    Installation of MNRFR

    Average miles per gallon = 39.28 mpg

    ECC will be contracting with a third-party testing facility within the next 30 days to verify the following:

    1. The emission results stated above.
    2. Translate the above results into Euro 2 and Euro 3 standards.
    3. Verify the increased fuel efficiency.

    Once the third-party validation has been obtained, ECC will begin the marketing phase of its business plan that includes manufacturing and marketing licensing rights.
    It is the intent of ECC to market the NRFR and the MNRFR through licensing agreements. ECC desires to readily qualify, further develop, manufacture and market the NRFR by identifying and licensing qualified manufactures and marketing sources. ECC has scheduled and is scheduling demonstrations for potential licensees during January.
