Default fuel catalyst

Has anyone tried the fitch fuel catalyst, The results seem impressive and the process has proven itself enough to be recogonized as legit threw the goverment usage on there trucks. The price of 231.00 would justify the cost if the savings was really there.

They did a performance test on Horse Power TV about a month or 2.
Their test did show it works and was quite impressive.
Maybe you could let us know how well it does.

Go figure.....

MuscleCar Review Magazine
"We weren't sure whether to call the Fitch Fuel Catalyst a mileage enhancer, emissions reducer, power improver, or fuel stabilizer. It's really all of the above. Our daily driver improved from 25 to 27.9 mpg. [That is an improvement of 11.6 % in fuel economy."

Hot Bike Magazine
"...an immediate increase in fuel mileage and a smoother idling motor on the Titan motorcycle. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is one of the best values in performance increases available today!"

Gold Wing Touring News
"Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a product that really works as claimed"

Hot Rod Bikes
Over the course of a couple of weeks average fuel economy went from 27 mpg (city driving) before the test to 33 [That is a 22% increase in fuel efficiency"

Iron Works
"Our most recent experience with the Fitch fuel treatment was with our 88 cubic inch Shovelhead engine that Kinetic Engines built for our '81 Rubber Glide FLT. Simply by adding Fitch to the stew, we gained two horsepower at the rear wheel, improving from 77.6 to 79.6 at 5,600 rpm."

Outdoor Power Equipment Trade
"Fitch Fuel Catalyst improves starting, fuel economy and power while reducing smoke, plug fowling and emissions."

Sport Truck
"At first, we were hesitant to dropping some "magic pellets" into our truck's fuel tank, but we figured we had nothing to lose. We were also skeptical to the claims that we would improve our fuel economy by as little as 1.5 to 2 mpg, but, to our surprise, we ended up getting a 2.5 mpg improvement (An increase of 18.9%). Considering that our test vehicle has over 85,000 miles on a 7.4L TMI engine, the results were well worth the price tag."

Classic Truck
"...throttle response improved and I was able to pull the hill 4 or 5 mph faster and I picked up nearly 4 miles per gallon on my 302 Ford..."

Hot Rod TV Magazine
"Hot Rod Magazine recently filmed a test of the FFC that ran on Speedvision TV for two weeks. Terry McGean, a technical editor for Hot Rod Magazine installed an FFC on an '86 Mustang GT. With the help of Mark Childers, an instructor at the Universal Technical Institute, the Mustang was base lined on a dynomometer using a state of the art 5 gas analyzer. After installation of an FFC, Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions decreased by 39.26 % to 99 parts per million. This means more energy was being extracted from the fuel after installation thus increasing power and fuel efficiency with less unused fuel (HC) coming out of the tailpipe."

JP Magazine
"After installing the Fitch Fuel Catalyst we picked up almost 3 mpg and there were other benefits such as reduced emissions, more power. Also with the Fitch there is no more need for stabilizers in Jeeps that are stored for part of the year.
[Improvement: 2.7 mpg, Percent Gained 19.57%"

Power and Motor Yachting
"... on our 43 ft Fairline with twin Volvo Penta 73Ps'the Fitch Fuel Catalyst (reduced soot on our transom. This is a solution to transom soot worth considering. It sure cleaned up our act"

Canadian Biker Magazine
"...I do know that the fuel problem that I was having cleared up after a tank of fuel and my gas mileage has improved since the installation of the Fitch.....Where else can you find that kind of horsepower, torque and fuel economy for that kind of money?"

American Homeowner
"After several months of hands-on testing, the Fitch Fuel Catalyst has made a noticeable improvement in our test engines, and we have no reservations about strongly endorsing it's use in anything that uses gasoline -- this is a product that really works and couldn't be easier to use"

Southern Boating
"There is no question as to the catalyst's ability to meet these claims"

Canadian Biker
"My bike is running just that much better with a Fitch Fuel Catalyst, supplied by PM Cycles Ltd. in Nova Scotia, just love that extra mileage!

Snow Tech Magazine
We're impressed with our experience with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. On a good warm day air cooled four strokes used to ping when loaded hard. The Fitch really makes a difference. They run clean and don't ping at all.

Feedback:
A number of readers have inquired about our ongoing experiences with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. We have used the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in a variety of gas powered machines from lawn mowers to snow blowers, ATV's, and dirtbikes including every gas can on site. We can tell our readers that every single engine this has been used in has started right up after several months of storage, and we have experienced zero fuel related issues. No foul smelling gas, no gummy carbs, no-fuel related problems whatsoever. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst keeps fuel at its optimal state."

Road and Rider Magazine
"I purchased a used Venture Royale several months ago in anticipation of a long anticipated cross country trip. When first riding my Venture, I was getting around 40 miles per gallon driving mostly 55 or a little under. I put in a Fitch Fuel Catalyst and after about 400 miles, rechecked my mileage and was consistently getting 50 miles per gallon at the same speeds.

Before leaving for my "Big Trip," my brother and I rode to Bike week at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and I had him put Fitch in his Yamaha 650 V Star. His normal mileage was 50 or so, but after driving to the Beach and around locally for a week, he got 60 miles per gallon coming home.

We have both put Fitch in our SUVs, and have noticed an improvement, but not as dramatic as the bikes. Here we noticed 5% improvement both in and out of town driving.

I do not care what the Rags are telling you, our cars and bikes think this stuff helps and I am not going to tell them otherwise.

Hot Rod Bikes
"We have tried the Fitch Fuel Catalyst many times and it really makes a difference.

The Fitch Fuel Catalyst cured a hot weather detonation problem on our Buell Cyclone.

Throttle response is more crisp. Fuel economy went from 120mpt (miles per 4gal tank) to 137mpt. 4+ more miles per gallon or over 10% more miles per dollar."

Easy Rider
"I tried the Fitch Fuel Catalyst on an EVO that has way more compression than it should. With Fitch the knock has all but disappeared under normal riding conditions. I left the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in a tank of gas that sat for over a year. Before starting the bike I popped the cap to smell the gas expecting the flat, varnish smell you usually get with old gas, but it smelled like it had just come from the pump. I believe the Fitch Fuel Catalyst lives up to at least two of the manufacturers claims."

Snow Tech Magazine
"We have been using the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in most every gasoline powered engine we own. We continue to experience nothing but fresh fuel and an elimination of fuel related problems with all of our seasonal equipment. Year after year, no green crap, no varnish, no gum, and the gas acts like it is still premium grade. Even after six months the fuel does not go stale, it actually seems to get better. Think of the Fitch as a 'Fuel Sentry' bacteria inhibitor, octane booster, and fuel stabilizer all in one."
