Subject:	Minutes Of The July 30, 2004 Mack Surveillance Panel Conference Call
Attendance: PerkinElmer - Jim Moritz, Joe Franklin; SwRI - Jim Wells; Mack/Volvo - Greg Shank; Afton - Charlie Passut; Oronite - Wim van Dam, Jim Rutherford; Infineum - Jim Gutzwiller; Lubrizol - Jim Matasic; TMC - Jeff Clark; ExxonMobil - Steve Kennedy; TEI - Ron Buck.

Tests on Unflashed Conrod and Main Bearings:
Jeff reviewed the three tests, data attached. The EOT lead results were 27, 9, and 7. A cursory review of the operational data shows some differences between the labs for power, egr pre-venturi temp, and bloby. There are also some difference in FE levels. The test that produced the 27 also had elevated NA levels (>700, not shown in data file) that correspond with an egr cooler replacement and some cooling system maintanance. The test that produced the 7 failed severe on top ring weight loss. Wim suggested that a group be formed and schedule a meeting ASAP to examine all experimental bearing tests that have been run to date. Wim also requested that venturi voltage be reported to the TMC. A meeting was set for Aug. 18 (all day) in San Antonio. At least on lab is out of bearings. Some T-9 kits may remain. Greg will pursue possible re-distribution off-line. Realizing that we may need to find other options, the panel asked Jim Rutherford to examine bearing weight loss as a replacement parameter, and delta oxidation as a predictive parameter.

Ultra Low Sulfur T-10:
European entities have requested a way of having a recognized T-10 test on ULSD fuel (specification attached). An annex (T-10 ULSD) will be added to the procedure via information letter (Shank, Kennedy; carried 7-1-2). The annex will be distributed to the Surveillance Panel for email ballot and then balloted to Sub B.
