Oil right!

Oil right! the clouds of black smoke from the tailpipe of a bus may become an old story if a recent British invention, an oil recycler, proves its efficacy. The recycler can produce oil savings of at least 600 per cent as well as attain 50 per cent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions from vehicles running on diesel, says its inventor Hassan Assali, the managing director of Pinmore Ltd, uk. Significantly, the company has recently entered into a tie-up with an undis closed "major automotive manufacturer -cum-distributor in India' to sell its electronic oil recycler, a supplementary filtration device.

The recycler costs around us $280. Mounted near the vehicle's engine, it increases the active life of the lubricant (the oil that smoothens engine movements) and, more importantly, cuts down on particulate emissions
