Fuel Ox® is an EPA-registered combustion catalyst that gives diesel engines a more complete burn — documented fuel-efficiency gains of 5–10% and more in real fleet and mining trials. PFM Global (Pty) Ltd brings it to South African fleets, mines and farms.
Official distributor ofFuel Ox® With Combustion Catalyst
South African diesel reached record territory in 2026 — 50ppm sits at R28.76 a litre this month, even after June’s relief, and the levies that drove it up haven’t gone away. For farmers, mines and transporters, fuel is now one of the biggest line items on the books — often 30–40% of operating cost.
You can’t control the fuel price. You can control how much of every litre actually becomes work instead of soot. That’s what a combustion catalyst does — and at a treatment cost of roughly 1% of fuel spend, a documented 5–10% efficiency gain pays for itself many times over.
What 5% means at today’s prices
≈ R61 000
saved per long-haul truck, per year, on fuel alone (≈ 43 700 litres at R28/l)
≈ R1 400
saved on every 1 000 litres of stored farm or depot diesel
≈ 1%
of fuel spend — the cost of treatment. The rest is yours.
Diesel price: official June 2026 adjustment (50ppm R28.76/l). Savings illustrative at a conservative 5%; trials documented 5–12%+.
Most additives only clean or stabilise fuel. Fuel Ox® goes further: its patented combustion catalyst promotes a more complete, more efficient burn inside the engine.
Diesel is one of the biggest line items for any fleet, mine or farm. At today’s prices, even a conservative 5% fuel saving translates into hundreds of thousands of rand per year for a mid-sized fleet.
Add reduced soot, fewer DPF regenerations, cleaner injectors and longer engine life — and the additive pays for itself many times over.
A more complete burn improves fuel economy — documented field gains from 6% to over 30% depending on engine and duty cycle.
Cleaner combustion means less soot, smoke and particulate output — and dramatically fewer DPF regens.
Added lubricity and detergency protect injectors, pumps and fuel systems, reducing maintenance costs.
Stabilises stored diesel and inhibits bacterial growth in tanks — critical for backup generators and farm storage.
Better thermal efficiency delivers smoother, quieter running and improved engine response under load.
At a 1:10 000 treat rate the cost per litre treated is tiny — savings typically exceed cost many times over.

Not sure which product fits your operation? Talk to us — we’ll recommend the right treatment and dosage for your fuel volumes.
PFM Global is a South African registered company and the official distributor of Fuel Ox® products in the region. We work directly with Fuel Ox LLC in the United States — the manufacturer behind the Bell Labs-era combustion catalyst — and hold local stock for industrial supply.
We don’t ask anyone to take savings claims on faith. Our approach is simple: a supervised on-fleet trial on your own equipment, your own routes and your own fuel, measured against your baseline — the same protocol used in the Ghana and UK trials documented on this page. If the numbers don’t hold on your fleet, you don’t buy.
Independent lab reports, regulatory registrations and compliance certificates — the paperwork your engineers and procurement team will ask for.
Tell us about your operation — fleet size, monthly fuel volume, equipment type — and we’ll come back with a recommendation and pricing.
