I didn't pay anything for them. As to whether they 'work'; what do you think that I think they do? Honestly mate I wouldn't waste my time replying to something I thought was a load of rubbish. These sort of forums are full of people with no life, and no car knowledge. I bet you havent seen a socket set never mind used one?
Qualifications:1) Got socket sets
2) Used them
3) Know a little bit about catalysts
These things are utter tripe. Catalysts enable a reaction to happen at a lower pressure or temperature than it would otherwise need. They aren't magic, they don't violate laws around the conservation of energy.
The question you need to ask the vendor is what reaction they are facilitating in your petrol tank. Generally we don't like reactions happening in petrol tanks.

Presumably they dissolve in the fuel, so why not dissolve them in a can of diesel and then pour that into the tank?
Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by taking part in them but ending up in their original state.Surely you'd get the same result by using 'old' diesel, presumably more aged than spending thousands of years under the North Sea.

So you get them into the fuel tank and they just sit there? Forever?
Forever! Ace, must get me some.

OP, do you have good data on your current MPG without the catalysts?
If not, then why not start tracking your MPG before you put them in, ideally you would need to track 4-5 full tanks at least to get a reasonable base line.
The you can add the catalysts and measure again, at least this way you will get some idea of if they have worked or not.
"If it disagrees with experiment it's wrong"
If you really want to improve your MPG, change your driving style, google Hypermiling and have a read.
P.S. I know the above experiment is hardly good enough to give an accurate answer on whether they work or not, but at least you will have some data to compare.

If any substance could somehow "catalyse" fuel to improve its energy yield, do you not think that manufacturers would be lining fuel tanks or fuel lines with the stuff?
They're utter b
ks, take the advice of previous posters here and install them in the dustbin. Very much doubt that anything good would come from a loose object rattling around in your fuel tank.

They laughed at me when I bought an electric supercharger, magnets to polarise the fuel and a hgo system. I saved thousands it is all a big conspiracy by the fuel companies to control what is the public domain.
I might give these a go keep us updated

Not dissolving and not chemically affecting the fuel in any way yet still providing some magic fuel system cleaning function, slightly lowering the pressure required to combust the diesel or somehow improving mpg (plus many other placebo benefits not yet mentioned).

This is exactly the point I was getting at!Ace, must get me some.

As someone points out above, the fuel tank is a place where you don't want reactions occurring. If these are really a catalyst that has any effect on your fuel, all that they will do is make your fuel go bad more quickly. I suspect they are inert though. I hope they are inert!
If these were something that fitted inside the combustion chamber it might have some effect (not necessarily positive).
If you want to see the effects of an actual catalyst on a volatile substance (diesel is not as volatile, but it is still volatile), try putting a few drops of blood into a container of hydrogen peroxide. Wear safety gear and don't do it near anything flammable or actually burning!!!

''New 2017 version! The miracle additive for both PETROL and DIESEL engines. FTC Fuel Tank Catalyst and Additive for enginees up to 2000cc. FTC is a specially formulated mix of rare earth metals cast into solid micro cones. The little cones that make up the FTC are simply dropped into the fuel tank where they get to work to permanently improve performance, economy and restore lost power. Safe to install the FTC will not breakdown or invalidate any warranty.
FTC users report many or all of the following improvements; better acceleration, more engine responsiveness, lower emissions, easier starting, lower operating temperature and improved fuel economy. Results will differ from vehicle to vehicle, engine to engine but if you don't find any improvement we'll happily refund you.
Simple to install and safe in any vehicle. Feed the FTCs into the neck of the fuel tank, let them sink to the bottom of the fuel tank and get straight to work. FTC enhances fuel quality for a more efficient and complete combustion and reverses any carbon/gums/tars that have built up in the engine to restore lost performance and efficiency. FTC will also prevent these performance inhibiting deposits from returning.
It's a simple case of fit and forget, or rather fit and enjoy! Order your FTC today and start enjoying improved performance for yourself.
Noticeable benefits & improved engine performance for engines up to 2000cc.''

Why wouldn't they work for engines over 2000cc? (that is assuming they would work in engines below 2000cc, which they don't)this?

The name Broquet rings a bell. I'm sure I remember something about Subaru dropping these little things into the petrol engines of official Japanese import Impreza's like the 22b to try to stop them from detting on our lower grade fuel as they use 100 RON in Japan or am I imagining it?
I don't think I am, a large company like Subaru obviously believed they did something to the fuel although I'm pretty sure I remember too that the Subaru community weren't so convinced.
