Fuel Right

Yep, sounds too good to be true !!
A few ml per tank ? If only it was that easy.

If it is either so good or necessary the fuel companies would be using it.

The main ingrediant in this sort of stuff is the ability to lighten suckers wallets.

Unsurprising it has great testimonials.......If they write them themselves which is not unheard of.

I couldn't help but notice the question about the word "rite".

"rite" is a noun and means a religious or other solemn ceremony or act.

Right was correct. Google gave Fuel Rite as a USA company with something to do with air conditioners.

Testimonials are what you use when there is no scientific evidence to back your claim. Usually because the science would not support you.

Buy a bottle and do your own measurements.

Fuel used to come with stabilisers. No longer. I add some for winter engine storage. Means the stale fuel doesn't have to be drained and responsibly disposed of.

There are aftermarket fuel additives that are valid and have proven effects.
But good well proven fuel additives are the exception rather than the rule.
In general there are different reasons why we put additives in different fuels.

Petrol these days has a short shelf life ..... normal unleaded is 90 days .... there ARE proven valid fuel preservatives on the market.

Some petrol additives are octain improvers, valve lubricants and fuel system cleaners ...... there are well known and proven examples ..... there are also well known snake oil products.

Diesel has a well known problem with biological contamination commonly known as "Diesel bug" .... there are known proven diesel treatments for this problem .... arguably the best is "Fuel Doctor".

Water in fuel is a known problem ....... in petrol adding alcahol has long been a proven solution. ...... all reputable diesel vehicles have water traps for this reason.

Fuel doctor claims ( reasonably) to deal with some water contamination.
It is argues that diesel vehicles can benifit from a fuel additive ........

one european test showed that the vast majority of diesel treatments on the market did bugger all and of the remainder only a handfull worked better than 2 stroke oil.

Personally in an old school mechanical injector pump diesel I have been running 2 stroke for years ..... and yes it is clear it works.
I run fuel doctor around once a year to clean up any diesel bug that may be lurking

As far as general purpose fuel additives ...... Fuel Doctor seems to be the only one with any real solid credibility ....... After testing it Castrol where forced to admit that their previous house brand diesel fuel addtive was ineffective and started selling Fuel Doctor rebranded .... Castrol later baught Fuel Doctors.

The internet is wonderful ...... if there is good documented research it will be posted on the internet ..... there are some very good european forums where all sorts of additives get a good hammering often by well qualifuied people.

Before you use any additive do a search on it ..... "Bob is the oil guy" site and its associated forum is a good place to start.
cheers

Thanks all for the replies everyone, I know there is heaps of stuff about additives, was just seeing what the general feelings were, and if anyone had given this product a go.. First hand.. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.. Cheers guys.. Odog

Out of curiosity I looked at the fuel right web site ......... from that it seems to be a fair thing.
Its pretty much a Glycol ether bassed product that will have a typical blend of diesel additives .... lubricity improver, detergent, anti waxing and anti gelling compound.

The language on the site is reasonable and credible and the business is operated by a chemist who is prepared to put his name and credentials on the bottom.

I expect it will be a similar product to Fuel Doctor.

cheers
