Or the round ones?

well seeing as it not soluble in petrol no it's crap, if you fit it and get away with it it's totaly down to the engines lead memory or the fact it's an old engine and just will take the hammering IE not a pussy who explodes at the first sign of a problem

 

I fitted a bag in a transit, weighed it ran it for a year and the weighed it again, weighed the same and i weighed it on gold/puff scales for acurate to 10ths of a gramm NOT the wifes kitchen scales

1 million insurance and 6000 mile no quible return

 

give it a shot

 

maybe theres something in it

 

i see this advertised in me mates classic van mags all the time

 

think my bro was looking at giving it a shot

But how would you know it was working untill your valves melted?

they do an inline fuel version but becarefull as we tried one on my mates old 2l laser and it will go through fuel filters like no tomorrow

there you go, looks like proof it's crap to me. No motoring mag or programme has ever proved these things are any good. No use saying they will refund your money, are they gonna buy and fit new valve seats for you? Somehow I think not. Just stick the additive in and don't waste your money on these gimmicks.

Why would it have to dissolve?

did it work?

 

would be interesting to know if anyone has any hard evidence on them

Why would it have to dissolve?

 

how else would it get to the valve seats?

if it actually does work (doubt it) but i would have said the metal would be some sort of special alloy that causes a reaction in the fuel or something?

Ive been told of "lead lines" a fuel line into the carb with lead pellets in it that the petrol washes over thus turning it into leaded petrol do they exist? If so are they any good or will they kill fuel fillters to?

Exactly it's a catalyst... it causes a reaction. it's not a soluble.
