Has anybody tried these. They are a filter of sorts that modify the fuel.

Or is it just another Hiclone. I suspect the latter.

From there web site

Established and accepted test protocols involve the use of a chassis or an
engine dynamometer. The proper operation of the Fuelstar requires movement
and vibration to release the metallic particles from the alloy cones within
the canister. The movement and vibration encountered in actual use in
on-road conditions is not adequately replicated in the laboratory. As a
consequence, the likelihood of the tin particles reaching the combustion
chambers in colloidal form and in sufficient quantities, is extremely
remote. It has been well established that if the metallic particles do not
reach the combustion chambers in adequate quantities, there will be no
improvement in engine performance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the above reasons, you will see that 'scientific' laboratory tests to
carry out an adequate test of the Fuelstar product are extremely difficult
to design and very expensive to perform. If a laboratory test fails to
confirm the results in actual use, then it is the test or test methodology
which is at fault, rather than the more obvious conclusion that the product
doesn't work to its expectation.

Thats a cop out if i ever saw one.

Seem to remember it wasn't cheap though.

even just as a fuel system cleaner is works well
either the petrol or diesel

additive
