Hey guys,
I just made this post in the "Oil Additive" section, but from an earlier post on that thread, the whole thread should've been started here on the "Fuel Additive" section.
Early discussion about VISCON on BITOG
Anyway, someone had brought back the thread today before I did about the Viscon Fuel Additive.
Here's what I posted there:
I was going to do a right up titled "Viscon; The Holy Grail of Fuel Additives????" and then post this threads link for everyone to reference to along with the early discussions about Viscon on BITOG and some other sites....oh well.
I just didn't post anything up here because I wanted to go back through my e-mails I had with the owner of Viscon regarding the old distributors and some controversy with one of them who was selling their additive along with questionable business practices since they were packaging it themselves, but from what he said, "Retail" was never his goal because of all the snake oils and the major investment to try and market it with 100's of products on the Parts Stores shelves, so he always concentrated and mainstreamed this additive for years to the industrial diesel fuel markets. It was a good story, and I couldn't believe I was actually talking to the Pres. of the company but this stuff turned out to be substantially genuine.
From what I remember about the phone conversation I had with the owner of Viscon, he gave me a real education of what he was trying to achieve for over 10 yrs. and his goal was to get Calif. to require all diesel fuel to add Viscon at the fuel depot rack. I think he said it would be a miracle if it happened let alone required to be added to all gasoline also at the fuel rack. From what I remember, it was a huge amount of "Red Tape" this guy was dealing with, and I, and even he figured he'd never get the C.A.R.B. approval.
Looks like he finally got his approval as the "Only" fuel additive in the industry approved by the "California Air Resource Board" which is supposed to be substantially significant.....!

Pretty exciting......I wonder if we should all buy stock in this company!
I always wanted to try this stuff, but my cars are too screwed up now! Maybe it'll save me some "Moolah" on my 91' Brougham because my 3-4 band has been burned up for a year and I drive around town with only 1st and 2nd! At least my coast band isn't holding in this 700R4 trans. so I can leave off the throttle w/o any trans breaking.
Now I need to find an additive to restore my 3-4 band!
I just realized this thread was in the "Oil Additive" section. Maybe I'll start a new thread in the "Fuel Additive" section............
Regards,
Chris
