Anyone Installed a Fuel Catalyst?
Im curious if anyone has first hand experience and what their personal thoughts are. I saw it in Summit's catalog and it seems pretty good. thanks for your feedback.

I read an article in Diesel Power where they tested it and supposedly gained 1+/- MPG. Now the test was short run only, a tank or two as I recall, and it's quite possible, I'd even say fairly probable that you will have some variation from tank to tank. It may have been that since they were testing to see improvements in economy that they drove easier without realizing it and hence skewed the numbers. I know that it would take a year of data to account for seasonal variation alone, at least here where we get summer blend and winter blend diesel. It would be interesting to see the numbers from that truck over the course of the next year.
There is also the fact that Fitch does advertise in DP, and they would not be the first magazine to be accused of "testing" products so that the results cater to the needs of their advertisers.....
