Spot on!
If you troll back through the archives a few years ago, I got embroiled in the great "FUTCH" (not it's real name.....change the "U" to an "I"....changed to avoid computer search hitting on this thread) debate. Because the great man himself (Bill S of
Wollongong) was prepared to supply a money back guarantee with his little colourful coke can, I decided to
shell out my hard-earned to
test it. I have always maintained meticulous fuel usage records, so I knew I'd be in a good position to tell if I was enjoying the claimed 10% fuel economy improvement.
I had it on for 2 months and sent it back....got my full refund, but was down as far as the cost of the postage was concerned.
After I returned it, there were some more harsh words spoken on this
forum because Bill S claimed that the reason I didn't see any improvement in economy was that I didn't get my fuel injector pump timing retarded ( as suggested by Bill S).
If I'd have wanted to retard my fuel pump, I could have done that (and seen the change in fuel economy), without bothering to fit the FELCH!!!
I believe we all came to the conclusion that the only retard in this matter was Bill S.
