Fitch fuel saving device

One can only try these things for themselves for sure.

That way you'll KNOW. FOR SURE.

Keep us posted.

But keep to ths facts.

how ya going ? got try it hay. like they say ya gotta be in it to win it .

Giday,
Not too sure what a 'fitch' gismo was, I did a google. I went to 'Tonys' web page, veeerrry informative,a really good read!!It,s hard to know if any of them really work..Good luck.

there is another fuel device called fuel star
http://www.aapsa.com.au/fuelstar.htm

no problems here if you give it a good go and report your findings. Big diference between that and some of the crap we get on here personally i think fuel saving is right up there with weight lass without exercise, free sex just phone 1900 fxxx me and the garanteed exercise equipment just use it for 30sec a day. In other words it preys on what people want most.but hey prove me wrong....................

Two old sayings come to mind ……..

“There’s one born every minute”
and
“A fool and his money are easily parted”.

F4 Phantom,

Thanks for your honesty and please report your result as to fuel econ improvement. I'm a sceptic but listen to all angles,particularly people who actually have paid for a product. Look forward to your report.

All the best

Greg

F4Phantom---YOU WILL be pleasently SURPRISED AS was I

Only wasy to really tell is to have a double-blind test, where not only the recipients, but also the testers do not know who has one installed. Manufacturer supplies 100 "mystery" (50 duds, 50 real units) versions to a group of testers who randomly allocate the units to a group of ppl (believing they have recieved a real unit). Results go to the testers who provide the results back to the manufacturer for independant correllation and verification.

Only then will I believe...............

The comments by GaryInOz(Vic) and Collyn R (WA) have raised good points.
Formy due diligence on the Fitch fuel catalyst I found that unlike, possibly most of all the other claimed fuel savers out in the market place the Fitch solution seems to have some unique factors about the catalyst product including who made it and the R+D that has been done. This is some of what I found.
1.In AUG 1995 EPA of the USA issued what was then the first and probably since the only certification certificate to a US manufacturer of pre-combustion fuel catalysts. The certificate supplied to Advanced Power Systems International included the following statement "As a result of this certification an automotive dealer may not deny warranty coverage for a vehicle based on the presence of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst." This EPA approval came after a lot of EPA specified investigative research was done by over 20 independent EPA nominated testing facilities and laboratories.
2. After extensive engine dyno testing on a 7.3Litre Mercruiser 270HP diesel MARINE CORPORATION OF AMERICA issued a letter dated 23March 1994 by its then President that included the following " You can see that the Fitch had significant results, Horsepower increased by 2HP, Fuel Flow decreased by 1.7GPH (10% 19.1 -> 17.4), Firing pressure increased by 29psi, Exhaust Temp decreased by 5 DegF. In summary, it is our conclusion that more complete combustion occured inside the chamber".
3. Here we have power increases and improvements in economy together, how come? Possibly the answer to this may lie with those that make up the management of APSI and their method of approaching how to improve the quality of fuel for better energy extraction during combustion process in existing engines. Included among the highly qualified team are Dr A Berlin-contributing developer of the exhaust catalytic convertor and W.Haboush -40 years fuel systems designer with Ford & GM. It would appear that they did their developing work to create a polymetal non-leaching catalyst by using the benefits of scientific equipment like gas chromatograhy, mass spectrometric detection to discover which mix of metals would raise the octane or cetane levels of fuel in such a way so as to provide cost effective outcomes for all kinds of fuel being used in mechanically sound engines.
4. Would not it seem logical that as ASPI was directed by" one of the Top 100 private sector Transportation Professionals of the 20th century" to follow a careful systematic approach to properly research and develop an engine efficiency enhancer, which is practical, safe and effective for use with existing engines?

I have had a Fitch fuel device in two Patrols. A 4.5 petrol and now a 4.2 diesel. In the petrol I thought I was getting better economy, but could not substantiate it. Ended up just "feeling" that I was ahead. However with the diesel I have just been able to perform a pretty good check. Two identical Patrols went across the Simpson. One slightly heavier than the other. The lighter Patrol used 108 litres of diesel from Mt Dare to Birdsville, while the heavier one used 110 litres. To me it means that the fuel catalyst is not performing as it is claimed. If I was to go back to the distributor with this story, he would probably tell me that it needs an extra canister in the fuel tank. Well that is something I would only do if he gave me one on trial. Hope this helps.

F4Phantom,
I have only bought the one - transferred over from the petrol to the diesel.
I have noticed that sometimes the engine keeps chugging just slightly after I turn the ignition switch off - but doesn't happen all the time. (I have a brand new vehicle by the way).
I don't have the capsules either, but the distributer has already suggested that I needed a boost by adding one or two into the tank!! As I said before, I would love to do that if he gave me "one or two to try"
