My experience with QMI is only one engine Kawasaki Man 52/55 12 cyl.
I added QMI after a complete overhaul off main engine in January 2001

Before we added QMI the engine was running good, with only 4 hours off hire last year

So then way spend all this money for QMI.

I heard from sister Vessel Sea Pride and had read a report from Navigare that
this is a well known product that will reduce friction in engine, and with less friction
better performance, less fuel and oil consumption.

What did I experience

My experience after only four month running is.

I. Less oil consumption
2. Less fuel consumption
3. Sound off engine when is running is different, the hard knocking is gone, lot is due to
reduced of friction in engine.
4. Lub. oil purifier is running longer intervals without cleaning, also oil auto filter is back
flushing only once an hour, before we had more than 100 times a day.
5. Pressure in crankcase is dropped due to better sealing between cylinder liner and piston rings.
6. Overhauling of exhaust valves, inlet valves, and fuel injectors; we have longer periods
without overhauling.
7. Exhaust temperature went down from a average 450 to 380C this is with seawater
temp 20C and air temp. on 25C. in extreme hot areas with sea water up to 32C temp
raise up to a average of 400C.

When we did the main engine overhaul in Singapore September 1999 average in oil
consumption until next overhaul in January 2001 was 397 liter a day

My average lub. oil consumption to day 4 months amounts is only 116 liter a day.
If this continue I will save a lot of money on lub. oil budget.

Fuel Oil consumption has gone down with 0,5 ton a day and we have better combustion,
cleaner exhaust gases.

I can recommend QMI especially on medium Speed engine.

Today I am not the only one in Barber Ship Management using QMI,
we will also do test on another system, especially on a big hydraulic systems and on auxiliary
engines.

Superintendent

Dear Sirs:

The gas leak from both turbo chargers exhaust pipe had been reduced after further
bolts retightening. In Lyttelton B-bank side tightening was repeated after observing
minute gas leaks which again started to discolor already painted surface. Now there
is still very small gas leak coming out from exhaust pipe protective shield at
B-bank. It must be coming from other place which we shall locate and again
retightening next port.

Lube oil consumption is recorded and as you may see in attached monthly record
sheet the engine is presently consuming amazingly less oil, We assumed the sealing
effect between piston rings and new honed liners may have contributed much to
prevent oil from reaching into the burning chamber.
But as we wonder to look back on previous repairs, honing of liners has become
part of every major overhaul of this engine before, And with those repairs there has
been no history of remarkable change of consumption.
In my opinion another contributory factor to bring less oil consumption this time
might be the result of the introduction of QMI catalyst in the system oil. As we
noticed our system oil now is much cleaner as revealed by less frequency of lube oil
filter back flushing. Before we have more than a hundred back flushing being
automatically initiated per day as registered in our meters. Now we got only 24
times. This means system oil is clean due to good sealing effect of piston rings and
cylinder liner.

Enclosed herewith 2 files; FE3AE001.MOT before QMI and FE3AE002.MOT QMI after 25L added.
Measurements are taken on No.3 A/E After 2 results are compared, FE3AE002.MOT file result found
decreased Exh. temp., increase of power, Pmax, Pcomp, and Pi. L.O. consump. will be low.
Therefore, we observed this QMI additive found to be very effective.

FROM: M.V.HEDDA SUBJECT: QMI DATE : 27-08-99

WE SEND YOU 3 FILES OF HLV DIAGRAMS, HA34 AE3. MOT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF AE 3 AT LOAD 340KW
BEFORE FILLING QMI AND WITH SUMP OIL UNCHANGED,
HA35AE3.MOT IS THE PERFORMANCE OF AE3 AFTER CHANGING SUMP OIL AND FILLING QMI AT SAME LOAD.
HA31AE1.MOT IS THE SECOND DIAGRAM FOR AE1 SINCE QMI HAS BEEN FILLED.
OUR SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT WITH AE1 WAS THE REDUCTION IN LUBE OIL CONSUMPTION.
NORMALLY WE HAVE TO FILL 20LTRS./DAY BEFORE QMI WAS FED,
NOW FOR 2 DAYS SUMP OIL IS NOT REDUCING AND CONSUMPTION IS NIL.

Good news about lube oil consumption. After running for seven days, lube oil consumption is 25 ltrs.
Before adding Qmi, our consumption is 25 ltrs in 2 days.
We will be ordering more QMI for the other Aux. engines.

The QMI treated Engines ( AE1 & AE3 ) have found reduction in lube oil consumption by 50% since the QMI has filled on 27-08-99, t
he total consumption for each Aux. Engine is 50 ltrs for 5 days (10 ltrs/day).
Before treated with QMI the lube oil consumption of each Aux. Engine is 20 ltrs/day.

Both readings was taken with the same normal max pitch

Exh.temp. was taken with touch termometer. Revolution taken with hand taco.

Treatment added to hydraulic system. No reading taken.

The machinery was treated as follow:
