The oil companies would bite your hands off if you offered it to them,either to prevent the competition from getting hold of it or to make their own products more saleable and profitable. If your product is that good then why don't you market it yourself ?? If you can prove your figures there would be no shortage of offers.

Hi Terriers
Well I confirmed with them and they said its indeed the Inlet Manifold Gasket which is leaking. How much should anyone be charging for this?
And, do you think the symptoms point to the Inlet Manifold Gasket?
- Heater not blowing hot air
- Coolant getting emptied within driving 20 miles
- Engine overheating - reaching red
- Significant white smoke coming out of exhaust
What would really be the difference in symptoms between a head gasket problem and an inlet manifold gasket problem?
Thanks in advance.

Well personally I've never heard of an inlet manifold leaking, ask the garage exactly where the water is coming from.
The symptoms are those of a blown head gasket, I would get a second opinion, it shouldn't cost you for a quote.

Hi Terriers, fortunately the inventor of the fuel catalyst refused, in spite of threats, to sell his formula,which is why it is still available today.
As an agent in Cornwall, I have done almost 400 fittments since Feb 2000 in virtually any car you can think of from 2CV's to monster 7 ltr.V8's. I am a fully qualified automotive engineer and an engine tuning specialist plus a fuel technologist with 40+ years experiance. I haven't got time to waste on things that don't work. It's because these tin pellets make such a profound difference, I reccomend and fit them.
I have some more proof for you, a 1999 Mini Cooper, on the dyno before fitting gave 60.1 bhp, 59 lb ft torque and 45.6 bhp at the road wheels. One month after fitting the fuel catalyst in the tank and NO other work done on this car, the new figures on the same dyno were 70 bhp, up 17%, 71 lb ft torque, up 20% and 56.1 bhp at the wheels, up by 25%!
This was achieved for a fitted cost of just £70. The delighted owner has since told his friends and I am busily helping them get more for less

Sorry, but I need more proof than a testimony from someone who is making money selling it. You're not going to knock it are you !! Show me some proof from controlled testing in the UK.

Hi BrianM, I am interested in your wear and fuel saving device and would like to know more. Please tell me all about it ! I like helping owners get more for less.
What's happening with the hydrogen fuel cell that Honda are working on?

Try the DTI test results. Why are you so sceptical ? Try to be more open minded. Check out what Barry Sheen or Jack Brabbam had to say as they both used the fuel catalysts. Also Andy Seargent ex British Off Road champion, He can give you all the evidence you seek.

What's the point in wasting time with you, when there are so many others who are going for it AND getting the real benefits.

"Check out what Barry Sheen or Jack Brabbam had to say as they both used the fuel catalysts"..... So they were not paid for there time in any way ?
If I remember correctly Barry Sheen also promoted Brut, need I say more !!
I have had a quick look at the DTi (now BERR) website but nothing came up, perhaps you could send me a link, I don't shut the door on new ideas, just like to know what they are about, most of them are all hype and Bull****

>>What's the point in wasting time with you
Terriers questions were exactly what I would ask,kinda proves the product like so many others are a waste of space if they cannot be proven to work and shown to work in the way you explained.you also miss the fact that someone who knows it works as proven could be in a position to make a lot more sales,but an attitude like yours pushey and not able to prove it works apart from heresay, only suggests you are interested in sales and not the actual product

hi, are you sure that your car is really over-heating? thought it might just be an instrument problem.

Hi. Could be a circulation problem or the fan not cutting in.

Hi, I have an S reg Rover 416i and I'm having a problem with the coolant system. I have hot air coming into the car, no problem with the heating working. But when the engine gets up to operating temp the water starts to blow back into the expansion tank through the top pipe where it bubbles boils and steams off. Top and bottom radiator hoses hot - water is circulating. No sludge under oil filler cap, oil is clean and fine. Exhaust smoke seems ok. The strange thing is that if I keep the heater blowing it doesn't happen, if I turn the heater off - hey presto - the steaming starts again! originally the heating wasn't working but that has rectified itself. Obviously it looses it's water when it blows back and boils off. The temp guage stays at middle & doesn't rise, fan doesn't kick in - but have shorted and know works. If I bypass the fan thermostat & run car with fan going from start off - that also stops the problem. The radiator is cool on outer sides but warm in middle. HELP - I'm really stuck with this one and want to rectify quick before having to run it with this problem results in serious damage THANKS!!!!

Hi. It still sounds like either an air lock or circulation problem, check the top return pipe to the expansion tank and the ball bearing.
Check / replace the thermostat and water pump.
Have a look through previous posts as all these items have beed addressed before.

if the fan is not cutting in then you will have this problem. You should replace the fan temp switch & this should fix it.

J K A, If you can't get it to bleed then drive it around the block with the cap off & the heater on. this works every time. Stop & check, top up until air lock passed.
If you have a steady stream of bubbles then either the head is cracked or head gasket has failed.
