What is FP3000 and what benefit will it have?

[cfromc]

I've done the searches and I know what FP60 is what its benefits are supposed to be and that FP3000 is a similar product, I think. But can someone explain what exactly FP3000 does and it benefits. Is it just a better FP60 or is it something different? What are the exact benefits-better MPG, cleaning, pump lubrication, etc.? I just started using Lucas UCL and it seems to give a little better MPG and says it will lubricate the pump (which I just changed two weeks ago) but before I order 4 gallons of the UCL I want to know if I should hold off and wait for FP3000.

I didn't have very good luck with UCL before (no "noticable" difference) but after reading all the stuff here on BITOG I just went to Kragen and bought a bunch. I didn't get any answers on FP3000 in posting or email, so I don't know what's up with that. I will wait until people use it for a while and see. I have two real old vehicles that I think really need something like these fuel cleaners.

Other than using less product than FP60 who knows.

I'm a little disappointed that no one can even say what its supposed to do. There seem to be a lot of people anxiously awaiting it, someone will hopefully chime in and let me know why they are anxiously awaiting it.

Per our order page: FP3000 is the following:

Fuel System Cleaner and Upper Cylinder Lubricant

FP3000 is a newly developed fuel system cleaner and lubricant derived mostly from renewable resources:FP3000 will lubricate the fuel pump, fuel injectors, and the upper cylinder area.

FP3000 burns clean which means few deposits are left behind while cleaning the fuel system and the upper combustion chamber.


The main differences between FP60 and FP3000 is 3000 is made from mostly renewable resources and burns cleaner than FP60. It is also a UCL which FP60 is not and that was a large factor in creating this product was to have a UCL.

FP60 wasnt a UCL?

Anyone want to buy a gallon of fp60?

 

[cfromc]

Thanks Confederate, I don't know how I missed that but at least it gives some idea of what I'm buying. Maybe I'll just buy 1 gallon of Lucas UCL and wait for the FP3000.

I too was surprised by that statement. But in fact, their website does not say a thing about it being a UCL.

Hey MMO is red, maybe Fp3000 is MMO plus fp60.

I expect FP3000 to be minty fresh.

There was a lot of talk about the differences between FP60 and FP3000 months (even a year ?) ago when FP3000 was tentatively announced. I don't know why now there's no clear, official statement that answers all basic questions. I suppose such info will eventually pop up on the lubecontrol website.

Hmm, kind of sounds like super concentrated BioDiesel.

I could have sworn Terry said something about FP60 having UCL properties. So, was the UCL properties of FP60 just a nice and unplanned side effect? It is nice to have the product be renewable, but that UCL is a really important thing to have...

What interfaces in the "upper cylinder" does a UCL lubricate?

I assume the "Piston Ring" to "Cylinder Wall" interface?

Others?

Try some Bio is good stuff I have used it to "fast" flush engine flush new/old car at idle for 10 minutes 1 quart to 4 quarts.
