    Good day fellow forum mates I'm a newbie here and I'm posting this thread not intentionally to sell but to just introduce this product to you and if I violated some forum rules you may freely delete this post THANKS :D

    Description: The gasoline and diesel fuels that we put into our vehicles leave particles behind that form carbon deposits in the engine. These deposits contribute to the creation and emission of poisonous gases into the environment every time that we use our automobiles. What if there was something you could do that would reduce deposit build-up and in turn, decrease the amount of poisonous gases emitted by your vehicle? By using ECO PURE every time you fill up your tank, you can do just that.


    ECO PURE is a safe, effective, and fully-tested combustion catalyst designed to aid in increasing the burn rate of fuel in the combustion chamber and reducing afterburn.


    Key Benefits


    * For gas, diesel, biodiesel and gas-ethanol engines
    * Aids in reducing emissions
    * Helps remove carbon deposits and with consistent
    * use, may prevent further deposits from forming May improve fuel efficiency and engine performance (may reduce fuel consumption by 10-30%)
    * Provides 25% more coverage than other products. ECO PURE’s concentrated formula allows one tablet to treat up to 25 gallons of fuel while similar products only treat up to 20 gallons
    * ECO PURE was created with the latest technology to ensure maximum efficiency
    * EPA registered


    * 1 sachet contains 10pcs of ecopure tablets and 1 tablet = 100 liters of Gas/Diesel.

    BTW, regarding the EPA approved claim...

    [SIZE="4"] "Gas-Saving" Products: Fact or Fuelishness?[/SIZE]

    Gas prices are up, and so is the volume of advertising for "gas-saving" products. When gasoline prices rise, consumers often look for ways to improve fuel efficiency. Although there are practical steps you can take to increase gas mileage, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns you to be wary of any gas-saving claims for automotive devices or oil and gas additives. Even for the few gas-saving products that have been found to work, the savings have been small.
    "Gas-Saving" Advertising Claims

    Be skeptical of the following kinds of advertising claims.

    * "This gas-saving product improves fuel economy by 20 percent."

    Claims usually tout savings ranging from 12 to 25 percent. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated or tested more than 100 alleged gas-saving devices and has not found any product that significantly improves gas mileage. In fact, some "gas-saving" products may damage a car's engine or cause substantial increases in exhaust emissions.

    The gas-saving products on the market fall into clearly defined categories. Although the EPA has not tested or evaluated every product, it has tried to examine at least one product in each category. See "Devices Tested by EPA" at the end of this brochure for category descriptions and product names.

    * "After installing your product on my car, I got an extra 4 miles [6.4 kilometers] per gallon [3.8 liters]."

    Many ads feature glowing testimonials by satisfied customers. Yet, few consumers have the ability or the equipment to test for precise changes in gas mileage after installing a gas-saving product. Many variables affect fuel consumption, including traffic, road and weather conditions, and the car's condition.

    For example, one consumer sent a letter to a company praising its "gas-saving" product. At the time the product was installed, however, the consumer also had received a complete engine tune-up - a fact not mentioned in the letter. The entire increase in gas mileage attributed to the "gas-saving" product may well have been the result of the tune-up alone. But from the ad, other consumers could not have known that.

    * "This gas-saving device is approved by the Federal government."

    No government agency endorses gas-saving products for cars. The most that can be claimed in advertising is that the EPA has reached certain conclusions about possible gas savings by testing the product or by evaluating the manufacturer's own test data. If the seller claims that its product has been evaluated by the EPA, ask for a copy of the EPA report, or check www.epa.gov for information. In some instances, false claims of EPA testing or approval have been made.



    Product Complaints and Refunds

    If you're dissatisfied with a gas-saving product, contact the manufacturer and ask for a refund. Most companies offer money-back guarantees. Contact the company, even if the guarantee period has expired.

    If you're not satisfied with the company's response, contact your local or state consumer protection agency or the Better Business Bureau.

    Shifting Gears: Real Money-Saving Steps

    There are numerous no- or low-cost steps you can take to combat rising gas prices. The most important place to start is at the gas pump; buy only the octane level gas you need. All gas pumps must post the octane rating of the gas under the FTC's Fuel Rating Rule. Remember, the higher the octane, the higher the price. Check your owner's manual to determine the right octane level for your car.

    Here are some additional tips from the EPA to help you get better gas mileage.

    Drive more efficiently

    * Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph), rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent. Driving at 75 mph, rather than 65 mph, increases fuel consumption by another 25 percent.

    * Use overdrive gears. Overdrive gears improve the fuel economy of your car during highway driving. Your car's engine speed decreases when you use overdrive. This reduces both fuel consumption and engine wear.

    * Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    * Anticipate driving situations. If you anticipate traffic conditions and don't tailgate, you can avoid unnecessary braking and acceleration, and improve your fuel economy by 5 to 10 percent. In city driving, nearly 50 percent of the energy needed to power your car goes to acceleration. Go easy on the gas pedal and brakes. "Jack-rabbit" starts and sudden stops are wasteful.

    * Avoid unnecessary idling. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. No matter how efficient your car is, unnecessary idling wastes fuel, costs you money and pollutes the air.

    * Combine errands. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm.

    * Remove excess weight from the trunk. Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by one to two percent.

    Maintain your car

    * Keep your engine tuned. Studies have shown that a poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 to 20 percent depending on a car's condition. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual; you'll save fuel and your car will run better and last longer.

    * Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned. Car manufacturers must place a label in the car stating the correct tire pressure. The label usually is on the edge of the door or door jamb, in the glove box, or on the inside of the gas cap cover. If the label lists a psi (pounds per square inch) range, use the higher number to maximize your fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires cause fuel consumption to increase by six percent.

    * Change your oil. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine. Change your oil as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

    * Check and replace air filters regularly. Your car's air filter keeps impurities in the air from damaging internal engine components. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter improve your fuel economy, it also will protect your engine. Clogged filters can cause up to a 10 percent increase in fuel consumption.

    Consider buying a fuel efficient vehicle

    Deciding which vehicle to buy may be the most important fuel economy decision you make. The difference between a car that gets 20 MPG (miles per gallon) and one that gets 30 MPG amounts to $3,125 over 5 years, assuming gas costs $2.50 per gallon and you drive 15,000 miles a year.

    Visit www.fueleconomy.gov for more information. You’ll find gas mileage estimates and other data from EPA for 1985-2007 model year cars.

    EPA Evaluation Efforts

    The EPA evaluates or tests products to determine whether their use will result in any significant improvement or detriment to fuel economy. However, the EPA cannot say what effect gas-saving products will have on a vehicle over time because it hasn't conducted any durability tests. It's possible that some products may harm the car or may otherwise adversely affect its performance. In fact, today's vehicles' emission control systems are very sophisticated and complex. They have On Board Diagnostic features that alert the driver to problems associated with the emission control and fuel delivery systems. Retrofit products may have an adverse effect on these systems.

    I wonder why "eco-pure" is not listed among the "tested" products of the EPA?

    Maybe because the obvious reason that ECO-PURE's claim of EPA registration is false?

    The last time someone tried putting tablets to "save" fuel, his car stalled after a while of using it. It was diagnosed later that "something" clogged fuel filters.

    No fuel savings was observed.

    fully tested? And where are the test data? ... missing just like the EPA registration?


    * For gas, diesel, biodiesel and gas-ethanol engines
    Works like snake oil for all types of fuels and engines....

    [SIZE="6"]Eco Pure[/SIZE]

    [SIZE="5"]US-EPA Registered[/SIZE]

    [SIZE="5"]Engine Performance Additives - uses Combustion Chamber Catalyst Technology[/SIZE]



    [SIZE="5"]What can you expect by using Eco Pure[/SIZE]

    Fuel Saver. Saves 10% - 30% on you fuel Consumption.

    Improve Octane Rating. Effective octane booster for engines while reducing “engine knock”.

    Reduced Fuel Consumption. By promoting more efficient combustion through organometallic chemistry.

    Reduced Harmful Exhaust Emissions. During the combustion process the hydrogen carbon molecular bond is more efficiently broken down resulting in less unburned fuel in the exhaust.

    Reduced Exhaust Temperature. The combustion process is accelerated and completed in the combustion chamber, thus leading to a reduction in exhaust temperature.

    Reduced Lube Oil Contamination. This cleaner burning combustion (a reduction in carbon, particulate mater and opacity in the exhaust
    emissions) leads to fewer contaminates entering the crankcase through blow by.

    Reduced Engine Wear. Engine wear will be noticeably reduced in cylinder liners, piston rings and ring groove landings etc., as a direct
    result of the decrease in carbon and particulate matter.

    ***

    Testimonials.

    Prior in using Eco Pure my car (Mitsubishi Lancer) engine was not in a good condition, its not tuned-up, overheated a couple of times. When I used Eco Pure roaming around Quezon City going from lots of places usually cost me Php.800 the whole day but it only took me Php.500 worth of gas.
