Fuel Treatment to Enhance Fuel Economy, Power, Durability and Emission of Engine

[McLovell]

Xtreme Fuel Treatment - XFT - Syntek Global - Product Information - YouTube

for product profile click: mysyntek.com - First TRUE Fuel Enhancer

I came across with this product as they said it is available now in Philippines. The product offer the following for both diesel and gasoline, from small to industrial engine:

1. Enhance the engine fuel economy up to 40%
2. Prolong engine life
3. Increase the engine power
4. Decrease engine emission

Other features
1. Has lubricating agent
2. Fuel Stabilizer
3. Burn rate Modifier
4. Rust and Corrosion Inhibitor
5. Detergent
6. Demulsifier
6. Polymerization Retardant and Dispersant

The advertisement said it is being used in US for 20 years in large industry, EPA registered, Nobel Prize Winner and Patented. Any comment on this?

Thanks

The EPA has this to say about ....

Devices Tested by EPA

The following list categorizes various types of "gas-saving" products, explains how they're used and gives product names. Those with asterisks may save measurable, but small, amounts of gas. All others have been found not to increase fuel economy.

Air Bleed Devices. These devices bleed air into the carburetor. They usually are installed in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation line or as a replacement for idle-mixture screws.

The EPA has evaluated the following products: ADAKS Vacuum Breaker Air Bleed; Air-Jet Air Bleed; Aquablast Wyman Valve Air Bleed; Auto-Miser; Ball-Matic Air Bleed; Berg Air Bleed; Brisko PCV; Cyclone-Z; Econo Needle Air Bleed; Econo-Jet Air Bleed Idle Screws; Fuel Max*; Gas Saving Device; Grancor Air Computer; Hot Tip; Landrum Mini-Carb; Landrum Retrofit Air Bleed; Mini Turbocharger Air Bleed; Monocar HC Control Air Bleed; Peterman Air Bleed; Pollution Master Air Bleed; Ram-Jet; Turbo-Dyne G.R. Valve.

Vapor Bleed Devices. These devices are similar to the air bleed devices, except that induced air is bubbled through a container of a water and anti-freeze mixture, usually located in the engine compartment.

The EPA has evaluated: Atomized Vapor Injector; Frantz Vapor Injection System; Hydro-Vac: POWERFUeL; Mark II Vapor Injection System; Platinum Gasaver; V-70 Vapor Injector; SCATPAC Vacuum Vapor Induction System: Econo-Mist Vacuum Vapor Injection System; Turbo Vapor Injection System.

Liquid Injection. These products add liquid into the fuel/air intake system and not directly into the combustion chamber.

The EPA has evaluated: FuelXpander; Gas Meiser I; Greer Fuel Preheater; Jacona Fuel System; Optimizer; Russell Fuelmiser.

Fuel Line Devices (magnets). These magnetic devices, clamped to the outside of the fuel line or installed in the fuel line, claim to change the molecular structure of gasoline.

The EPA has evaluated: PETRO-MIZER; POLARION-X; Super-Mag Fuel Extender; Wickliff Polarizer [fuel line magnet/intake air magnet].

Fuel Line Devices (metallic). Typically, these devices contain several dissimilar metals that are installed in the fuel line, supposedly causing ionization of the fuel.

The EPA has evaluated: Malpassi Filter King [fuel pressure regulator]; Moleculetor.

Mixture Enhancers (under the carburetor). These devices are mounted between the carburetor and intake manifold and supposedly enhance the mixing or vaporization of the air/fuel mixture.

The EPA has evaluated: Energy Gas Saver; Environmental Fuel Saver; Gas Saving and Emission Control Improvement Device; Glynn-50; Hydro-Catalyst Pre-Combustion Catalyst System; PETROMIZER SYSTEM; Sav-A-Mile; Spritzer; Turbo-Carb; Turbocarb.

Mixture Enhancers (others). These devices make some general modifications to the vehicle intake system.

The EPA has evaluated: Basko Enginecoat; Dresser Economizer; Electro-Dyne Superchoke; Filtron Urethane Foam Filter; Lamkin Fuel Metering Device; Smith Power and Deceleration Governor.

Internal Engine Modifications. These devices make physical or mechanical function changes to the engine.

The EPA has evaluated: ACDS Automotive Cylinder Deactivation System*; Dresser Economizer; MSU Cylinder Deactivation*.

Accessory Drive Modifiers. These devices reduce power to specific auto accessories.

The EPA has evaluated: Morse Constant Speed Accessory Drive **; P.A.S.S. Kit**; PASS Master Vehicle Air Conditioner**.

Fuels and Fuel Additives. These materials are added to the gas tank.

The EPA has evaluated: Bycosin; EI-5 Fuel Additive; Fuelon Power; Johnson Fuel Additive; NRG #1 Fuel Additive; QEI 400 Fuel Additive; Rolfite Upgrade Fuel Additive; Sta-Power Fuel Additive; Stargas Fuel Additive; SYNeRGy-1; Technol G Fuel Additive; ULX-15/ULX-15D; Vareb 10 Fuel Additive; XRG #1 Fuel Additive.

Oils and Oil Additives. Usually these materials are poured into the crankcase.

The EPA has evaluated: Analube Synthetic Lubricant; Tephguard.

Driving Habit Modifiers. These are lights or sound devices to tell the driver to reduce acceleration or to shift gears.

The EPA has evaluated: AUTOTHERM**; Fuel Conservation Device; Gastell; IDALERT**.

Miscellaneous. The EPA has evaluated: BRAKE-EZ; Dynamix; Fuel Maximiser; Gyroscopic Wheel Cover; Kamei Spoilers**; Kat's Engine Heater; Lee Exhaust and Fuel Gasification EGR; Mesco Moisture Extraction System; P.S.C.U. 01 Device; Treis Emulsifier.

* Indicated a very small improvement in fuel economy but with an increase in exhaust emissions. According to Federal regulations, installation of this device could be considered illegal tampering.

** Indicated a very small improvement in fuel economy without an increase in exhaust emissions. However, cost-effectiveness must be determined by the consumer for a particular application.

Long story made short - don't waste your money on fuel additives because they are proven by the EPA not to work.

Have a nice day.

if they do not work.. then why these oil companies selling us Vpower Nitro + racing ek ek...

even in their commercials, they claim they use fuel additives

[niky]

Marketing. Siyempre.

But octane and lubricity are important. And some fuel additives do give you an octane boost. The question is... why spend xxx hundreds of pesos on a bottle of additive that doesn't tell you exactly what it does instead of simply going down to the gas station and spending an extra five bucks per liter buying high octane gas (which tells you exactly what RON you're getting) instead?

I remember a test done by a magazine... they took octane additives from the market and tested them for boost. The best ones only boosted octane by about 1 RON when used as indicated. Kinda pathetic when you can just go out and buy 100 RON from Petron.

meron kasi sa kabila thread.. 2T mixed in diesel as fuel additive...

siguro yung "fuel saver" additive might not cause you any savings at all.. but how about those fuel enhancers...

But 2T in diesel is not a fuel saving additive, more of a lubricant that prolongs old school mechanical injection pumps and reduced noise and smoke.

[yebo]

let us not even bother to debate if it is effective or not. just use plain COMMON SENSE. just compute the cost per bottle vs price of 1 liter of gasoline. those additives easily fetch for P400-600 per 500 ml bottle. how many liters of gasoline will P400-600 buy? e di buy ka na lang ng gasoline kesa additive!

[batangtalyer]

minsan depende sa driving pattern sir. lahat naman ng mga products na yan laging yung mga positive side ang sinasabi nila. meron akong customer na gumagamit ng ganyan. oo tumipid nga daw yung fuel consumption nya. pero ang daling nasira ng fuel pump. lolz. eh di ganun din di ba? yung nawalang costing sa fuel consumption dun na punta sa piyesang nasira.

[niky]

The fact that they claim they're EPA registered, when the EPA doesn't accredit fuel savers, and that they claim it's Nobel Prize winning, when Nobel Prizes are not given out for commercial products but for pure research, tells you they're full of bull****.

The fuel nowadays have a balance of detergents to clean and additives to provide power and efficiency. What I think we should look out for are gas stations which have water contaminated fuel. This is were you should be using those treatments, find one which dissolves water, I personally use STP gas treatment it retails for 150 only, at the first sign of what I think might be water in gas( sini-sinok) I use one bottle and sometimes it takes 2 to 3 years before I even use one. Some talyer mechanics don't know this they would advise you to take down your fuel tank and dump the fuel in it when actually by using this you still can use the contaminated fuel. This is mostly used in cold weather countries because water in the tank and fuel lines will freeze when subjected to freezing temps and will make the engine difficult or unable to start.
