FFI's MPG Caps

**4wrider** · February 5th, 2007 05:13 PM

A free seminar was supposed to have been conducted last February 1 in Dusit Hotel and last February 2 at Cebu's Marriot Hotel to introduce the fuel saving product and the business system of the Fuel Freedom International. The product, MPG Caps works based on the theory that the additive does not affect combustion directly, but forms a coating on the inside surface of the combustion chamber that then promotes complete burning of the fuel.

Any takers?

According to testing, they're apparently an octane booster.

There's no solid evidence that they leave any "coating" on the combustion chamber, and, as I recall, most of us have a name for that coating... carbon deposits...

Still, an octane boost is a good thing, but whether the cost is justifiable or if this is any better than switching from regular unleaded to premium is a judgement call. I still wouldn't trust anyone that claims deposits on my combustion chambers are a good thing.

Any takers?

if it creates a coating inside the combustion chamber, won't it also coat your sparkplugs as well? And is there any tangible evidence that there is a coating (aside from carbon soot) that has formed on the inside surface of the combustion chamber after using this product?

Or is it just more "vapor-ware"?

How does a coating promote "complete burning of fuel"? Does it insulate the heat from escaping the combustion chamber? Does it change the burn characteristics of the fuel (slower flame front)? Does it affect the actual atomization of the fuel leaving the fuel injectors?

Haha. Good to see we now have a lot of hopefully healthy skepticism after khaos and dingle.

Explanation from their website http://team6.mpgproduct.com/

Here's an easy way to explain MPG-CAPS™ to first time customers. Ask them if they know how a non-stick frying pan works. They'll be familiar with the way the coating keeps stuff from sticking to the surface of the pan. That's how MPG-CAPS™ work too, by coating the combustion chamber of your engine with sacrificial catalytic coating. This micro-thin coating acts to catalyze pump fuels and dramatically improve your performance. As long as you continue to use the MPG-CAP™, the catalyst will continue to inhibit detrimental effects of sulfur molecules and other impurities found in pump fuels, retarding the formation of sludge, varnish and acids that are harmful to your engine. Your engine runs smoother, cleaner has more pep and you get the benefit of better gas mileage.

MPG-CAPS™ will actually help your engine by decreasing wear on combustion chamber components and as an added benefit it helps your engine burn cleaner, reducing harmful emissions.

NB: I'm not selling the product but would really want to know if it the product is technically plausible enough to worth the try.

A fuel additive cannot put a coating on the chambers, as that would be strained out by the fuel filter, unfortunately.

There are ways to coat the pistons and chambers. Ceramic coating. Some racers do this, but it's very expensive and requires you to take apart the engine and coat each item individually.

There's no way to get a working coating on the engine with parts moving at over 3000 rpm and under load, with fuel, air and carbon swirling around in those chambers. At best, it'd be uneven, flaky, and it might possibly chew up your exhaust valves and catalytic converter on the way out.

You can ask at the demo: "Sir, how many companies apply teflon to the pan while the customer is frying eggs at the same time?" The answer should be enlightening.

The first link I posted has sub-links to testing results which show that the MPG Caps are merely octane boosters and contain nothing else of any sort. Here:

I don't know if cutedoc finally tried them, you might PM him and ask for his results.
