Hi! I'm Chris Reinauer from Reinauer Transportation. We're a family-run business, incorporated in 1923. We operate over 50 vessels on the eastern seaboard. We have over 400 employees. Tufoil is kind of an insurance policy. It helps me reduce failures, reduce downtime, run more efficient. Those are my three primary reasons for operating it. |

It was purely selfish. When I was operating maintenance and repair, I got phone calls late at night. Tufoil helped me reduce the phone calls at night. So I got to sleep a little easier. We found some areas where it is hard to quantify the results. Typically, the easiest thing to find a benefit is in a gearbox where it runs under constant load and you get stable load, stable temperatures and you could take readings either on a motor or an engine, either the percent load of the motor or diesel. A lot of the diesels can tell you what percent load is, because they're electronic. |

You do it before and after running with the Tufoil. Usually, the results are "running cooler." If you see a 10 degree drop, on a 200° operation, that means a lot to the oil's health and welfare as well as the equipment in reducing friction (reducing friction / reducing wear). You're increasing the life of the oil, so all in all, you're giving yourself more time between oil changes simple because you're not cooking the oil. |

Most lube oils don't like to see constant operation over 210°. The primary gear box that we run fleet wide is called an angle drive on a barge pump and they run about 220°. They require a little different oil (turbine oil) that can run hotter, constantly, but running the Tufoil in it, it drops the temperature sometimes 10°, sometimes 15° and sometimes even more than that. |

If you want to try it, maybe you could try it where you already have a problem. If you have a problem and you can't understand why; it seems like you have to overhaul something a little bit too frequently, try it there. If you're willing to try new things, try it in your own automobile. |

When you know all these things and feel you have a good baseline, like an experiment, add the Tufoil to your next oil change and then compare. Did Tufoil work for you? Absolutely! The first car I ever added it to, I had nearly a 200rpm increase at idle, which was pretty staggering. That's one reason I got very interested in it very quickly. |

There's no other product on the market that could do either. In fact, this product does more than just reduce friction. It's a good thing. |
10 sec. |
It's been in every car I owned ever since. |

What are your experiences with Tufoil? Lower temperature, less wear and tear and friction, less lubrication breaking down and stuff like that. |

I've been using it for about 10 years. I came here and I saw Tufoil here. So it was based on 10 years experience of my own. We use it on the angle drive they use to turn the pumps to discharged the cargo. It works! It works! |

On the Morgan, I had to put Tufoil to one of my reduction gears and it dropped about 5º instantaneously. We were having an overheating problem. After we pinned the boat, changed the flow of water over the keel coolers. The temperature rose in our reduction gears. Put Tufoil in. Dropped 5° right off the bat. |
30 sec. |
We've been using Tufoil for about 10 to 15 years. Every oil change, we add between 10 to 12%. We change the oil about every 1,000 hours. The oil is always yellow, like new oil. Even the temperature is holding much better from my experience with the Tufoil. |
20 sec. |
Actually, we started using Tufoil a few months ago on the reduction gears and we could see already, a drop of a few degrees on the temperature of the oil. Less friction. Tufoil works. There's no question about that! |

A lot of people have problems with turbos with engines like this. We never have problems with turbos. So, where ever the Tufoil is, it's working. |
