What do the guru's reckon to this - snake oil or genuine? 100% snake oil. This subject used to pop up regularly on uk.rec.cars.classic. Same as Fuel Cat, Carbonflo, etc. Lots of old cars can run on unleaded fuel for ages without suffering damage, which is why the few devotees of these products were so convinced they were working. |

Ah, but it was the Russians that invented it. To put in Spitfires. Or something. |

See also magnets in water pipes to reduce scaling and those ludicrous electronic gizmos. I live in one of the hardest water areas in the UK. We don't have a water softener or any of those magnet things. There's no scaling in the pipes because the hot water temperature is kept low enough to avoid scaling. Hence if I fit one of those devices with no control I could end up convinced it's doing something when it's not. Someone fitted on of those devices at a factory where I worked and stopped using the water softener. He caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the high temperature devices (autoclaves and high temperature wash systems) where scaling is an issue. Someone, somewhere is always ready to buy snake oil. |
