Hi Baz

Looks like another device to seperate people from money.
They don't appear to actually tell you what it does, possibly because it doesn't and the research also appears to be peoples opinions not your actual scientific research. You know where the tests are standardised the users don't know which vehicles actually have the product fitted etc. and the results are verified by indipendant researchers.

A lot of gizmos work because people drive differently after they have paid out hard earned to have then fitted. The right foot is still the controlling influence and as we know anyone can change teir fuel economy by 15-20% just by changing the way we drive.

imho its not worth wasting time on things like this.

regards

A

Just looking at other options, increasing HP and so on ours is the OHV engine only 119KW compared to the OHC of 139KW, otherwise new vehicle with more power.

Regardless Baz , I cant see you gaining HUGE improvements with these . . .

I recall someone saying one time . . . Power costs . . . you dont get nuffin for nuffin . . .

Bigger Exhaust . . . free flowing (made a BIG difference to my V6 Pajero) , puter chip . . .

Ditch it and buy something decent ;)

Hi Baz

I used one on a 1980 model mits L300 van. Used it according to instructions, eg 2 tanks of super first to condition the unit, than straight unleaded fuel.

Results.......no pinging
..................better fuel economy
..................cheaper fuel to buy

did about 5000miles with the unit in place and no harm to motor.

hope this helps. no exp with it fitted to diesel though.

Regards

Bob

Sounds like "Snake Oil" to me.

Engineering principles are reliable, I didn't see any on their site.
