THE GASOLINE ADDITIVE TEST
This was done at the Queensland (Aus) Technical College on a test-bed dynamometer, using a 202 cid Holden inline 6 cylinder engine, and running BP 97 Octane Super Unleaded Fuel. Procedure was as follows:

1. Doing a compression test, recording the readings
2. Removing the cylinder head, measuring the depth of combustion chamber and piston head carbon deposits, calculating the average depth, and recording the result.
3. Ran a standard dyno test. This consists of applying a hydrostatic load to the engine at full throttle, setting the rpm at 500 rpm increments by varying the load , taking torque and hp readings at each step from 1000 to 4000 rpm, and recording the readings at each stage.
4. Ran a "cleaning phase", (the engine was a well-used school training unit) using a double dose of gas additive for 8 hours at varying loads.
5. Then they repeated the standard dyno test, again recording the readings.
6. They then did a second compression test, recording the readings, followed by
7. Removing the cylinder head once again, and measuring the depth of the combustion chamber carbon deposits, and once again calculating and recording the average reading.
Readings were as follows:

Measurement Before After Difference Improvement (%)
Compression Readings (Avg) 154 235 181 +17.15%
Combustion Chamber Deposits (mm) 1.4 .35 1.05 -75%
Torque - Ft Lbs (Avg) 111 115.2 4.2 +3.78%
CO Output - ppm 2.325 1.200 1.125 -48% (!)

Horsepower (Avg) 44.8 46.8 2.0 CHECK
Peak HP 64.0 70.0 6.0 +12.2%
Fuel Flow (#/hr) 30.3 26.2 4.1 -13.53%
Cylinder Pressure (avg) 87.4 90.56 3.15 +3.6%
Specific Fuel Consumption .704 .566 .138 -19.6%
Thermal Efficiency (%) 18.82 23.32 4.5 +23.9%
Spark Plug Firing Voltage X 1000 11.0 10.0 1.0 -9%

Whuzzat Say?
For those of you who don't like charts much, let me reiterate on the main points:

49% Less CO2!

A 20% Decrease in Fuel Consumption!
51% less hydrocarbon emissions!
10% More Max Horsepower!

Reduced Plug Firing Voltage - the mixture ignites more easily
Increased Compression - the detergents have cleaned out the piston ring lands, improving ring action
Thermal Efficiency Increase Means Less Overheating Problems

- and don't forget the added benefits:

improved water handling
top end lubrication

fuel system cleaning
increased storage stability
