1697.0. "XFE/PRO-TEC" by BAHTAT::ANDERSON_E (its going to happen in kololi) Mon Feb 17 1992 13:41

    I have just seen a brochure by Powergard Marketing Ltd. saying. amongst
    others that if this XFE (eXtra Fuel Efficiency) is fitted to your car,
    not only does is improve the fuel economy and power output, but it lets
    the car run "green". IE it reduces CO and NOX etc etc. It is a thinggy
    which one fits into the fuel line and then you forget about it.
    Combined with PRO-TEC (Total Engine Care), this reduces engine friction
    etc etc. 
    
    Do any of you noters know anything about these products or has anyone
    got any experience of these?
    
    As you can gather, I am a car illiterate, apart from putting petrol in
    it and driving. But I will like to save money on petrol, if I can!!
    
    MOD: Please move this if its already under discussion somewhere
    else.Honest I could not find it

    Yet another gadget that cannot be as good as it's advertising claims.
    
    If it were, don't you think *all* manufacturers would fit them ?

1697.2Read AutoexpressBLKPUD::WILLIAMSHWed Feb 19 1992 12:3512
    Don't know if it's a similar product. but in this week's autoexpress
    they are testing various 'green' gadgets. They test one from Powerplus
    LTD and its a 'thingy' to put into the fuel line. apparently it uses
    an electromagnetic field that stabilises the fuel molecules, enabling
    better oxygen bonding and a more complete burn of the mixture.
    
    Auto-express fitted this to a 1.8 sierra and the top speed went down
    2mph, fuel economy stayed the same and CO emission increased 100%.
    
    And they charge �90 for this gadget!
