Has anyone ever herd of or used this fuel catalyst? Their claims are pretty impressive so I am very skeptical about this product. Their web site is www.robmic.myextremeresearch.com If you can get to the PRODUCT section of the page select the GAS CATALYST and see what you think. It sounds to good to be true, so I just wait on my fellow diesel drivers for advice.

Hee hee, I just love this snake-oil stuff. Well, if the cheezy website, lack of solid data, and implausible claim of 35% fuel economy improvement isn't enough of a giveaway for you, how's this:



They mention the formula is patented. I read the patent ( http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-...,266,082.WKU.&OS=PN/5,266,082&RS=PN/5,266,082)

Based on what I read there, this stuff is basically alcohol plus small amounts of naphthalene (i. e. , mothballs), iron oxide (i. e. , rust), zinc oxide (i. e. , sunscreen) and magnesium oxide. So, what they're selling you for about a dollar an ounce costs them maybe 3 cents per ounce to make. You might get a good (if expensive) buzz off it and maybe avoid a sunburn. The 'data' (and I use the term advisedly) presented in the patent is dreadful... for example, "Drivers involved in the test reported much improved engine performance and increased mileage using the additive" (uh, helloooo? some numbers here? maybe some statistics?????)



You know the drill: if it sounds to good to be true, it is. The way I figger it, my truck is already well-supplied with alcohol, sunscreen, and rust. As for the mothballs... well, I'm reminded of an old one-liner, but if I quoted it here Steve would undoubtedly feel the need to delete it!

Right on, WBusa, products that pretty much claim to rewrite the laws of physics are definitely in the snake oil class. To get that kind of change you would have to improve the diesel combustion process. And you won't do that with ingredients which are basically inert.
