611.15	Any news?	SUBURB::SAXBYM	Really Manic Information Centre	`Mon Oct 22 1990 12:51`	9
	Any updated reports on Carbonflo? Has it wrecked your wife's engine, John? Have any of the long term tests by those magazines testing it borne fruit? Mark
611.16	Carbonflo in Landrover V8 ?	MCGRUE::FRENCHS	Semper in excernere	`Fri May 24 1991 17:25`	12
	I saw one of these last night. Seven half moon shaped lumps of tin and some thing alloy. Theye were inside a metal cage tube. Don't know what the cage was made of. The makers are going to send me the info. I am also very scepticel. The guy I was talking to phoned them up. They have even used this thing in ally. block V8 rover engines. If it can be proved to me that it won't wreck the engine I could be tempted, even at �75. The guy was going to put it into his Pug 309 which he said also had an ally engine. Do we have any more info regarding this little fellow. Simon
611.17	Carbon Flo info.	MCGRUE::FRENCHS	Semper in excernere	`Wed Jun 05 1991 11:16`	4
	I know have the info from the makers of Carnon Flo. If anyone is interested come and see me in G2 by the coffee machine. Simon
611.18	FUEL-CAT now installed	TRMPTN::FRENCHS	Semper in excernere	`Thu Jan 09 1992 10:07`	12
	I have now istalled an identical item called fuel-cat. I have only done about 80 miles since having it installed. The big differecne is price. Fuel-cat cost me �35 as opposed to the �75 that carbonflo charge. It may be cheaper to stick with leaded instead of going to unleaded, it all depends on the MPG increase. I have a couple of information leaflets if anyone wants one. I'll let you know how it goes. Simon

	Extracted without permission from Autocar & Motor 12 May page 9 Carbonflo UK Ltd, the manufacturers of a product that allegedly cuts exhaust emissions and increases fuel economy, has pleaded guilty to two counts of false trade description. Trading standards officers in Walsall, West Midlands, brought the case after research showed that tin alloy pellets encased in a metal gauze failed to live up to promises.
