G'day All,
Has anybody used one of those inline fuel catalysts on their car and do they really work? the advertising brochure says that you dont need to use lead replacement additives with this gadget on, and it is also supposed to boost your octane level so you can run old engines like the tonner on standard unleaded fuel. It all sounds too good to be true to me, is it just snake oil or do they work?

Whoops - when I said to leave ULP in the storage tank, I meant LRP! Damn fingers hit the wrong keys...
