Interesting.... hadn't come across tpx before, thanks for posting.

They look to be San Diego based.... this might have originally been develloped for the military.
They talk about "a high-count of oxygen molecules" in their products..... gotta cogitate on that a bit.... makes sense for combustion, but you normally want to reduce oxidation for storage.
Not a criticism of the product.... just me scratching my head...... :scratchchin:

Bio is supposed to add lubricity to diesel fuel. I used to see stickers on all diesel pumps that said bio was added but it seems like they've been removed from the stations I use. I add Motorcraft PM 22 to my tank when I fuel to increase cetane and add lubricity.

Some people like taking vitamins for themselves and pouring exotic elixirs in to their machinery. It's some kind of thinking where it's an easy no effort way to obtain great gains with little expense. Pop this pill and grow big muscles fast and look like Arnold Schwarzenegger
The only potions, witchcraft and sorcery to pour into a machine is. A oil seal swelling for old high hour equipment. IPA to absorb water from fuel. And waterglass to limp a machine leaking coolant back to the shop.

I have been using it in my diesel truck and tractor, and I also use their gasoline additive in my other vehicles, I was skeptical at first but I have to admit that I am impressed so far, definitely not snake oil. They have several videos on you tube that demonstrate their product,and they actually do a side by side comparison with a petroleum based additive.....wow . just my .02

I have seen it gel much easier with Bio vs strait diesel here. I got talked into 10% one time, 300 gallons of it. I learned my lesson.

we dont have gelling issues here in Texas to worry about. The Bio adds lubricity.

Found the quart today at a door we do not normally use so it came fast. Not sure at $0.16 per gallon to treat if it will be worth it but does work for gas or diesel and I wanted to try it since we got a gallon of AR9100 to treat engines but so not have any engines with stiction issues which is a common reason people by it.
