Miracle additive (or not)

norseman · 11 Jul 2019

Hi folks.
Adverts. for this product (FTC pellets) have been published in Classic Car Weekly, in either half or full page format, for months now & I'm wondering if anyone has actually given it a try. As a confirmed cynic it seems to me to be just another re-hash of claims I remember reading about literally decades ago & last year there was an allegation that the company was under investigation by the advertising standards authority, but haven't seen any follow-up on that. I'm assuming the advertiser must sell the product in some quantity otherwise the ad. wouldn't be running for so long

The principle was developed in ww2 because the aircraft we gave the Russians wouldn't run on crap Russian fuel.
I run old bikes and just use super unleaded

Note that: "Tank Chip ..... doesn’t currently claim that Tank Chip increases power output/BHP".

And some test results here in motorbikes suggesting (at least when I read it) that as a Catalyst it does not work:

If it was as good as it claims I'm sure the oil companies would be following it....

If a car manufacturer could get an improvement in MPG, would they decide not to?

Agreed

Car manufacturers are so desperate to improve their cars mpg and compete against others that I think that they would have considered and rejected these BEFORE programing their cars to cheat mpg tests and face going to jail (https://www.theguardian.com/busines...d-of-volkswagen-could-face-10-years-in-prison)

There are lots of additives on the market, when tested they were found to reduce engine performance and fuel economy by as much as 2mpg.

Whilst thanking everyone for their responses I note that my initial question remains unanswered, has anyone actually TRIED the product?

Your asking the wrong people.

Try www.gulliblemugs.co.uk

The ones who buy timeshares and foam roofing sprays, copper bracelets to cure arthritis, cedar balls to prevent moth damage, magnets to soften hard water.
