Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a device that you can install permanently to your car to improve fuel economy and engine performance, while reducing emissions and engine maintenance all at the same time. Fitch Fuel Catalyst can be used on all types of fuel may it be gas, diesel, bio-diesel, low sulfur diesel, kerosene or oil and individually improves its quality by increasing cetane and lubricity in diesel or octane in gasoline for example, thereby increasing horsepower and torque for maximum engine performance and efficiency. Fitch Fuel Catalyst works by reducing the oxygen, ozone and microorganisms harbouring on your fuel preventing and reversing degradation from storage. This process places fuel in its optimal condition right before it is introduced to the engine, enhancing combustion to guarantee a more powerful, stable and consistent engine performance.

Fitch Fuel Catalyst was created by race car driver, road crash barrier designer and inventor, Mr. John C. Fitch, with a research agreement with the Department of Defense so that normal fuels used by the military will be transformed into superior quality fuels after passing through the Fitch Fuel Catalyst metal alloy. This means extra power, better fuel economy by up to 1 to 2.5 MPG and reduced emissions, as well as lower maintenance costs for the consumer by keeping the injectors, jets and spark plugs cleaner and reducing the carbon deposited in the engine making for less oil changes and extending engine life. Fitch Fuel Catalyst also saves you money by letting you run on a lower octane gas than what is required without sacrificing performance. It is also easy to install by simply bolting it right in under the hood. Moreover, not only is Fitch Fuel Catalyst maintenance-free, but it is also backed with a 250,000 mile warranty delivering better value for your money.

There are varied views about the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. According to http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/05/26/008747.html, a study done by the University of Connecticut and published in the American Chemical Society’s Langmuir Journal in November of 2005 concluded that Fitch Fuel Catalyst indeed lowered bacteria in fuel, thus increasing performance and fuel economy. On the other hand, according to http://www.fuelsaving.info/catalysts.htm, the Australian motoring organization NRMA tested the product in February 2008 and noticed no benefit in both emissions or fuel consumption. Fitch Fuel Catalyst enthusiasts argue that a flaw during installation or conditioning may have happened to invalidate the results.

As for the consumers, there are a few sceptics claiming the technology is scientifically impossible and it is just a gimmick because “Catalization of hydrocarbon fuels can only occur with heat and pressure, as well as a storage device to allow particle transfer. Simple tin infusion in no way effects the fuel with any beneficial results.” There is also a user who claimed it only worked for a short time but later made it run poorly. Another user also had a problem with the installation of the product because the kit wasn’t made specifically for his 1995 GMC K1500, although it made his old truck run from 18 MPG to 16 MPG. He said the instructions given were inconsistent with the online version. Someone also claims the clamps holding the rubber hoses to the fittings came lose not long after installation causing fuel to leak everywhere. This left him stranded and ended up buying clamps to hold the device in. Despite this, there were also some supporters at the message boards claiming Fitch Fuel Catalyst actually gave them better fuel mileage and power. A user claimed he got 1 MPG better and more power than before. Another user claimed he has been using the product for the past 4 years on his cruiser and it has helped him save a lot of money on fuel by giving him 8.7 km/gallon instead of 7.4 it previously gave him. Someone also mentioned an episode of a show called Muscle Car wherein Fitch Fuel Catalyst was tested on a Dodge Diesel. He said it gave them a .7 MPG increase over 5-6 tanks of fuel. A user also claimed he installed the product on his Audi and Infiniti and it made him go from a high grade to midgrade fuel with no mileage and performance decrease. He also said the tail pipes “went from dirty carbon to shiny metal in about 5000 miles of Fitch use”, making him believe that the product is really working.
