Green Star Reduces Fuel Consumption on Greek Maritime Ship

Today Green Star
Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GSPI) announced that it has received the final
report on a fuel savings test conducted on a Greek shipping vessel.
The tests were conducted using Green Star's Diesel Fuel Energizer (DFE)
added to fuel tanks. Tests were performed on two Caterpillar Ship Engines
Model 3412 (rated at 720 H.P. each) and also on two Caterpillar Generator
Sets Model 3306 (rated 240 H.P. each). The test data indicates the shipping
vessel reduced fuel consumption by an average of twelve percent (12%). The
engines also showed decreased smoke emissions to a point where smoke was no
longer visible. Also noted was a reduction of engine noise and increased
power and performance. For further information on the TVT Product Line
please see website http://www.GreenStarTVT.com.
Mr. Panos Doukakis, a well known international investor, arranged for the
test and stated that based on these results he is now arranging for a much
larger scope of tests on several more vessels. Mr. Doukakis further stated
that the TVT product line could be a tremendous opportunity for the
Shipping Industry to reduce their emissions, smoke and fuel consumption.
By cutting down petroleum use, the Shipping Industry could also reduce its
carbon footprint (its CO2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions), which may qualify
for international carbon credits that were approved at the 2009 United
Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen attended by President
Barack Obama. Mr. Doukakis concluded that this could represent billions in
savings for the Maritime Industry. For further information on Green Star

Mr. Joseph LaStella, President of Green Star Products, stated, "The success
of the maritime test data represents a significant opportunity for our
Company." Mr. LaStella further stated, "We cannot expect these results on
all different types of engines used for all different industries. In the
past, we have had significant positive test results on many types of
engines. However, we must clearly identify the fact that numerous test
variables in conjunction with engine designs, different testing protocols
(also called procedures, programs, etc.) used throughout the world and
other parameters (including weather conditions) can vary results from test
to test.
"Just consider engine testing protocols: There are many different types of
testing procedures and protocols used throughout the world. There are
testing programs that evaluate the engines at set points (called modes) in
a load testing cycle without accounting for acceleration periods
encountered in normal engine operation. Tests may have 8-mode or as many as
13-mode evaluation points and even these tests have set points which can
differ between test protocols used by the industry.
"There are also other test protocols, which are called chassis-dyno tests,
where the entire vehicle (not only the engine) is tested by running on a
dyno with the vehicle driven by a person reacting to a computer screen
which introduces significant variables due to different driver
capabilities.
"The enormous variety of testing protocols used throughout the world makes
it almost impossible to compare results accurately from one nation to
another or even from one set of standards to another.
"Furthermore, the engines themselves have changed throughout the years.
Injections systems have changed dramatically, increasing pressures from as
low as 200 psi to as high as 30,000 psi in new engines, which add another
level of complexity to testing variables. And also new engines that are run
by computer can now introduce computer errors to the operating system of
engines and vehicles.
"Green Star's TVT fuel additive and engine oil additive tend to reduce
friction and wear on the engine while increasing the burning efficiency in
the combustion chamber. TVT products, by reducing friction and improving
efficiency, reduce operating parameters such as turbo-charge temperature,
exhaust temperatures and pressures. However, in certain tests, the computer
system interpreted the change in these parameters and adjusted engine
operating parameters inaccurately.
"In the past, under real field conditions, the majority of engines tested
have responded very positively to the TVT products. However, in view of
some of the pitfalls outlined above, we suggest that each company test
their engines with Green Star's TVT products to see benefits under real
field conditions.
"In conclusion, we are happy to announce that the Greek ship test was a
complete success, and will go forward with further testing on larger
vessels. Green Star is in the process of testing its entire product line in
several countries around the world. The testing includes cutting oils for
machine shops, drilling compounds for oil well drilling, and many other
applications. We expect our lubrication division to significantly increase
its sales during 2010."
