From page 2 :

Quote:
In the version designed to replace conventional gasoline engines, the diesel fuel is replaced with gasoline that's mixed with an additive to make it more reactive, improving ignition of the fuel. Instead of having two fuel tanks, the car needs only one gasoline tank and a small reservoir the size of a window-washing-fluid bottle to hold the additive. Ordinary gas is injected by the port injector, and gas mixed with the additive is injected directly into the chamber. The result is an engine that's 45 percent efficient, compared to about 30 percent efficient for conventional gasoline engines.
What would the additive be?
