Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 15, 2002 Share January 15, 2002 Guys, I had Broquet dumped into my brick's fuel tank 2 years ago and it was the larger 8 pellet type. I did not feel or notice any significant power or fuel economy gains, anyone else with more positive results? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yongwd 1st Gear January 15, 2002 Share January 15, 2002 My older Mazda requires leaded fuel, dump the pellet into the tank tot that it might work. No positive results. 2 Destructive Results 1 Jammed my fuel float (erratic reading, shows empty when tank is full) 2 and finally killed my fuel float (cannot register anything after 1yr) Guys, I had Broquet dumped into my brick's fuel tank 2 years ago and it was the larger 8 pellet type.

Sky8807 1st Gear January 16, 2002 Share January 16, 2002 Don't trust the products anyway. The theory to me does not hold water, and I don't buy the idea either. After reading your destructive results, confirm liao, this is a no no product for me. Not only it does not give any noticeable result, it introduced Foreign Object Damage (FOD) to your fuel system inside the tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 16, 2002 Author Share January 16, 2002 FOD? Chim siah! New term for snake oils and crappy products! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear January 17, 2002 Share January 17, 2002 The word 'FOD' is common in the aviation industry. It means any object that does not belong to the airplane that cause damage to it eg stone, pebbles, lost tools and lists goes on. If oil cause damage can also considered.

Pentagon99 Neutral Newbie January 17, 2002 Share January 17, 2002 Hi, one of my friend oso use the broquet dropped in. he claimed that there is some power but dint save fuel... still the same... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 17, 2002 Author Share January 17, 2002 At first I thought that since Broquet didn't give my 1.5yr old car much improvement when I first popped it into my fuel tank, it'll work better for "older" cars. Now after hearing horrer stories about old cars having problems with Broquet as well, seems like it should be left with the diesels and aircraft rotary engines.

Hensony Clutched March 3, 2002 Share March 3, 2002 I installed Broquet in-line system (Boostmaster 30, to be exact) for my Ford Laser last December. Initially, fuel efficiency dropped. But gradually it improved. My friend, who read it somewhere, informed me that the drop in fuel efficiency is expected. Broquet had to clean the fuel system first. Once the system is cleaned, fuel efficiency comes back. My car can now do 10km per litre, which I think is quite good for a 3 years old car. For all the troubles the in-tank system is causing, maybe it is not suitable for all cars? For worry-free driving, try the in-line system. No regret for me so far!

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 3, 2002 Author Share March 3, 2002 (edited) The inline unit will definitely "treat" the fuel more evenly thus improving efficiency and economy. One point to note is my brick's fuel map is tuned for rich mixture so economy will be bad irregardless of whatever crap thing I try to put in. In turn I've focus my mods to power rather than economy since I have excess fuelling from the ECU's fuel map. btw, yours a 1.3 or 1.6? Auto or manual?

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 3, 2002 Author Share March 3, 2002 If the pellets are thrown into the tank, that's the end. To remove them the entire fuel tank has to be removed to fish out the pellets. To prevent this, you can attach fishing string or nylon string to the pellets before dropping into the tank and leave the string outside the fuel pump cover.

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 3, 2002 Author Share March 3, 2002 10km/l is average only, do U drive around the city most of the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue850r Clutched March 4, 2002 Share March 4, 2002 My friend's Mazda 323 1.6L auto 1999 model which is using the same engine as Ford Laser, now 80K+ on the odometer, still does 11km/L without any aftermarket gadgets. You think your fuel catalyst thingy is working or not ? Did you check your consumption before installation ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
