Does anyone know what is in it? I just bought a couple of bottles and put one in the tank when I filled up. At 5 bucks a bottle I doubt it will have any PEA content but what I did notice was it contains 74% hydrocarbons (probably the additive carrier like kerosene or similar) where as the cheap off brand injector cleaners are around 95% hydrocarbons and only 5% something else, probably red dye!
I plan to run both bottles back to back with the next bottle going in the next tank which will be sometime next week. I will see if I notice any differences from the first bottle, hopefully in starting which it says it helps. I have a very hard cold start for some reason (seems like a fuel delivery issue) but there after it runs perfect, warm starts are fine too.

Erm when it hasn't been driven for a while and the engine is cold... And it gets below 0c in winter even here in coastal Queensland. Then it has a starting issue, yes its currently summer so the nights are around 15c but thats still cold enought to give it problems recently.
Last winter when I was at Thredbo ski fields, it was -15c one morning (wow you mean Australia isn't one massive beach/desert?!) I was worried it wouldn't start with 15w40 in but it started up perfect! Around 7 months later and 30c warmer with 10w30 in and it stuggles to start when 'cold'
It sounds like a fuel delivery issue so I'm going to see if this stuff helps, was just curious as to whether anyone has used it or knows anything about it
