I'm not sure about that but if you drink enough of it you might run like a Deer!

On Diesel Place this is a really debated topic with a reseller on there. As a matter of fact I was told I was critizing the product and supporting vendor because I asked some questions.

Question One: If one bottle has the energy of 25 gallons of diesel, why aren't we building an engine to run on the stuff. And how can it be shipped via UPS?

One of the other claims by the reseller is that it was sold to a trucking company that claimed their milage went from 3 to 5 mpg to 8 mpg. A 62.5% increase.

Personally I don't have much belief in the product until independant lab tests are conducted.

As much as I like OCC, they are barely out of bankruptcy, and when probably endorse rejuvenation cream to keep afloat.

So, do they have diesel choppers now?

I searched their site and the internet and could find no 'independent' test data to support their claims. I'm surprised they didn't have it independently tested before they put on such a media blitz (unless it wouldn't support their claims). They must have gotten a bunch of venture capitol money to promote this product and rushed it to market. I'll wait to see the data. Still trying to keep a somewhat open mind.

Well the website lists an executive team of three members. All marketing and sales specialists. The last one on the list, Christina (can't be a day over 25) has an automotive background. Yet all of her professional experience is with marketing.

Add a formal NFL star and a politiacian and you've got a winning combo there!

I'd buy some but I have my savings tied up in Prolong Engine Treatment....

That was kinda my point, it all seems like smoke and mirrors. Acouple of outlandish claims that can't be proven by the general public becaue of the expense.

I've been tempted to try a couple of bottles, but the last distributor I met kind of ticked me off. His backing the company line seemed to keep getting larger and larger every second.

Been owning/operating my own big rig for about 18yrs. Never use additives on a regular basis. IMO, if it'll do what it says, the fuel companies would be putting it in their tanks and selling the diesel at an even higher premium. Talked to many a rep from motor companies, tell me to save my money. I will use a qt of powerservice in each tank, if i get a big temp swing(20 above to -30). Just a little extra insurance, for i do a lot of night running, on back roads. Keep a gallon of 911 with me. Still have it after 5yrs or so.

Not saying it won't work, but it would have to be tried out on an unsuspecting driver for about a month(10,000 miles) of running. Then put a pencil to the mileage figures. Best thing to keep performance, mileage, and overall costs down is to change fuel and air filters on a regular basis.
