Here's a quote from a starbrite exec on the fuel issue regarding the fuel additive.
“At the end of the boating season last year, we were getting fifty to sixty calls a day from boat owners in the Northeast and Midwest complaining about gummy, gooey substances clogging the surfaces of their fuel/water separators,” says Jeff Tieger, vice president of sales for Star brite. “It was gelling because of ethanol. Ethanol in alcohol-enhanced fuels acts as a coupler between hydrocarbons and water. When you have early or late-season temperature fluctuation in tanks, and fuel stays stored for long stretches of time, gelling takes place.”
It seems to me there are so many guesses out there it disapoints me considering the technology we have relating to testing that a conclusive answer has not been discovered.
Considering any additives, most reviews in magazines are paid advertisements.
Very rare does a mag article provide a chart of test procedures indicating wheather the product does what it says and does not react with other elements in the engine.
If enzymes reduce emissions by 90% as they claim, you bet the EPA would have mandated that the product be added to gasoline at the distributor level where all the additives are added before delivery to the local stations.
