These are reviews that have appeared in magazines by independent professional writers.
Automotive
Diesel Power
"As for us, we got a 1.15 mpg increase with the Fitch driving under very light load conditions."
Diesel Tech
"Fitch is not an additive. It is a long term fuel treatment offering a number of benefits…"
8 Lug Diesel Truck
"This is about 1 – 1.5 mpg better than the last trip at this point. It is obvious the catalyst is working"
Aftermarket Business – Editorial
"Product Power – Aftermarket innovations have the muscle to tackle touch industry issues."
American Homeowner – Automotive section of website
"After several months of hands-on testing, the Fitch Fuel Catalyst has made a noticeable improvement in our test engines, and we have no reservations about strongly endorsing it’s use in anything that uses gasoline — this is a product that really works and couldn’t be easier to."
City of York Council – UK
"The Council reports fuel consumption improvement and emissions reduction through use of Fitch Fuel Catalyst.
Tests run by City of York Council, have shown the Fitch Fuel Catalyst cuts the release of nitrogen oxides by 32 per cent, and of hydrocarbons by 90 per cent when fitted to a Vauxhall Vectra car and driven for 5,500 miles. This demonstrated that the Fitch could have a drastic positive impact in the city air quality and has encouraged transport chiefs who are seeking to cut pollution levels.
The council’s sustainable development officer who supervised the tests, said: "As well as reducing the amount of traffic on our roads, we need to clean up the traffic that remains. The Fitch unit we tested performed very well in this respect and we measured a decrease in fuel consumption. We estimate that over the 5,500 mile test, 290kg of carbon dioxide was saved from entering the atmosphere and causing global warming. Drivers must take responsibility for the damage they cause to the environment by reducing their car use and producing less pollution. Exhaust emissions are a blight on the health and well-being of the city and we all have a responsibility to cut them."
The point of the tests was to show how much people can do to cut pollution, said Mr Saxby."
Classic Truck - Instant Gratification
"…throttle response improved and I was able to pull the hill 4 or 5 mph faster and I picked up nearly 4 miles per gallon on my 302 Ford…"
Four Wheeler Magazine
"The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a maintenance-free device that easily installs in the fuel line. We like the Fitch because it lets you run 87-octane gas on a vehicle designed for 92 octane. This saves you money immediately at the pump. On our ’05 Jeep Liberty CRD, we found it increased economy by 1.2 mpg on average."
Hot Rod TV Magazine - Speed Vision
"Hot Rod Magazine recently filmed a test of the FFC that ran on Speedvision TV for two weeks. Terry McGean, a technical editor for Hot Rod Magazine installed an FFC on an ’86 Mustang GT. With the help of Mark Childers, an instructor at the Universal Technical Institute, the Mustang was baselined on a dynomometer using a state of the art 5 gas analyzer. After installation of an FFC, Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions decreased by 39.26% to 99 parts per million. This means more energy was being extracted from the fuel after installation thus increasing power and fuel efficiency with less unused fuel (HC) coming out of the tailpipe."
JP Magazine - Page 56
"After installing the Fitch Fuel Catalyst we picked up almost 3 mpg and there were other benefits such as reduced emissions, more power. Also with the Fitch there is no more need for stabilizers in Jeeps that are stored for part of the year." [Improvement: 2.7 mpg, Percent Gained 19.57%]
MuscleCar Review Magazine
"We weren’t sure whether to call the Fitch Fuel Catalyst a mileage enhancer, emissions reducer, power improver, or fuel stabilizer. It’s really all of the above. Our daily driver improved from 25 to 27.9 mpg." [That is an improvement of 11.6 % in fuel economy.]
Musclecarblog.com & Truckblog.com
"With fuel economy being first and foremost on the minds of most Americans, it’s easy to be caught up in the bolt-on modifications that claim to get better fuel mileage. When we added the Fitch Fuel Catalyst to Muscle Car Blog’s Project "Pony Up", an 07 Ford Mustang GT, we found something that actually boosted our project vehicles average highway mileage from 24 to 27 miles per gallon, which is outstanding for a high performance muscle car. " We noticed an audible change in the vehicle’s idle within 20 seconds of the initial startup that could only be described as smoothing out."
Sport Truck – Page 174
"At first, we were hesitant to dropping some "magic pellets" into our truck’s fuel tank, but we figured we had nothing to lose. We were also skeptical to the claims that we would improve our fuel economy by as little as 1.5 to 2 mpg, but, to our surprise, we ended up getting a 2.5 mpg improvement (An increase of 18.9%). Considering that our test vehicle has over 85,000 miles on a 7.4L TMI engine, the results were well worth the $175.00 price tag."
The Auto Channel – Editorial
"The Fitch Fuel Catalyst Improves Fuel for Improved Fuel Economy"
Recreational Vehicle & Outdoor Power Equipment
American Snowmobiler
Fitch Fuel Catalyst featured as "Product of the Week"
Canadian Biker – Len Creed, Publisher
"My bike is running just that much better with a Fitch Fuel Catalyst, supplied by PM Cycles Ltd. in Nova Scotia, just love that extra mileage!" [Comments after using the Fitch in his bike on his cross country run from coast to coast.]
Canadian Biker Magazine – Chuck Murray Report – Market Place
"…I do know that the fuel problem that I was having cleared up after a tank of fuel and my gas mileage has improved since the installation of the Fitch.....Where else can you find that kind of horsepower, torque and fuel economy for that kind of money?"
Easy Rider – Talking Tech
"I tried the Fitch Fuel Catalyst on an EVO that has way more compression than it should. With Fitch the knock has all but disappeared under normal riding conditions. I left the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in a tank of gas that sat for over a year. Before starting the bike I popped the cap to smell the gas expecting the flat, varnish smell you usually get with old gas, but it smelled like it had just come from the pump. I believe the Fitch Fuel Catalyst lives up to at least two of the manufacturers claims."
Gold Wing Touring News - Mark Hornstein
"Fitch Fuel Catalyst is a product that really works as claimed"
Hot Bike Magazine – Testing the Fitch Fuel Catalyst
"…an immediate increase in fuel mileage and a smoother idling motor on the Titan motorcycle? The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is one of the best values in performance increases available today!"
Hot Rod Bikes – Billy Bartels
"Over the course of a couple of weeks average fuel economy went from 27 mpg (city driving) before the test to 33." [That is a 22% increase in fuel efficiency.]
Hot Rod Bikes – Jeff Ocascy, Jeff Deaney, Tony Frey
"We have tried the Fitch Fuel Catalyst many times and it really makes a difference. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst cured a hot weather detonation problem on our Buell Cyclone. Throttle response is more crisp. Fuel economy went from 120mpt (miles per 4gal tank) to 137mpt. 4+ more miles per gallon or over 10% more miles per dollar."
Iron Works – Tom Johnson – Easy Horsepower for your V-Twin (FRONT COVER OF ISSUE)
Tom Johnson recently dyno tested the Fitch Fuel Catalyst (FFC) on a 1994 Ultra Classic using a DynoJet 150 kindly provided by S & S Cycles, Inc. Below are some of the quotes from his 6 page article which IronWorks featured on its cover.
"The test showed an increase of 1.4 hp/1.2 ft lbs.at peak power (6200 rpm) with a gain of almost 3.5 hp at 5500 rpm. In an engine that has been optimized through careful tuning, gaining three horsepower, even two horsepower, is big news, cause for celebration."
"Further, the graphs showed that the engine was reaching some horsepower and torque figures as much as 500rpm sooner with the catalyst than without it. For me that translates to faster, quicker."
"Still not convinced that I was convinced? Back home after the dyno test I immediately lined up FFC’s for my knucklehead stroker and ’40 Ford hot rod."
Iron Works - Fitch Follow up
"…using a fuel-injected TC88B (Heritage Softail Springer). Initially our test bike averaged about 38 mpg without the pellets. After running through a couple tanks with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst, the Heritage’s fuel economy rose to nearly 42 mpg "
"…our friend Sam Martin (owner of Mount Up Cycles in Ether, NC) sent us word recounting his experience using Fitch with his ’72 Shovelhead engine. Sam’s engine has a 94-inch stroker kit with a Thunder jet on an S & S "B" carb. The Fitch Fuel pellets allowed Sam to drop the S & S carb’s jetting from 82 down to 80 main, and he lowered the primary (pilot) jet from 35 to 31."
Iron Works – Page 75
"If all this sounds too good to be true, we found the greatest advantage of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst to be its ability to stabilize fuel."
Iron Works – Take 3
"Our most recent experience with the Fitch fuel treatment was with our 88 cubic inch Shovelhead engine that Kinetic Engines built for our ’81 Rubber Glide FLT. Simply by adding Fitch to the stew, we gained two horsepower at the rear wheel, improving from 77.6 to 79.6 at 5,600 rpm."

Outdoor Power Equipment Trade – Page 72
"Fitch Fuel Catalyst improves starting, fuel economy and power while reducing smoke, plug fowling and emissions."
Road & Rider Magazine – Lee W. Taylor
"I purchased a used Venture Royale several months ago in anticipation of a long anticipated cross country trip. When first riding my Venture, I was getting around 40 miles per gallon driving mostly 55 or a little under. I put in a Fitch Fuel Catalyst and after about 400 miles, rechecked my mileage and was consistently getting 50 miles per gallon at the same speeds.
Before leaving for my "Big Trip," my brother and I rode to Bike week at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and I had him put Fitch in his Yamaha 650 V Star. His normal mileage was 50 or so, but after driving to the Beach and around locally for a week, he got 60 miles per gallon coming home.
We have both put Fitch in our SUVs, and have noticed an improvement, but not as dramatic as the bikes. Here we noticed 5% improvement both in and out of town driving.
I do not care what the Rags are telling you, our cars and bikes think this stuff helps and I am not going to tell them otherwise."

Snow Tech Magazine
"All you do is drop the unit into your gas tank, and walk away. Stale gas and plugged jets are a thing of the past."
Snow Tech Magazine
"We have been using the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in most every gasoline powered engine we own. We continue to experience nothing but fresh fuel and an elimination of fuel related problems with all of our seasonal equipment. Year after year, no green crap, no varnish, no gum, and the gas acts like it is still premium grade. Even after six months the fuel does not go stale, it actually seems to get better. Think of the Fitch as a ‘Fuel Sentry’ bacteria inhibitor, octane booster, and fuel stabilizer all in one."
Snow Tech Magazine
"We’re impressed with our experience with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. On a good warm day air cooled four strokes used to ping when loaded hard. The Fitch really makes a difference. They run clean and don’t ping at all."
Feedback:
"A number of readers have inquired about our ongoing experiences with the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. We have used the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in a variety of gas powered machines from lawn mowers to snow blowers, ATV’s, and dirtbikes including every gas can on site. We can tell our readers that every single engine this has been used in has started right up after several months of storage, and we have experienced zero fuel related issues. No foul smelling gas, no gummy carbs, no-fuel related problems whatsoever. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst keeps fuel at its optimal state."
