Default Fuel stuff works!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought some fuel stuff, from a nearby car boot place, £2 a bottle to treat 100 litres, though it would be a laugh, so I could report how bad this stuff was!
Glad I did not offer to "eat my hat" now, it only works, bloody hell it is ace, idle totally smoooooothed out, pulls 200% better when cold, defo more torque, bit early to tell but fuel gauge defo not going down as quick.
Other people there buying it, including one I saw putting it in his scenic diesel, he was telling me 1/3 more miles to a tank, "bloody hell don't beleive that thought I" but everyone was saying the same.
I bought a few bottles, one has been sent away for research by a friend(USAF) to see precisely what is in it, the others I have used 1/2 of a bottle, this was in my astra 1.4 auto(aka "enzo killer").
I am more sceptical than anybody and don't beelive what I am told hence my trying it for myself.
I very much suspect it is ACETONE certainly mainly at least, but they have a website, and if I can find the leaflet I will post it up if anyone interested.

Is that whats its actually called ? " Fuel Stuff " .......... a 3rd of a tank extra eh ? that would equate to an extra 225 miles for £2 for my daily car

Id certainly give it a go for the price of a bag of chips and a can of coke

Ive forwarded this over to the lads in R&D here at toyota, we spend around 5 billion USD a year on research into improving economy, so we can trim that budget down a little if there is something we can buy for 2 quid a go that gives us 1/3rd better gas mileage.

Ive suggested 10% as my cut of the 5 billion it will save us this year when we dont need to do any R&D, I think thats perfectly reasonable, so hopefully they'll pop a cheque in the post for 500 million for me.

I'll be able to buy a couple of extra novas then.


Thanks

Give that money to me and I'll sell you one of my own 'patented fuel saver' devices to fit on a test vehicle.
Installation is easy. You simply place the brick, sorry 'fuel saver', directly beneath the accelerator pedal.

The research boys will be amazed! As I tell the wife, it aint just a place for storing hats!

You can get PETROLSAVER from this url if anyone is interested, I was a bit sceptical but it has a magnet if your in any doubt

http://www.petrolsaver.org.uk/index.htm

with a name like that you know its going to be better than anything else

Why do you think I am seeing for myself, instead of the twats that just go by heresay ?
If it turns out to be shit I will tell you, but then who ten years ago would have thought of WATER powered cars ?
All I can say is after 120 odd miles it is defo smoother, more eager, bit early to tell about the mpg claims as not done a tank full yet, but seems to be better according to the gauge, is is without doubt better when cold.
My g/f and daughter have both driven cars with this in, I did not tell my g/f but asked her after about a 5/6 mile journey did you find the car any different, I deliberately did not tell her so as to eliminate as much as possible, her response "it's much faster".
Like I say some is on it's way to USA as I write so I will soon know what's in it.
If it proves to offer no benefit MPG wise I shall not get any more, if it proves to be acetone, I will continue to use as I can get it free.
Sorry but I don't follow "the crowd" and say as I find, I might even try it on the cossie next!!

I appreciate your technical analysis of this product.

Our Clio is faster when I drive it with my keys, than it is when I drive it with Beccy's keys. I've timed it, fact.

Thinking about it, I did take a dump just before the timed runs with my keys, so maybe the 1/2kg I shed made all the difference.

That might be the reason I am testing it on a full tank.
I can't beleive the bods on here think nothing new can work, and that there is nothing left to find, and NO, money thrown at something does not gaurantee results, often someone working in a shed in the garden comes up trumps.
No doubt people 100 years ago scoffed at the idea of going to another planet, or of invisiblity caused by UFT ?

Anyway, on a completely separate note, there's this guy I know who reckons he maxes out all the equipment at his local gym. Maybe he drinks this stuff?

He's a slightly portly fella, so I guess it has its side-effects.

retro ford did a test on 6 products with a wildcard at the end.

using a 1600 x-flow it made 102 bhp (or thereabouts) the best fuel additive added 6hp, but the wildcard added 10. the wildcard was bp ultimate.

Tried adding acetone to the tank of my 1.3 fiesta years ago, didn't seem to make much difference.

I think I have heard of this person, he also used to have a 700bhp Mini with front drive shafts only a few inches long.
