Does anybody really know what is in Amsoil PI and why it is so pricy (by fluid oz. not treat rate). Their MSDS shows that it mainly medium Naphtha. Is there something special about this stuff? I’ve been using it for about a year now. I have no idea if it really works as advertised. Is anyone informed about this. Molekule…Terry…
Amsoil PI. What is it really???

Thanks guys. Not to be overly cynical here, but are these products being used/recommended for their efficacy or because of site sponsorship? Not being a smarta$$…and I have no problem with candid answers or the flagrant influences and motivation of capitalism.
I can tell you this, as far as effeciency of the product. 1 oz per 10 gallons sure beats what the treat rate for techron is. I don't know about the site sponsorship deal, as happen to be one, also the others that do contribute to this are so market by their names when they post.
As far as what's in it, I don't know. I had a friend who works at ethyl but she wouldn't analyize it. I wondered if it had some MMT in it.

Guys I'm not a fuels expert, I'm just telling you my opinion, not an ad for any product.
Once I discovered Fuel Power and tried it, I've been using it in everything here with a engine( diesel or gas).
1 oz to 5 gallons. Cost is about $20 a gallon.
email me for Odis Beavers #.
I was hoping for someone to sell the stuff and become a site supporter.
Nuetra is a safe fuel treatment for cleaning but I like the MPG and small octane boost with the FP.
Amsoil, Redline, Techron are safe fuel adds but are too expensive IMHO and must be used constantly to see any cleaning effect.

Thanks for the replies. I've seen a product here on the West Coast called Fuel Power sold in 8-10 oz containers at truck stops. Is this the same product? There is some wild claim on the bottle that it can treat 280 gallons of fuel.
It must be a different product as the FP Terry is talking about recommends 1 oz /5 gal of fuel. So 10 oz would treat 50 gallons.

Like most fuel additives, it is a combination of hydrocarbon solvents in a light (2 cSt) oil base.
Why the cost? Ask Al.

MolaKule--what would you use that is readily available??? I have some Neutra...any good?

From what I understand, Neutra works very well at keeping the fuel system clean. Add a small regular dose with each tankful of gas. I'm currently using a treatment rate of about 1oz per 3-4 gallons. I'm not sure what others use for their maintenance rates though, I just started using the stuff regularily myself.

I alternate between Neutra and Fuel Power and use a treatment rate of 1 oz. per 10 gallons.

I have used both Neutra and Fuel Power. I do not sell either. I did do some testing on Fuel Power and found it to be a fully formulated fuel system cleaner, a fuel system lubricator, and an mpg extender.
Neutra is great for keeping fuel systems clean, combustion chambers clean, and has minor lubricating qualities.

I wonder it this is the stuff I see at truck stops?
Terry, Thanks. I emailed a couple weeks ago and you sent me Otis' number. I'll have to give him a ring and get some of that elixer mailed to me here in Cali-forn-ia.

Mike,
Ethanol will raise the octane a bit but the Fuel Power from the left coast is definately not the Fuel Power from Texas.

I get paid to test not sell. I torque off everyone equally based on product performance observed, period.
I'm not sure if the Fuel Power on the west coast is the same. I doubt it. Odis sells the stuff in 1/2 gallon and 1 gallon containers. Nothing smaller. He makes and ships out of Lewisville Texas. Email me for his # and ask him.

According to Fuel Power's web site, it consists of 98% ethanol, and the remaining 2% proprietary additives. I've always heard, and had some experience with, alcohol reducing mileage, not the opposite. And at the rate of 2% of 1 oz. per 5 gallons, the additives are pretty miniscule to affect power/gas mileage. I am dubious.
