I'd love to know if there was any way this stuff can work.
Any ideas?

During June 2001 a test took place in Dubai, so that the effects of continuous heat and dust and very poorly refined fuel could be monitored. The results were startling. As an example of the various vehicles tested, a JEEP Cherokee before treatment would not change up the gears, the engine was erratic and would not rev above 3500 RPM. After treatment and within one hour the automatic gearbox was working perfectly and the engine was revving up to 6000 revs. The vehicle is now operating very smoothly and working at optimal performance.


Comments like this tend to concern me. Magically the fuel treatment mends the gearbox?

More like replacing a totally clogged air filter.

Can I be first on the list to be taken to court. I was rather a long way down the last list.

I bought a mondeo off ebay a few years ago, it came with a little 'cataclean log book' type thing full of little cataclean stickers from every 6000 miles. Unfortunatley it didnt seem to offer any protection against being rear ended at high speed

I think I can live with a slightly mucky cat.

Dont they have wipes for that very situation these days?

I think this stuff will have gone up in smoke long before it gets anywhere near the cat
