Oxytane fuel additive
 

Hi,

Have anyone here tested Oxytane?

What is Oxytane?

Lots of test data is there but cannot make my mind about the facts...

Wouldn't something electrically active mess with fuel level senders?

At over 4 USD a bottle, and requiring one bottle per 5 gallons, it's cheaper to buy fuel.
Every 5 gallons + oxytane could buy you 6 gallons of fuel in the US !


The NASA stuff they link to, actually sees benefits from electrically charged fuel - better fuel misting due to the fuel particles having the same charge - while Oxytane claims to reduce the electrostatic charges.

...lots of papers but nothing actually proving success. Sounds to me like a 'secondary' (ie: back door) approach to MAGNETS, ie: if the magnetic 'fields' won't work, lets try the electrostatic 'fields' approach to UniCorn marketing.

I also calculated the additive cost and could not get any gains at 4$ per 5 gallons price...

I could not find any proves on any forums that it actually saves fuel. Read multiple posts on same topic...

"Oxy Tane" hmmm... oxygenated + higher octane? OH! I run that stuff all the time! Except we call it E85 here, and it costs less than regular grade.

The web site certainly does not scream "this is a legitimate product". (Just saying.)

The dyno tests show increases in power.

Is it fair to say that an octane additive would have resulted in the increases in engine output? Probably, if it's a modern, computer controlled engine with knock sensor(s)?

The emission tests show decreases in some emissions, but do not show CO2 (which would indicate changes in fuel consumption), so they're mostly useless.

I saw no evidence this is a fuel saving product.

My unicorn senses are tingling!

I think this one goes in the Corral until / unless some quality info surfaces.

Probably not, unless the original fuel used for testing was lower octane than the recommended rating for the car.
