Default fitch fuel catalyst

Anyone know if the Fitch fuel catalyst really does what it claims? Mostly the mpg gains.

never heard of it. . .is it a fuel addative??? most likely raises Cetane levels of the fuel which Power Service/howes/Lucas does as well.

I have seen this on TV, never heard of them nor do I know of anyone who has. Very interesting ad though. I saw it on TRUCKS or HORSEPOWER TV. Here is the link:

Let me know if anyone has tried it.

Thanks!

Mike.

^^^ saw it too it was on horespower tv. It looks like a bottle almost like a filter that you splice into your fuel lines. It was kinda weird but it gained a few mpg when they were using it on their engine dyno with gm performance parts 350. Only like a few mpg but the biggest thing was that it allowed lower octance fuels to be used in higher performance engines. pretty neat.

They just had a write up on it (or something similar) in Diesel Power magazine.

well they claim 500'000miles durability
but 2more mile on 20 mpg(theorical) at 3$/gallon =0.0136$ saving a mile
u must go 22058miles before gaining anything
so if u run 500'000 miles whit it ud save 6500$
