What is is FP that makes my car soot free

[UNC201]

I've been using FP in my car for a good while now at 1oz to 5 gal dosage. My FP mix is actually 3:1 (fp/lc) due to a midnight blunder thinking I was mixing in the mola brew of FP/Neutra.


I'm a HUGE detailing nut and the main thing I have really noticed is that there is litterally none/zero exhuast soot at all. I'm not sure if the FP is the work of all this or possibly my new exhaust that I had put on this spring. I used to end up polishing the tips every 2 weeks but now, it's just a quick wipe with a metal polish cleaner and I'm done.

I too would like to know more about the chemistry that makes fp what it is. Saying that it adds to the energy content of gasoline does not mean much, anything with an LHV of 1BTU/gal can claim that. Its miscible in gasoline and diesel? great, thayre decent solvents...

Sure would liek to know more about why/how it does what it does, the website is rather hazy.

If they started giving away their formula, they'd be out of business in pretty short order, wouldn't they? For the foreseeable future, we need to make do with Molakule's testing report, posted on lubecontrol.com, and the many positive experiences from the people who've used it.

I would think their formula is protected one way or another...if any big company wanted to use it all they would have to do is hire someone like MolaKule for a few hundred bucks to test it.

I dont need an assay of whats in it, but rather a better explanation of the chemistry in action that makes it work. Im a chemical engineer, I can understand these things, and would like to learn more.

The part I wonder about is, what is in it that makes it cloudy? It's obviously a suspension of something, it separates over time and you have to shake it up. Seems unusual for an additive; most others are clear-ish and don't require shaking. I've only been using it for a few months and haven't noticed anything significant, but it's too early to tell. I bought FP and LC on the advice of this forum, so if it's junk I'm holding YOU GUYS responsible. Kidding...

Happy Motoring!

Reguarding the cloudy part, FP has a dye in it that can settle out, therefore the need to shake. Will not hurt a thing.

I'll let Terry and/or Molakule reply to the chemistry part as they know more than I, but they can only give a little info as it is proprietary.

To cc rider, did you by chance pull your plugs before you started FP? I bet they are much cleaner now. Not all customers see mpg increase....and we do not guarantee that...we do guarantee reduce cabon and varnish which will lead to problems down the road if not cleaned up.

Also, to see the true benefit you need to run both products together. And if you have a mower put some FP in the gas....it'll smoke and clear that sucker out.

cc,dye is what you are seeing settle out, shake well and you'll feel better about it. Shaking is saving you lots of money in extra costs for product !!! I enjoy the product, shaking, and the low cost !!!

Remember, it's Shaken, not stirred.

And while we're on the subject of shaking, here's a martini for you to try:

3 measures of Gordon's Gin

1 measure of vodka

1/2 measure Kina Lillet vermouth

Shake it very well until it's ice cold, pour into a deep champange glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon peel.

Why not just leave the dye out of the mix? I, for one, would not complain if my FP is not pretty pink!

 

[LCD]

I am not positive on this, but I think it looks a lot like LC therefore the dye added. Not sure though.

I have ordered and received Fuel Power & Lube Control, I did see the note on the gallon jug of Fuel Power to 'Shake Well'.
I did notice the settling out of white material on the bottom of the jug of the Fuel Power, is this just 'Die'?

Reason I ask is, if I have added some Fuel Power to the gas tank and forgot to shake before pouring into the gas will the affect of Fuel Power be the same?

If the settling out is 'Die', and I forget to 'Shake' before adding to the gas, performance wise it should not matter, correct?

Thanks for your input.

Bill,

It's the dye.

Odis is considering using a new dye for FP that is more soluble and will not settle out.

Thanks Molakule,I am not worried, just wanted to make sure this settling in FP was 'Dye',
if this is dye then I have nothing to worry about if I have added FP to my gas and forgot to Shake the FP before pouring it in.
