There is a fuel management system that is eradicating particulate matter and toxic carcinogenic chemicals from exhaust emissions that has claimed to have caught the attention of some local operators.

Local resident Ian Creevey and distributor of the fuel management technology says the proof is in the installation.

“A number of operators in the local area that have taken advantage of this technology have noticed considerable changes in emissions, motor noise performance and fuel burn and the results are immediate,” he said.

Mr Creevey said it’s the health of the Great Barrier Reef that is his major concern.

“The toxic chemical exhaust emissions damage done to the environment over the years probably accounts for at least part of the problem with the decline in quality of water and its impact on the whole reef system and it’s inhabitants.  Legislation is being drawn up here as it is overseas to control these emissions in the future and police their toxic volume.

“By limiting the number of detrimental effects and practices that we expose the reef to daily, we will be able to still enjoy it in its entirety,” said Mr Creevey.
