Sounds like snake oil to me. When a reputable company proves it works, then I'll believe it. It does not seem fit the laws of physics.

Just watched the same episode. 90-day money-back and the dyno seemed to confirm what they were claiming. Lower emissions and less $$$ at the pump, more power and better fuel economy. Anyone have anything on reliability or honesty of Fitch? I somehow doubt Horsepower TV would be hawking "snake oil".
Now for the sticker price for an older car... tank installed or inline? Looks like $119 on their website.

(Of course it works, they paid for the spot on the show didn't they? <lol>)
Yes.
I have seen the basic presentation in the seventies, eighties, and nineties from four different 'inventors'.
Mostly in the HD truck business, mostly at trade shows where the booth rates are cheap.
There are some metallic pellets inside that ionize, align, straighten, add, or subtract something from the fuel.
Loads of testimonials, lot's of testing, little in the way of provable facts.
You are better off with clothespins on your fuel lines.

I have no experience with the fitch, but my company started representing a
competitor's product that seems similar to this Fitch catalyst.
Here's what we have been told in training. The catalyst is most effective
on pre computer controlled Diesel engines. They are proven to reduce
emissions, and have been proven in customer tests to reduce Diesel emissions
on engines in underground mining applications, where it would be easy to
prove whether they make a difference or not by the required constant
monitoring of air quality.
Fuel savings range from 0% to 20%. The newer the engine, the less impact it
has the ability to make. They work by arranging the molecules for more
efficient combustion, much the same way as a catalytic converter helps to
break up exhaust emissions. Some engines experience a fuel savings. Some
do not. However, almost all engines do show a reduction in emissions when
they are installed.

The emphasis is on the word "proven"....
"Proven" when "paid for" is still subjective.
"Buyer Beware" is still the acronym.....
Just think about the upcoming election cycle.....

The company we work with will not actively market them for gasoline engines.

Magnets on the fuel line will probably do the same thing

Horse Power TV also pushed that thing that makes the "fuel / air"
mixture go into a swirling motion also. It's physically impossible
for that thing to work as advertized.
So much more hogwash.
You loose a lot of volume with nothing but vacuum in the center of the
"Typhoon" (I think it was called).
As Alex said...Snake oil...pure and simple.
Years ago, when I worked at B&M Automotive, we tested a hand full of
those fuel fixer things...And as Jeff noted...been around for eons in
one form or another...."none...zero" worked as promised.
This was back in the gas crunch (later 70's) era, when B&M was just
getting into the induction (their blower) end of things.
