- From an newspaper article:
-
- In Australia over 50% of the cars still run on Super Leaded fuel. A fuel
- catalyst called broquet would allow these cars to run on Unleaded fuel
- with no damaging side effects.
-
- The AUS$120+ treatment is added to the fuel system an is supposed to last
- 400 000km. The manufacturer, and some owners, claims the following benefits
- to both leaded and unleaded cars.
- - Improved combustion resulting in greater power (9% at full throttle),
- reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy of the order of
- 7-12%.
- - Longer engine life
- - Reduced gumming of Valves and injectors
-
- The substance if based on tin and has been widely used in Britain and
- some European countries.
