Chef, with conventional injector cleaners running $10-15 per pint, I guess $44 should buy you at least a quart of something better.

Their reference to "40 CFR 79.24" comes back as:

[Code of Federal Regulations]
[Title 40, Volume 13]
[Revised as of July 1, 2001]
From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access
[CITE: 40CFR79.24]
[Page 475]

TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)

PART 79--REGISTRATION OF FUELS AND FUEL ADDITIVES--Table of Contents
Subpart C--Additive Registration Procedures
Sec. 79.24 Termination of registration of additives.
Registration may be terminated by the Administrator if the additive
manufacturer requests such termination in writing.


Which really makes one wonder, what's the point? Impressing the public with a meaningless compliance spec, like the "MilSpec" claims of the algae magnets?

Dunno, I can't see that it will remove critters and water, AND clean the filters. Because once it removes critters and water and crud...where does all that stuff go? Either it gets emulsified and 'ground up' biologically (enzymes?) so it can pass through the filters and get burned up--or it has to drop out in the tank and filter. And if it gets 'ground up' then how can that improve mileage or performance?

Too many claims, for me. But isn't that what folks said about them crazy Wright Brothers and their flying machine, too? [g]
