Looks like you might all have to start thinking that anybody with the first name of "Bill" needs to be steered clear of, lest they try to entice you with their charms and tall stories...hahahaha

The Fitch arrived on Monday in good shape and was fitted to the motor in about 20 minutes. The hardest part was finding somewhere to put it. In the end I had to remove the Morisons Debug unit and mount the Fitch on the top of the inlet manifold just above the fuel pump. The other time consuming part was that the existing hose from the filter to the pump was not long enough to reach up to the top of the Fitch, so I had to contort myself to get to the bottom hose clamp on the pump, to remove the existing hose and fit a longer bit from it to the top of the Fitch. The other hose goes from the outlet side of the filter, to the bottom of the Fitch. Easy enough.

Now, I know you're not gunna believe me, but I swear that the bloody thing runs smoother, and starts easier now than it did before. With my dual battery set-up, I can isolate the 2nd battery whenever I like and i usually start it up each morning just using the main battery. If it's a cold morning, I switch on the 2nd battery and it starts MUCH easier with the 2 batteries in parralel. Well, since fitting the Fitch, the starter motor fires the donk up (with only the main battery "ON"), just like it does with the 2 batteries linked.....IE: less cranking time.

Idle seems a bit smoother and no black smoke on start up....(note: with my 3" exhaust having the tail pipe exiting out the side, behind the rear tyre, I can see the exhaust in the passenger's side mirror).

Too early to tell yet as to whether the mileage is gunna improve......we'll have to wait and see.

So far so good.....I'm impressed. Don't forget, I've got reason to say these things just to make myself feel better for shelling out the buck$, as I know I can get a refund if I don't like the result after 90 days or so.

Cheers

I just wish somebody would cut one in half and tell us all what's inside.

Personally, I reckon it's highly solidified snake oil - the same stuff as in Brockie's "Energy Polariser". Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

I am as always , a bit confused.

I don't have a fitch or any other brand of fuel catalyst, but I do have a catalytic converter on a vehicle I own.
Apparently they work on similar principle ( have a look at the definition of a catalyst )

I have seen fuel catalysts as I have said in a previouse post or reply ( sorry too lazy to a search tonight )

So as they have no moving parts, that most of us can understand, how can we tell if they are working or not?

I reckon it would be nice if they had a "TEST" button on them to reasure us.

(Gee I hope my catalytic converter is still working, might have to book it in to an authorised dealership next week and get it checked. Better half might start worrying otherwise!)

I KNOW my catalytic converter works. (other wise I would have to buy a new one, wouldn't I )
