The Spanish trawling company Pesquera Rodriguez is fishing since 1940 and knows pretty well about fuel and engines. After 4 years of using Xbee diesel, the fleet superintendent comments:
“We have clearly observed the capacity of this product to:
    ¤ clean up the tank walls;
    ¤ maintain the engines in perfect conditions of work (as shown by the pictures of the main engine of the M/V Nuevo Virgen de Lodairo shot during the inspection in October 2011).
This having direct consequences:
    ¤ reduction  of the maintenance costs (injectors, filters, . . .);
    ¤ improvement of the energy efficiency (reduction of both fuel and luboil consumption).”
