Anyone else heard of this product? I just watched some gasoline (LS7) dyno pulls with and without the product. 3 pulls each way to set baseline. The test results showed hp and tq improvements, also as much a 3 gallons per hour better economy. They have a kit for 91-04 power strokes listed on their site.

Fitch Fuel
91-04 Power Stroke


So REAL thing or just another ONE OF THESE?

Smells like bull-sh!t to me.....

It seemed to work on Horsepower TV they got the same results as what whatabudro posted.

Increased octane and increased cetane ratings.

Isn't that contradictory?

How many of these have I seen over the years?

But that show also swears by Banks, BullyDog, Superchip, etc......

Not when you are talking about 2 different fuels.

But it showed the data on the screen and it did make a difference. Just like Banks, BullyDog, Superchip, etc the Fitch works just like they do how good it works I don't know but from what I have seen it does do what it claims.

I would like to see some data from a private person that has had it a while.

LOL just because you saw it on TV doesn't mean it's true, and I also think you missed Dave Whitmer's point, DIESELMAN.

We should call them and see if they will give PSN one to test, and have Dave or another member who keeps good MPG records test it.

If it works they should be willing to prove it, if not they can keep it. I'm not wasting my money on something that has a 99.9999995% chance of being snake oil.

I watched the horsepower TV show and they got about 10% decrease in fuel consumption. Don't remember the power increase. At $297 for our trucks it is really going to depend on your driving as to whether it is worth it. At that price I'd rather spend a bit more and get some really good programming, especially with a 7.3L an F5 with a good MPG tune would be a better option IMHO. This of course assumes it actually works.

On the other hand I am looking into this for my wifes Grand Cherokee, along with some other upgrades.

Could you or Dave explain what he ment then? Also I don't believe everything that I see on TV just posting what I saw and to me the numbers don't lie, but would I buy on HELL NO!!

One of the things about being an ancient geezer is that you've seen it all before. And I'm so old I can remember when dirt was an innovation.

If I've seen one product like this I've seen fifty. All sorts of "fuel catalysts." Reality check: A true catalyst is not consumed in a chemical reaction.

When a product promises to do everything but sell peanuts, my BS meter pegs. Everything in engineering is a trade-off. When I don't see any caveats, I get suspicious.

Maybe the stuff works as promised. If it does, it will be the first such product that delivers on its promise.

I have been running these for 2 yrs in the tanks of my sled, and motorcycle. I havent seen any mpg gain at all, but it sure helps keep the fuel from degrading during winter storage which is why i bought them.
