technically sam, you're a laggard.
Most products have an acceptance curve - there's the innovators (the guys who make the stuff at home and have been doing it for years), then there's the early adopters (like me, who can see it all makes sense and there is no downside, even to my $12,000 engine on which my business relies), then there's the majority (who do it when everyone else is doing it), and then there's the laggards (who will be using up the dregs of the dinosaurs for a lot longer yet and continue to believe it is a "new concept").
You'll note that people are selling it in large quantities to big fleet operators - now do you think they will enjoy wrecking their $150,000 power plants?
You'll note that consumers can buy it at real retail outlets - at least in
Adelaide. Just remember how quickly consumers can litigate and how averse to being sued companies are, and remember that the fuel companies are liable for the fuel and not the car companies! Do you think they haven't done a little study of this question?
You asked how I knew it cleanses the engine/fuel system - because when you replace a fuel filter and clean out the housing for it, you can actually see the crap. I've seen it. It's not rocket science.
And yes - whilst not exactly selling it, I would love for everyone to use it, for the fuel suppliers to see a demand in the market, for the fuel retailers to dedicate bowsers and tanks to it, so that I can get it everywhere I go with the ease with which I get fossil bleep .
Ciao for now
