I did a side by side comparison of six major brands of fuel treatment and coincidentally got my results yesterday after one year. Interesting stuff.
Do tell, what did you find out?

I'd be happy to share the results but since it involves name brands I'm not sure how the admins would want to handle that.

It's a strange conundrum... seems we can talk about the merits and downfalls of brands (ie. outboards, boats, batteries, etc..) but not the people that made them.  But then that seems to change sometimes too.  

I'd like to absorb your knowledge on this, like I try to do with most everything else.

Mixing things up keeps the Forum fresh. :wink:
I'll PM Dood, discuss and see if we can get this on board.

Fair enough?
Then again, you could just buy him lunch and let him tell you all about it. :mrgreen:

I'm ok with posting this "scientific" data - please post some commentary about the way you tested also.  The results should speak for themselves without much else.

Rick I posted the results to my blog. That keeps it on neutral ground. I don't mind posting a link to the blog here or giving the link to anyone via PM, or just skipping the issue altogether. I did the test so I could give an honest opinion based on actual experience to the many inquiries I get regarding which additive to use.

I think you did a great job of objectively testing the products.  I use 2 of the 3 you rated at the top - lucky guess for me.  Thanks for the info BD  :salut:
