It must
be emphasised that users may experience most, if not all of the benefits
mentioned, as the list below covers many types of both petrol and diesel
engines down to a lawn mower size. The cones are supplied either in a
Polypropylene gauze, which then must be placed in the bottom of the tank, or a
steel cartridge can be supplied for fitting within the fuel line. The in-line
units and tank units last for 400,000 kms in petrol and slightly less in
diesel.
·
A more complete and even Combustion gives more
power per unit of fuel. This extra power can be used or saved. If used, the
engine performance will be enhanced, using the same amount of fuel, or if
saved, better fuel consumption. Typical savings reported by FUEL CAT users is
between 8% to 15%. Due to the more complete combustion, both diesel and petrol
engines will run more smoothly. This is one of the first benefits usually
noticed by users.
·
More Power
- users will report less gear
changes, taking a familiar piece of road or hazard in a higher gear, high speed
more easily achieved and maintained. Towing a trailer or caravan is easier in
any gear.
·
Hydrocarbon Additives and Octane Boosters are unnecessary due to a cleaner running engine and the
extra power gained by using FUEL CAT.
No need to use Supergreen 98 octane etc, so saving money.
·
Lower Carbon Monoxide Emissions for petrol
engines - if the fuel is burnt more efficiently, lower emissions would be
expected. Less emissions means less pollution to our environment.
·
Lower Smoke Particulate
emitted from diesel engines -
again beneficial to the environment.
·
Carbon in used
engines is cleaned from the combustion area including pistons, rings, valves
and injectors. In new engines, carbon is not allowed to build up. Compression
is equalised and optimised.
·
Carbon is also Cleaned
from the engine breathers and the exhaust system - the latter over a longer
period. Better breathing means better maintenance and better fuel economy. Also
lower emissions.
·
Lower Levels of Carbon
production means cleaner engine oil and better maintained engines. You can see
the oil on the dipstick stays cleaner for longer. LESS CARBON, LESS WEAR.
·
For Engines used to a
high proportion of idling time and older engines, greater freedom given to the
operation of the piston rings with lower oil consumption. This could refer
specifically to cars that spend a lot of time in congested traffic conditions.
·
Freedom from a build-up of Carbon (even the smallest amounts), means better transfer of heat
to the cooling system. The carbon does not act as an insulator. Important to
lean burn engines.
·
Due to improved combustion, generally
within 1,500 miles, most users report that the idling speed has increased and
needs to be adjusted down. With sophisticated engine management systems, this may
be controlled automatically.
·
Easier Starting
- due to the fuel being more ready
to combust. Quicker starting means extended battery life.
·
Diesel knock is reduced - in some cases
considerably. Injectors stay cleaner for longer as well as improved mpg and
lower smoke emissions.
·
Unleaded Conversion - all “lead
only” engines can be run on unleaded fuel. Check the reaction of the engine to
see that it is running as normal. In nearly all cases, no ignition retardation
is necessary. Only very occasionally will a slight adjustment be necessary.
·
Catalytic Converters
- due to emissions being reduced before reaching the converter the life of the
catalyst will last longer.
·
Turbos run more efficiently and will last longer, due
to cleaner exhaust emissions passing through it.
·
Fuel - when placed in tank,
FUEL CAT will stop fuel degradation, over layoffs, and inhibit bacterial
growth.
·
Motorbike Users
- benefits include better mpg, cleaner engine, easier starting, cures most
carburation flat spots and eliminates pinking.
Since 1991 many thousands of FUEL CATS have been sold worldwide to satisfied customers.
