Well to continue, in my experience the too thin mixture makes the engine "not work too long"  in other words, go bang. This happens in the long run, when the mixture is a bit wrong, naturally this happens due to a fault, like a leak in the intake for the engine, after the air-volume-meter. But i could see this happening with this additive too. |
Well it doesn't cheat sensors as it works on two stroke lawn mowers without any sensors. I guess that the increased octane/cetane rating is one of the keys. But increased octane rating is one thing, there is something there which creates a micro coating inside the chamber, the spark plugs are clean compared to the "pill free" mode (looked on the Volvo only).
Going bang is the least concern as the product is EPA certified not to harm the engine plus the company offers a six digit insurance is something happens. So it's either a placebo or they are damn sure about it's qualities. The
PDF form the Ministry is a good read in this respect.
Anyway the FFi Saga continues...
