    I was able to set my carbs to the leaner side got no flat spots, can feel a difference.
    Its been about since WWII.
    The RS guys use it if there's one on boards to note there findings.
    I have also found my engine run cooler.
    It also can act as an LRP.:)
    www.fuelcat.co.uk

    '69 - no offence but the fuelcat is pure snake oil. How does it boost octane? All requests to the company to explain how the product works have been met with a stoic silence.

    If there was a way to boost the octane of fuel through an inert chemical process, the manufacturers would be using it by now.

    ds its possible that it does not boost octane but has improved my mpg cleaned my engine out improved idle and responsiveness [also gave a lower temp reading now which may be coincidence.] Which 98s meant to do so either way it seems better for it.:)
    So even if its just a filter I'm happy with it:D

    '69 - don't get me wrong, I'm not making any judgement of you or your car. This product drives me nuts though.

    It doesn't add lead, or anything else to the fuel. When you say it's "cleaned my engine out" is it that the emissions are leaner or that your engine is physically cleaner? Setting your timing properly will account for the idle, responsiveness and lower temp. When you fitted the fuelcat, did you reset the timing?

    If you're happy with it, great - far be it from me to say you're wrong. But I certainly wouldn't lend these guys any credibility. That's a helluffa expensive fuel filter.

    No I had my doubts too.
    Timing set the same (electronic not points)
    plugs nice and tan.
    been keeping an eye on mixture with a colour tune (also the idle started to raise)
    Oil very black on removal but so far new stuff still looks good.
    was hunting a bit now sits a 600rpm
    MPG up
    Have it since march so really still early days.:)

    It's funny when a small company can produce a product that goes against the laws of physics and outsmarts multi billion corporations spending huge amounts of money on research :D

    Edit: Ontopic: If you really need a higher octane fuel modify your car to run on E85, it has an octane rating of 105ish ron.
