I am thinking of installing the broquet fuel catalyst in my car (an e36
bmw). Has anyone tried it before & how is the feedback?

Thanks!

hahahaha Eksy...calling for fuel saving device specialist kah?

there seems to be too many fuel saving devices in the market
now...perhaps, people cannot tahan the petrol price increase lah...! But,
which one really works? Anyway, stupe can surely give us some
comprehensive replies, right?

Have a nice weekend...

Some gadgets do work, but maybe actually improving yr consumption by say
5%, while the advertisements claim "UP TO 35%!!"

who calling me?

LOL..
fuel saving specialist? LOL, garry, pls la, i am a ###### for these stuff
sometimes. funny thing is, i am not even selling any of these stuff...if
i am, i think i will be doing good business.

anyway, as for broquet, yes, i have it, in my petrol tank and also the
inline model. it is expensive, i would say, most probably would only last
me 5 years or 7 years max. why? because the stuff, which actually started
off as some LFR(Lead Fuel Replacement) for the older generation engine
that needs the leaded petrol to run.

my verdict?
it did gave me savings, consistently, after testing it without other
devices(ie on the broquet alone), i get about 1-2km/l extra. that's about
it. BUT, the plus point is, it allows me to run on the lower RON petrol,
without any problem like loss in power of the problem of the fuel not
doing it's cleaning work (or those marketing gimmick in those fuel
advertisment). so, technically, i am already savings 5 sen per liter. per
refill of 20 liters, i am saving rm1, plus the savings i get per liter(ie
1-2km/l), i guess, i can safely say that i am doing some savings.

but in al fairness, there is no free lunch la, you want broquet, you have
to pay for it. as for me, like i say, i am jsut ###### for these
stuff..LOL...must be the loser in me that wants to constantly try out all
those products...and i can safely say that among those i've tried,
ecotek, broquet and surbo, top my list.

next online? heard of Accel stuff? LOL..RM350 each!

hey stupe, don't be mad...i salute you for trying out all these devices
and willing to keep us posted here regarding your findings and opinion.
Appreciate that really.

Too bad i ain't have that much of vitamin "M", or else i'd also try out
those products one by one...like you mentioned before, the money u used to
try out these stuffs may be able to let you pump petrol for another year!
WOW...respect you man!

Anyway, i still believe, one of these stuffs works and works much better
and consistently than the rest but to know that, i think other than try it
out ourselves, it's hard to tell whether it really works, right?

Eh, broquet sound impressive from your experience! So, how it is compared
to Ecotek? If you put in both Broquet and Ecotek, would you get even
better consumption?

well...i've seen "Fuel Master", RM 180 each, in one magazine...new kah?
haha...

Garry,
mad abotu what?
LOL...i am only mad at myself for spending so much at those stuff where
else someone in the forum could easily achieve what i could with a stock
standard kancil. talk about ironic. i guess he must be pretty lucky to be
borned with light right foot or his kancil must be some lucky production
where all the tolerance for the car to run are so high, he gets about 18-
20km/l.

as for us unlucky owner of fuel guzzing kancil, i guess we jsut ahve to
bear with it OR take my path and ooze those moolah and be s*ckered with
those devices.

there is nothing to respect ehre la. i am jsut like you. nothing to do,
with loads of time to waste..LOL..i wish..LOL.

Anyway, yes, you are right, sometimes, listening to what other have to
say, i would say that i won't be satisfied until i tried it myself. This
way, i am in a better position to comment about what works and not. agree?

as for teh fuel master? that one is some magnet stuff right? hehee..this
one, a lil confusing la...some say work, some say don't. i've tried with 8
pieces of neodynium magnet at my fuel line...doesn't give any effects at
all, though i try to convince myself there is(after cutting my hand trying
to remove those HDD covers).

good day to you.
