The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Fitch Fuel Catalyst

I was just reading about the Seafoam topic and was wondering if anyone has tried fitch fuel catalyst. It's supposed to be mounted in the engine bay near your intake but away from heat. the web site claims it re-refines your fuel giving you the points it had at the refinery. Supposely gas looses points in transit. Stuff is pricey $$$ though. I was qouted $300 for SBC 350.

Sounds like bs to me, $300 can buy a whole lot of high octane fuel.

P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute!" W.C. Fields said "Never give a sucker an even break!". Both quotes apply to practically every fuel saver gimmick ever offered for sale. The best fuel conservation device ever invented is connected to the bottom of your right leg!

Interesting thing is now Summit Racing is selling these with no experience to back it and Horsepower TV is endorsing it also.
Now I do use Evans Cooling NPG+ coolant. It's straight coolant no water with a boiling point of 375 degrees. It's supposed to eliminate all hot spots in the engine. Seems to work well. Wear life of 10 years/ 100,000 miles. Pricey but I think it worth it. A gal.--$25, 5 gal. or more--$22.50 and so on. Radiator cap psi is 0-7 lbs.

Dave, try it and let us know how it works. Who would have believed, 95 years we could watch little people on a box in our living room? Just think, water will burn if you separate the hydrogen and oxygen. That's the invention I'm waiting on.

BIG CHEVY, Horsepower TV did an episode with the Fitch. They dyno-ed an engine with and without the catalyst hooked up on both regular and premium gas to check the gains of hp and torque. It seems better with it on regular gas. Might be affordable now, they're saying prices starting at $129.. I talked to someone from the company when it first came out and then it started at $300..
Now it might be worth it.

BIG CHEVY, here's another invention for you. A company in France has a vehicle that runs on compressed air. The guy tried the big three and was told not to pursue it any further. www.theaircar.com
just go to the gas station, but for CO2. Talk about no pollution.

Help me out here... if CO2 is the primary villain in global warming how is a car that runs on CO2 helping reduce pollution?

There must be pollution wherever the power is made that it takes to compress that air to start with, either diesel or electric, or???
There is no free lunch, a compressed air car still has emissions (don't know what % of a regular car?) they are just in a different place from where the car is driven.

Ok, I wrote CO2. Mistake I was tired. The idea is that the vehicle runs entirely on compressed air. So,the fluids will stay cleaner. Yes, it is fairly ugly. No gas or diesel. Probably never see it here being that the Big 3 controll everything that is not green related. I worked in germany after I got out of the Army over there as a mechanic for VW/AUDI. There are cars that still haven't made it over here. Back in the early '90's they were working on Green vehicles that still aren't here. Never will .

$300 = a lot of high octane fuel???? Not anymore!!!
