Petrol is stupid expensive, eh. Now, a fuel combustion expert, Jerry Lang, has developed a breakthrough technology with a company that currently reaches over 190 countries, which not only reduces emmissions by up to 90%, but also increases your vehicle's fuel economy, allowing you to get more kilometers out of your petrol! See for quick video and details: http://www.PetroPreserve.net |

All lies. How is adding something to the fuel going to change the software/mechanics that meters the fuel into the engine. Unless the metering changes no additive can have any effect on the fuel consumed. |

The lambda doesn't measure unburnt fuel - it measures unburnt oxygen. IIRC its a hot wire catalytic sensor.. i.e. it measures how much fuel burns on contact with it. It requires oxygen too. However most engines have an excess of oxygen as they suck in the same volume of air and have more or less fuel. Theoretically, a more complete burn could well consume all oxygen from less fuel, leading to less fuel being injected for the same exhaust result. If it consumes all the oxygen the sensor isn't going to be able to measure how much fuel is unburnt. Maybe thats what the product does.. stops the fuel from burning in the engine and causes the lambda sensor to reduce the fuel? Maybe - or maybe it's a pyramid selling scam based around overpriced and overhyped crap that does nothing very much. Really???? ;-) Prace bets. |

It is supposed to have been used by the US army etc for many years. Apparently, what it is supposed to do is make all the fuel burn inside the engine before the exhaust port opens (a quicker bang). He reckons that the little burst of flame from the exhaust valve reduces the efficiency of the engine. Personally, I thought it was a load of ********. If an engine manufacturer had not done something about this many years ago, well, need I go on? Dave |

Without one the engine would try to run at maximum speed. Most injection systems are exactly the same - the throttle controls the air admittance and the injectors supply the correct amount of fuel for that. -- *He who laughs last has just realised the joke.

Maybe I should have stated the same volume of air per revolution? State what you like, its still false. In a petrol engine, the fuel air ratio is kept relatively constant, and the total air volume is reduced to reduce power. The actual pre combustion pressures at say tickover or cruise are really very low indeed. In a Diesel, the air volume is kept the same, and te fuel amount reduced to reduce power. Which is why diesels are markedly more efficient at part throttle. |

The message
from "dennis@home" contains these words: Would you like to explain how it measures the oxygen then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor Sounds like a description of a flammable gas detector. Put a voltage across a catalyst and the fuel will combine with the oxygen to heat the catalyst.. this changes the resistance so you can measure it. Nothing I can see in that article suggests this isn't the case. "An automotive oxygen sensor, also known as an O2 sensor, lambda probe, lambda sensor, lambda sond or EGO (exhaust gas oxygen) sensor, is a small sensor inserted into the exhaust system of a petrol engine to measure the concentration of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas" Does it matter how it works? The wikipedia article is only one of a number to be found on the net one of which is specific as to how it works.
