http://lessfuel.co.uk/

i`ve had a chat with him today (hes an old VOD member) and i`ve agreed to post a link on here, and i will send him a link.

give him an hour or so and he will register to answer any questions.

no way endorsed by me - just making options available.

Hello Everyone -  I'm the  Newbie on here  ;)

As Ged said, I have used other veg oiler forums before.

Have been using SVO and WVO since about 2005 - mainly in Mitsubishi pajero's - 2.5 and 2.8  and Delicas   and a Seat Alhambra 1.9 vw engine.

I tinkered with making bio, but now mainly use a filtered blend wvo / svo / derv / petrol/ 2 stroke / xft

I happened on Xft - Xtreme fuel treatment about 2 and a half years ago,  and now am the import point for it, and distribution depot  for the UK independant distributors of it.

It came from an industrial additive that has been used in heavy plant etc for 20+ years, but they moved into the domestic market in USA in 2008 and it came here in Uk in 2013

It is incredibly concentrated - 1ml treating 10 litres, so literally, a spoonful treats a tank.  Thus, A 120ml bottle treats 1200 litres


have a browse around my website - some links below, but also lots of other info on there :

UK results http://lessfuel.co.uk/xft-uk-results-and-testimonials/

Chemistry behind it http://lessfuel.co.uk/xft-ingredients/

The 6 tank challenge - best way to start using it http://lessfuel.co.uk/xft-6-tank-challenge/

Some non uk test cases - http://lessfuel.co.uk/test-cases/

Cost price is approx 4p per litre of treated fuel

Typical increase in mpg is in the range 10% - 30%   

Increased power

Less Emissions

Engine Protection

If anyone has any questions, fire away.

If anyone wants to try some I can sort out  a discount for members, just to cover costs, to try it.

I'm not sure how relevant it is to the Veg oil user market, especially if using free oil. But it should make it go 20% on average further.

the biggest market is for the usual dino buyers - it works in Petrol and Diesel, and it improves the quality - so, for example, folks can use supermarket cheap fuel, and get better results with Xft added than premium branded fuel.


cheers

Mark

There are additives that work so no snake oil remarks from me BUT to claim a 10 - 30% improvement in mpg?????

Around 5% I could believe.

Yea,  I've heard all the snake oil comments before,  ;D  and I'm actually a bit of a skeptic myself, but would normally try or test it before drawing my opinions, which is what I did with this. And yes, I agree James, a 10 - 30% claim is quite a lot - a lot of the  "bench tests" do tend to show a 7 - 8% improvement, but that is using a carbon mass balance test, whereas actual, in the field tests are more - apparently because the additive helps by a larger proportion at improving on the real world loads.

There are claims out there of even bigger gains !  But, I'd say, from what I've seen in the Uk - it averages out at about 20% and these have been sustained over time

All the UK testimonials in the link above are real ones, from independent users. 

In the end, I'm happy to let folks test it, there is a money-back guarantee which the USA company stands by. We don't want any "ideal world" type of testing - just a like-for like  from whatever benchmark average your vehicles does now.
