ASNU – The Story So Far. For those who I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, may I please introduce myself. My name is Philip Ellisdon, and I am the proud owner of the ASNU business. I would like to explain about how and how ASNU started, my involvement in the organisation and how I ended up owning the company. Recognising the need. 2006 ASNU was developed back in the early Eighties by Alan Skovron, who at the time owned his own fuel injection workshop in Sydney and was regarded as one of the leading fuel injection specialists in Australia. In the 1980’s, the Australian petrol engine vehicle market, percentage wise, had more fuel injected vehicles than most other major counties. With the fuel being of lead based production and by today’s standards, of poor quality, the petrol injector valves began to foul up and clog, restricting the fuel flow and causing poor fuel atomisation. This poor injector performance affected the engines performance, so more and more companies started to produce chemical cleaning system, either fluid you add to the fuel in the tank or a pressure system that fitted into the fuel system. Alan had tried the various chemical cleaning systems, with differing results, but none able to return the injectors to 100% to their original condition. Now we are a long way down the road and 2006 has seen the demand grow in many areas, Motorsport in particular has woken up to the advantages ASNU can offer. Marine and Motorcycle engineers have also seen the need for ASNU, Yamaha and Mercury are now using ASNU. Finding the solution. Faced with this problem, Alan experimented with cleaning injectors using ultrasonic's. To test his results, he built a flow bench so that he could see the spray patterns and measure the flow rates. Further experiment using ultrasonic's followed until Alan was able to get the injectors performing as if the were as good "AS NEW" (ASNU). With the prototype ASNU, Alan started to solve problems on fuel-injected engines that other workshops and other equipment could not resolve. As word spread, Alan started to receive enquiries from other garages to build an ASNU system for them. With the assistance of a marketing genius, elder brother Mike, the Skovron brothers set about building and marketing the ASNU machine. Market potential. Realising the marketing potential of this equipment, they developed a worldwide marketing programme for ASNU. After securing Patens on the cleaning process Alan had developed, the brothers travelled the world demonstrating and presenting ASNU. It has been my pleasure to work with ASNU and the Skovron families since 1989 when I first met Mike and Alan and saw the ASNU in action. During this time, I have been fortunate enough to gain a vast amount of knowledge and expertise in the Petrol Injector Diagnostics market, from both Mike and, until his untimely death in 1997, the inventor of ASNU, Mike's brother Alan. Mike and Alan had the foresight and the talent that has made ASNU what it is today, the market leader in Injector Diagnostics. We have developed ASNU's potential since taking the helm, the input by the Skovron brothers will always be remembered and respected, as long as there is ASNU. ASNU in Europe. 2006 In Europe, I started ASNU in the UK in 1990 and developed the European market from there. In 1991, I introduced the ASNU programme to Lucas in Europe. Lucas took a three-year option to distribute ASNU in Europe, this contract ended in 1997. In 1998, ASNU received official worldwide approval from Robert Bosch GmbH for use in their Bosch Service Workshops. Bosch distributes ASNU in various countries.
