This has been discussed here before with the same conclusions....Snake oil. There is a guy on the internet that claims outrageous increases in MPG using it.
If you have some acetone and an automotive o-ring or fuel line....toss the them in the acetone and see what happens. Poof! gone in no time. Acetone attacks most rubber and many other stuff in the fuel system.
