David/Egil
Interesting
You are a satisfied customer and Egil thinks it can't possibly work.
Can you detail exactly what you found it did for your car and if you have any
data to back it up e.g. increase in power or mileage and if you have measured
your valve seat wear etc..
I am always interested when someone who is independent supports a product and
actually uses it, but I am also a sceptic like Egil.
I would love it to be correct as I could use one soon, as leaded petrol will
disappear here next year, but don't want to throw away money.
