I will stand by my claim that they are absolute crap - but there is always an exception eh?

I have a lot of experiance with BMC ''B'' blocks - 1500,1622 and 1800cc motors.In my A40 Devon Pick up,Series II Oxford and 2 Austin 1800s,plus all the countless ones I've worked on.They are the most ''ping'' prone motor I've ever worked on,tuning was really a matter of ''ear'' (can't do it now with my hearing) I tried to run one of my 1800s on 91 when it came out,but had to retard the timing so much I couldn't get up the drive,no way will these run on regular.

One of my customers has a Morris Marina station wagon,and he loves it (explained at a glance if you ever met him) ,it has the 1800cc ''B'' block,and a Fuelstar,or maybe another with a similar sounding name and claims.I tune this motor as I have always tuned them...and it runs on regular,for the 10yrs I've worked on it.He reckons it's because of the Fuelstar,and I almost have to believe him,because out of the 100s of these things I've tuned,it's the only one that doesn't rattle under load.Maybe it has 2 headgaskets,a special one off cyl head,I dunno - I'm puzzled by it...and somewhat annoyed.

Reminds me of the "pinging" (or to be PC ,should I say "asianing") problem I had on my MX5.
I couldn't understand why it was worse on over run.
It turned out to be a cable tie I had attached to the front suspension subframe to give me a visual locator for my trolley jack lift point.
The tie flapped rapidly in the slipstream,sounding exactly like Pinging.

Well...yes they do!

I have a V6 Camry and keep records of fuel mileage.

My first test was 1760 kms trip and car mileage improved 5%. This was just as well because they offered money back guarantee if it did not improve 5% or more.

They said that mileage would further improve over next few thousand kilometres.

So, after 12 months, and other test....Adelaide/Melbourne/Adelaide.
8% improvement.

They say car will have more torque and engine smoother and spin more quickly.
I agree...it does. Actually, initially the car idled at 1200 rpm instead of 750, and it took a few starts later before the cars computer learned to cut back the idling.

DOES IT WORK ON A MOTORBIKE. Well it should BUT....they also say only minimum improvement on Premium Unleaded. At the same time as fitting a unit in my SV650S, I put on a K&N filter, and put in Iridium spark plugs...
so any improvement could have come from any or a combination of the things I did. Well...I used to get 260-290 kms on tank b4 warning fuel light came on.
I did 304kms the other day coming back from Melbourne.
To be fair...a motorbike economy is effected by winds/ even gusty side winds.
How far you fill it up the neck of the tank.

They also said to change the oil at 2,000kms after fitting because it will be black with carbon that has been cleaned from the combustion chamber.
Geez...was it black...like Indian Ink. Now the oil changes are cleaner than before, but this is no big deal, because the oil is supposed to get black otherwise the rubbish is still in the engine somewhere.

Look up 'Fuel Catalyst' in a search engine. You will find lots of info...some of it scientific.

It works for me!
