Catalysts

[mick88]

Does anyone know any thing about the use of catalysts in the fuel tank to correct unleaded fuel and make things run better?
I picked up a bit of info about them at a Land Rover weekend in Blinman (SA) last weekend, but would like to know more, especially if someone has had experience with them.

I don't know about catalysts, but I add an upper cyliner lubricant to my fuel. Flashlube is the product I use, I believe penrite have a similar product along with other companies. i've never had any problem.

I am already using "flashlube" and have also used ATF at a rate of 100mls per 20 litres..but I am told these catalysts are supposed to be the ants pants.

I've heard various pros and cons for in tank catylists and inline fuel cats, but I decided to stick with what I know works.

I have a catalyst in the fuel tank of my motorcycle.
When I tested it, it appeared to give me an increase in economy of 5-6%, much to my surprise. BUT its pretty hard to really determine whether you get an improvement a s even over the same route every day traffic density changes etc.

I decided not to put them in my Rangie on the basis that it would cost about $300 for the correct size and it would take years for payback on that basis.
