OPINIONS OR EXPERIENCE WITH FITCH FUEL PACK?

[BubbleHead]

wAS CRUSING CYBERSPACE AND FOUND THESE. nEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE BUT maybe THEY WOULD ACTUALLY GAIN 3 TO 4 MORE MILES PER GALLON IN OUR TANKS?

"By the time he was through the first of five full tanks of gas, Frey said that the bike was running noticeably smoother. Nothing to drastic, but he said that the engine seemed to be firing better than it ever had before!
Then it was time to check out the gas mileage. Frey reported that while he was able to squeeze 120 miles out of 4 gallons before the Fitch system was added, he could now get around 137 miles from the same amount of fuel. Thats a gain of about 4.25 miles per gallon!!......pretty amazing for doing nothing more than opening a blister-packed product and dropping it into the gas tank!".

Check to make sure this part fits your application
Get maximum performance out of your fuel with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst.
The Fitch Fuel Catalyst transforms gasoline and diesel into a superior quality fuel. Get more performance out of your engines for less--less money, less pollution, and less maintenance headaches. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is permanent fuel treatment device that reformulates fuel, resuscitates partially oxidized fuel, and suppresses the growth of bacteria in fuel. Fitch Fuel Catalysts ensure that all fuel delivered to combustion engines is in optimal condition, allowing the engines to extract the maximum amount of energy with minimal emissions per kg of fuel. Once fuel has been refined, it sits in a holding tank, is pumped into transport vehicles, is shipped worldwide, sits in the holding tank at a gas station, and then you purchase it. That fuel refined as 93 octane has substantially lost its potency and freshness. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst helps return gas station grade gasoline or diesel back to its refinery-fresh state, for increased fuel economy and performance. Fitch Fuel Catalysts offer a better quality of fuel, which translates into better engine performance. The Fitch Fuel Catalysts are maintenance-free devices that are warranted for 250,000 miles. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst can easily be installed in the fuel line, much like a fuel filter, or directly into the fuel tank.

if it does help, maybe we with smaller fuel tank capacities can get a few more miles per on those longer trips.

Wrist Twist

There is a way to instantly gain 25% or better mileage and I only charge $19.99, nor do you have to add anything.

Get on your bike, head out on the hwy, and twist that fucking thing in your right hand and get your speeds up around a 100mph. I normally get about 118 out of a tank of fuel, doing the 'wrist twist' technique, I have gone 147 miles and not hit reserve!
Want better mpg? Twist that fucking thing a lil more.

You can send cash, Postal Money Order or Pay Pal (with paypal add 3.5%)

Bought it to ride it, not sit and look at it.

:roll: :up: lol lol lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL GETTING IT DONE. Why didn't I think of that? The only drawback is the extra cost of the speeding tickets and at over 100 mph they can reduce your savings a bit:roll:
Thanks for the suggestion Knot :2thumbs:

Another edition of snake oil?

Proably Gas but with a trip to Myrtle Beach coming up soon and a 580 mile ride a few more MPG would be nice to cut down the amount of stops for gas. It's not the money for the fuel as it is the pain in the ass to keep stoping every 90 to 100 miles. 120 or 130 would make it a bit easier. Either way it ain't gonna stop me from saddeling up and moving out, that's for sure!

 

[Gas Man]

Just gives you a reason to stop, stretch the legs and hydrate. Hydrating is important.

 

[woodbutcher]

normally get around 44 mpg but the trip down to daytona and back averaged around 50 mpg running 75+. faster the better. :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

 

[Raywood]

Those things have been around for a long time. They have been featured in bike mags over the years and seems they don't do much for the bike according to the articles written on them.

 

[KnotSo]

I agree with Gas.
Running at speed and on the long runs with our legs and body in pretty much one position for an hour and a half (125 miles), it is good to stop, stretch and so on. Keeps fatigue from kicking in and that is the #1 cause of accidents on the road these days.

Seems like a hassle stopping so much, but it is really good for the body. Get some fluids in ya, chat with the public, get back on the road and feel great.

We all want better mileage, but 45-55 mpg is pretty damned good with these big motors.

These gimicks have been in the back of popular mechanics and hot rod mag since, well forever.

Tune the bike correctly and keep it well maintained is your best bet.

See Ya

BDM put out an SB on this in 2004 or 2005. I'll try to find it. Said, shops should make sure these are not in the tank as they had problems with the chemicals degrading seals and such.

I'm with all of you on the gadget thing. But my inquisitive mind just won't let me stopping researching the world for improvements. I rarely if ever buy any unless the educated opinions that I get support the purchase. I read a lot so I come across a lot of "snake oil" type things during those "educational" sessions. Jimbo, I already own some "monutain property in Key West so I'll pass bro
I agree with all of you on the stopping thing, it is good to do that. Since I got my bike dyno tuned I seem to be getting around 32 mpg at best. I'm getting about 90 miles at best before my reserve kicks in. Maybe I should take it back and have it redone or ask why it's so low an MPG?
Thanks to all for the always great advice.

That is definately WAY too low if you are letting the dog stretch its legs at all.

I know that "playing with the throttle" when riding with buds doing city driving, sometimes I might get that low, but even then I think I am around 35+.

Sounds like a definate tuning issue, unless your going uphill both ways

I would definately get it checked out...

 

[BubbleHead]

It's mostly highway driving with a small amount of city. I set an appointment to get it back to where it was done and have it rechecked. Thanks Cut, I'm inclined to agree. It was just done about 3 weeks ago so back it goes befroe my long trip to mB. I'll post what happens after.

BigBlue,

The mileage you are posting does sound pretty low if we are talking open road miles. I am getting close at time in the 40's on the open road with consistant speeds. Does drop some with the city riding or the constant change up in the back roads on twistie, but even then upper 30's.

I do make it habbit to stop at around the 100 point to be on the safe side, but just as important to get off the bike, get some blood to the legs, fluids in the systems, a little BS with other riders or the locals and unfortunately some nicotine in the lungs.

Can not say that going very fast gets me better gas mileage but do notice that if I keep the RPM up close to the 3000 rpm range, I do seem to get better range than 2500-3000 range. Normally just cruise where I have the 3000 LED lit. Maybe working on a more efficient circuit or something.

 

[PROFLYER]

I used those forever ago...my dad has a dealer price plan if anyone wants them. I do know that we put them in all our farm equipment and since then the gas hasn't spoiled over the winter, that's worth something. He did notice MPG gain in the powerstroke, I didn't notice shit in my old toyota, but it did have 37" tires! They are these weird little pod looking things with metal magnet discs in them...you just drop them in.

And stop the monkey ass.
