Fitch Fuel Catalyst

Thanks Bonz......saved me from saying the same thing.

However, far be it from me to denigrate a product which others have _reportedly_ had success with. My fuel economy did not change to any discernable extent either way.....(one tank-full I got slightly better economy; next I'd get slightly worse etc). It's a bit like the Hi-clone device; I've not tried it, but I am aware some people have and reckon they're snake-oil, whilst others swear they have improved their economy.

The good thing is that they offer a money-back guarantee; so you really can't too far wrong by fitting one and trialling it for yourself. In fact i think they have a better deal at the moment; 120% money-back guarantee.

Good luck

I just did a search of the archives (should have done it before posting) oh what a contradiction in opinions. Think I will put this one to bed and forget it.

Cheers

I think Truckster listed either Fitch or Hi-Clone as a joke in friday funnies a few weeks ago, about sums it up.......

Hey Bushpig, take a look at this link. Fuel Saving - A Professional Engineer's View

I think it says it all :-)

G'Day John,

A very interesting read indeed! As you say, "I think it says it all" too! ;-) haha!

Cheers, Scoey!

Wow

I certainly stired things up. Sorry guys. But must do the research before parting with moola.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

This Is from BILLS,
What a topic right my alley, As you are all aware I have a 2005 Gxl diesel turbo cruiser with a fitch F300 fitted at purchase,and no idea of fuel figures of this vehicle with out fitch fitted,so here I place my findings after a trip to Brisbane and back.
Filled to the brim at Shellharbour NSW drove to Brisbane via New England Hiway,with a couple of detours distance up 1,250ks fuel used 135ltrs
Drove around Brisbane city and area 1029ks fuel used 117lrs
Return trip to Shellharbour 1096.4ks fuel used 110.4
And I state filled to the brim each time so no room for error.
Now for those who visited the Brisbane show Bruce in attendance 0404473089 ownes a 2005 Nissan Patrol to which he fitted a F300 and thus saves $34 a week and saves $1768 each year.
Also was listed on this site as a news release savings acheived by Vince with his 2003 V/8 petrol cruiser tested over a 12month period2.5ltrs each 100ks driven.

Ans a special thank you to explor oz members met at the show thank you for your kind remarks.

BILLS

So, based on the claim of 10-15% savings, Bruce's weekly fuel bill is between $230 and $340 or thereabouts.

Jeez, he must travel some km's :-)

Poetic Bruce just poetic.

I have to ask.... Is it one of yours or did you borrow it from a mate?

Either way may I suggest more roughage in your respective diets.
This site has most things but thankfully it does not have smellaweb as yet.

Hey Bruce,

Is that really from a Bull?....Looks kinda female to me:-)

Still, the picture states the obvious.

Bruce....your a bad bad bad bad boy....how did you get that past the moderator without beep through it????
ROFLMAO

whats the cow pattie for truckie....you gunna toss it at someone?

Thanks pprass

Just the info I was looking for.
Cheers

guess you'll be asking for two lotsa money back!

Having this unit fitted two patrols?? When did you have them fitted ,and by whom and who was the distributor you spoke to?? AS this company stands behind its product 100% and I am the technical advisor for FITCH in australia and have been for five years, how come I know nothing of your delemer with our product??????.
After fitting in excess of 2,000 of these units to cars trucks boats and other machinery and had FOUR units returned because of faults with owners engines,Dont tell me it is snake oil.I had my injector pump dismantled on my 80 srs for examination by a diesel expert who stated that( some one has wound your fuel mixture screw out to lean very lean in fact and this vehicle should have been hard to start and loss of power,and neither was the case). On the second pump some two years later from another 80ser comment made was ( this pump also as was other, Cleaner than clean internals in fact cleaner than new) going on to state that we must be using a fuel unknown to others. SO dont think that this product is just about fuel savings emission controls are very high on its ability list of benifits as is engine life extension.

This writted by BILLS not Don

Has the "BillS (NSW)" account been deleted??? I wonder why that could be????

It really isn't that difficult to log into your own account is it??? Or have David and Michelle banned that account without being able to ban the person?

Nice to see another "ringing endorsement (NOT!!!)" of your product here by a truely independant tester, not a second/third hand account as reprted by the distributor. Does the word "biased", or the phrase "conflict of interest" mean ANYTHING to you???.

If your customers are happy customers let them post their stories here. Oh, sorry, they have...................

I think Bruce (Truckster) summed it up so succinctly......................

Note that Don makes sure people know it aint him that wrote it!!!!!! Distancing himself as much as he can.

Also note that no message in the last reply here with the real world example of it not working ?

".....how come I know nothing of your delemer with our product??????. "

I know you must deal with hundreds of people, but you should be aware. This may help to remind you - Terry Wallace fitted it. I even went to a larger unit on your recommendation.

How do you get "cleaner than new"? I guess the pumps come out of the factory dirty....

That kinda reminds me of the real estate agents marketing 30 year old newly renovated houses as "better than new" (Cough, cough).

Sorry, I just had to make the point.

PPRASS, Had you gone to a mechanic that knows something about this product you would have had satisfaction in your connection . Steve at Seaford so keep on WASTING OUR fuel.

BILLS

"Steve at Seaford.........."

Ok - I'll give him a try. Don't see why he should be any better than Terry - after all it is very straight forward and simple to connect the catalyst.

I'll let you know how I go.

Hey BILL S - what's going on. Just went to your website to look for a fitter named "Steve at Seaford", but there is no one there by that name. There are just two fitters in Melbourne - one in Lynbrook and the other in Ringwood. Has Steve pulled out?

PPRASS, Yes mate he has had enough of people who would not fix their cars problems to enable fitch to function correctly. And after being in the trade for 25years I realise that there are mechanics and there are mechanics,
I put five apprentices through my workshop in my time four are running their own business and all passed but I would not feed ONE of them as a mechanic.
So I will repeat there are mechanics and there are mechanics. But steve will check yours out as a service to me Steve Gibson Auto 0397825554 I have witnessed Steves work and he IS a mechanic first class,happy motoring.

REgards BILLS

Maybe Steve in Seaford has had enough of products that don't live up to their hype and are giving HIM a bad reputation?.....

How can you recommend someone at 13:52, and not know that he was no longer peddling your products at 16:06??????? There's someone that really knows his resellers.

delemer????? writted???? me thinks one five year technical adviser would/should have had a better command and spelling ability of our native tongue...

Hey BillS Im still waiting ,,,,,,,waiting ,,,,,,,waiting ,,,,,BillS when are you finally going to admit that you are a liar and a conmerchant ???

HI alloyc/t, a case for deformation of charactor here i feel????? I allways thought this was a genuine forum for discussion. Say nothing until you know what you say.

REgards BILLS

Deformation. That's what you get if you take your poorly built trailer off-road isn't it?

Still waiting with bated breath for those unbiased NRMA and RACV reports folks :-)

I could not have put it better Truckster. Very clever.

Bill,

Here are some of your memorable quotes:

"The NRMA ans AAA are now in the process of doing just that,but by the time they prove me right you guys are the losers as if you had believed me the first time you would be streets ahead by now." - Bill S (PostID: 26836)

"Tests were arranged at Central QLD university,contracts were nearly written all agreed to,then their DYNO broke down and they had no funding to repair." - Bill S (PostID: 32762)

"TO ALL debaters,, Fitch Fuel Catalyst does not remove anything from the fuel purely alters the structure of it to keep it FRESH (no algie growth in diesel) maintains octain rating of petrol keeps it FRESH." - Bill S (PostID: 32762)

I think it's time you put up or shut up - either provide the scientific tests that allowed you to make these claims in the first place, or just pipe down.

I might start carrying a lucky brick in the back of my landcruiser. If fuel consumption improves, I'll shout from the roof tops it must have been the brick. If it is worse, it must have been a head wind, or something more sinister. I'll then start marketing it - different size bricks for different sized tyres. I'll get people to spend $500 on each brick, then get them to tell everyone how good they are. They won't say they were had or anything, because they spent enough to make them look silly if there were no savings. I'll make outrageous claims, and never quite prove them right or wrong. I'll call my brick....a FLETCH!!!

LOL....Chump

Hey BillS ,anytime you wish to sue for "deformation of character" go right ahead ,,,Im still waiting,,, waiting , the word is defamation ,not deformation ,and you and yours could never win as you would have to prove in court that your fitch actually does work ,,, you are a liar and a conman ,sue me !!!!

"I put five apprentices through my workshop in my time four are running their own business and all passed but I would not feed ONE of them as a mechanic."

you must be a great inspiration and teacher if you have failed 5 times to turn out a decent mechanic or did they voice a negative opinion about the fitch crapalyst

"I put five apprentices through my workshop in my time four are running their own business and all passed but I would not feed ONE of them as a mechanic."

That's a really sad indictment of the business they were trained in, and the standard of training they must have received during their apprenticeship. A 100% failure rate at turning out a "decent tradesman" would give me great reservations about dealing in any way with that business...

A golden rule when going for a job: Never bag your employer. I think it applies equally to employers bagging employees lest it backfire like this....

WellWell some are smarter than others?? Five apprentices Four I would Employ if I had a Business and pay top dollar for, ONE I would Not. Hope that straightens that remark up for all to ponder.

ALLOYc/t, Sorry buddy I do think you have, by your remarks put yourself in a legal corner,you should have done your homework before calling me a LIAR..

BILLS

How about we save this thread for tomorrow and call it "FITCHES FRIDAY FUNNIES"

Not enough bandwidth or storage capacity in Australia for that....

Money back at even 120% ,,trouble is the "fine" print , return must be within 90days ect ect ,, fine print also states that no fuel saving before X amount of fuel used ect ect ,works out that by the time you could possibly use the fuel and follow all instructions the 90 days are looooong gone.

I defy you to prove this.

Don't just keep telling us. Prove it.

And make sure you tell us about the return journey, when you weren't travelling at 80km/h, and got 15l/100km.....

And for the record - I have achieved 10L/100km in my 98 105 Series Landcruiser. It was over about 800km. I don't have a Fitch. I do have my narrow tyres inflated fairly high. I don't drive hard. I don't have a roof rack on.

I am not trying to sell anyone anything, so before you tell me to prove it - I don't have to. You do, as you have a vested interest. I think people are starting to realise salesmen can say what they want - it means nothing without cold hard facts.

Chump

Hey BILLS leave me out of this. I stopped caring about 958 posts ago.

Garry INOz, Agree its Time. But one more comment two bodys were mentioned in the iminent testing they are NRMA &AAA nobody else was mentioned.

Regards BILLS

John,

Contrary to popular belief, it is the purple bricks that are the best, and I have both Dyno tests from customers (who are not game to list their results here), and NRMA's assurance that one day soon they will be testing the unit.

We did try to get them tested at our local high school, but the Extra Special Testing Machine (ESTM) broke only moment before completion....

For optimum results, I recommend 2 bricks - one tied to the rear bumper with EXACTLY 5 meters of chain, and the other sitting on the front dash. Purple is best for both of these units for a 98 model 105 Series Landcruiser, but different colours may suit different vehicles.

Hmmm - I wonder if I can see an eBay auction coming up soon....lol

Cheers

Chump

...should give it a go on Ebay...

As long as it uses

Graviometric
Underlying
Lenticular
Levitating
Independanly
Bolstered
Latent
Electrophoreisis

technology. Perhaps you could use an acronym of that mouthful ;-)

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think I'd probably need 3 of those purple bricks for my Patrol, cos it weighs a bit more than most. I do hope they are not more than $1,000- each as my budget is a bit tight at the moment. Could I possibly have a discount for bulk purchase....pretty please? I reckon I should be entitled to a 10% discount.........I know I probably sound greedy and I apologise if I come across like that.

Please send me a MM with your account details and I'll transfer the funds immediately, if not sooner!!!!!!

Like Big Kev used to say............"I'm Exceited!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Chump ,, how many fletch purple bricks and lengths of special fitting chain for an 80series turbo diesel auto ?? had this other bloke supposed to provide me with a magical tin can that was to save me 10/15% of fuel use , he was forever spruiking up this magic con [pun intended] to the point that I challenged him to provide me with one to test in the interest of the forum , needless to say that after many emails and promises , buck passing from 1 distributer to the other Im still waiting for my magic tin can called a fitch , realy hope the purple brick fuel saving device that is to be known as fletch will give me the fuel economy that the magic tin can known as fitch is not able to provide , ,, ps. hope you make at least a million $6.00 notes from this great invention ,your not a liar or a conman by any chance are you ?? lol.

FOR SALE:.....striped paint. $100.00 per 4 litres

Just as stripes over the bonnet - roof - boot made your 60 & 70's car handle and behave like the ones at Bathurst, the scientists have now created a paint with stripes inbuilt.

Not only does this new formulation give your car increased powerand spped, but Belive it Or Not, returns lower fuel consumptions by up to 10%.

contact: Speaknoevil Inc. on 902136242

Alloy, I'm glad you didn't call it a Felch :-)

#1 I would like 4 litres of striped paint, please. Coloured RED and SILVER.

Everybody knows that RED is the FASTEST colour. Combine it with SILVER ( the most WATERPROOF colour), I should get higher performance combined with superior corrosion protection :-)

I don't like British Racing Green, because it causes electrical faults.....

Is that red with a silver stripe or silver with red stripe?
& how many stripes do you want

#1 I would like silver with red stripes, please.

That way I am assured that my car won't rust with all the river crossings I have planned. I believe that if I paint my airbox silver I won't need a snorkel either, because silver is more waterproof than all the other colours and actually repels the water. I'm waiting for the Uni of QLD to come back with hard data, as just before I signed a contract with them, their river crossing simulator broke.

Now, I want the red stripes about 10% of the total silver width. That will give me 10% better top-end speed AND the same in fuel economy.....

Please send paint urgently. I need to save money NOW.

And I want the free pair of shoelaces you advertised last week. Thank you.
