No. MMO has undergone rigorous testing to ensure the safety of all internal components in your vehicle including highly-sensitive oxygen sensors, fuel sensors and catalytic converters.
I've lost track of how many times I've posted this, but I will repeat myself again. I've been using the stuff for decades in oil and gas. Carb engines, EFI, cat converters, and regular exhaust systems. In 1987 I bought a new 1988 E-150 van. At the time MMO was selling Inverse Oilers, I had been adding MMO to the gas in all my vehicles and thought the Inverse Oiler might be a good idea. I ordered 2 of them, and installed one in a 85 E-150 and another in an 88 E-150. Both vans were used in severe service applications. A few years back I sold the 85 E-150 with over 150,000 miles and the original cat converter. I am still driving the 88 E-150 original cat converter.
My 93 Aerostar has about 175,000 miles on it, MMO added to the gas tank, original cat converter. 95 Chevy Caprice had MMO added to the gas. My brother uses it in a 150,000 mile 318 Ram pick up, as well as his boat, and wife's mini van. We've never failed emissions with these vehicles, and never replaced a cat converter, ever.
Yes phosphorus can damage a cat converter, but at what dose? I think we have a knee jerk reaction here, based on a VOA, and opinions. Here is real world results, spanning over 20 years with my 88 E-150. I've OD'ed the stuff too, no problem.
When my son deploys to Afghanistan we change his oil prep the car, and add 1 full qt of MMO to his gas,. We drive the car for about 45 minutes or so, and store the car for no less than 6 months. No cat problems on his 2000 323i with over 120,000 miles on it.
I'll take real world over a lab test any day. YMMV
These are just a few examples of cat converter vehicles. I was adding MMO to my 1966 Ford Falcon. We go back quite a few years. i could ramble on about positive results I've seen, but I'll stop here.
Good post Demarpaint, I know you've posted your experiences many times before. I'll take real world usage anyday, you have been very successful. I've been adding MMO to my fuel for a little bit now and I really like the stuff.
