Changing the Course of the World's Fuel Future

Each morning, Alex Conger rises from bed at 5am, climbs the stairs to his home office, and fires up his computer.  Several monitors flicker to life and almost immediately chat windows begin to appear on one of the monitors.  A dealer from the Philippines occupies one window while a customer in Paraguay occupies another.  Soon, the phone begins to ring and it’s only 5:15am.  

A little over two years ago, while running his very successful web design company, Alex, a computer and electrical engineering genius, began to conjure up a product that would help the United States and other world countries kick the oil habit, which is crucial to the future of the global environment, while also helping the U.S. break away from Middle Eastern and Venezuelan oil supplies. The product that was born from this brainstorm was to become a hit not only in the U.S., but 39 other countries around the world.  The idea was simple, the product revolutionary. The outcome is on its way to changing the world’s fuel market.  

Alex wanted to make it possible, and easy, for any fuel-injected vehicle to run on either normal auto gas or 85% Ethanol, a fuel produced from the fermentation of corn or sugar cane.  The benefits are huge: ethanol is cheaper than auto gas, the U.S. grows plenty of corn to produce the ethanol, the refineries employ thousands of people, and ethanol burns 50% cleaner that normal auto gas.  An all around win-win situation the government should be jumping all over, right?  Think again.    

Giant oil corporations, such as Exxon-Mobile, are obviously against producing such a product, but why wouldn’t they be when they just broke the largest quarterly profit record ever at over 14 billion dollars?  The current president of the United States is also pro-oil, so there hasn’t been much of a move in the government to promote ethanol or any other U.S. based, clean energy sources.  U.S. car manufacturers like Ford and GM have put down alternative fuel sources, making it difficult to promote such a product with U.S. auto makers.  That, coupled with fuel-injected engines being programmed to run on normal auto gas, complicates the entire situation.   

The product Alex and his two business partners, Gary Ackaret (Chairman of the Board) and Curtis Lacy (President of sales and marketing), produce, known as the Fuel Flex Conversion Kit, is an electronic unit that allows your car’s fuel-injected engine to run on auto gas or 85% Ethanol fuel known as E85.  The Fuel Flex Unit is composed of a small “brain” box that fits easily onto your car battery (if enclosed in a plastic box) or other solid object under the hood of your car, and an electronic harness that plugs into each fuel-injector site.  The brain simply tells your engine that the E85 is just fine to run on, and adjusts the necessary components automatically.  You can install the unit yourself in under 20 minutes, or have a local dealer install it for you.  The advantage?  Let’s say that you pull up to a gas station that offers both types of fuel, and you have the Fuel Flex Unit installed on your car, and you notice the E85 fuel is running 30 cents to a dollar cheaper per gallon.  You do the math.  Not only did you do less damage on your pocketbook, but your engine is now emitting 50% less emissions than if you filled your car with normal auto gas.  You also just filled your car with a fuel produced by your own country, and not a dime ended up in a country where Western ideals are normally spit upon.

Cars are not the only vehicles that are able to run on E85.  Two of the first items Alex upgraded to the E85 Fuel Flex Unit were his Hummers.  Alex called Hummer’s U.S. manufacturer and was promptly told it wouldn’t work.  ‘IT WON’T WORK’ doesn’t fly with Alex Conger.  He figured it out, installed the unit, and both are running strong two years later.  He states the Fuel Flex Unit will work on any manufacturer’s fuel-injected cars and trucks, on boats (including jet boats), and on aircraft.  

During the first two years of business, Gary and Alex didn’t take a dime out of the company.  Units were put together on a table in Alex’s office and all profits were reinvested into research and design to produce the best possible product.  Less than three years later, the Fuel Flex Unit is being used by governments and citizens around the world; colleges and universities invite Alex and his company representatives to speak to their automotive and engineering classes. The product is now in mass production.  The company, Fuel Flex International, has seen a 2340% (not a typo!) growth rate in less than a year, with over two million dollars generated in the first 7 months of this year.  They are currently sending out over 2000 units a month globally! 

  Many governments around the world are leading the way for environmental change and converting governmental vehicles to alternative energy resources such as E85, while also encouraging their citizens to make the change to alternative means of transportation and fuels.  Sadly, the U.S. government is two years behind in the upgrade plan President Clinton signed to use cleaner, more fuel efficient government vehicles.  However, we as U.S. citizens, have the opportunity to lead the way for our own government!  We owe it to the environment to explore Alex’s revolutionary product.
