    You forgot some have had it done and report improvements to economy and emissions...well that was my experience.

    Very true Mark. Unfortunately apart from you & one or two others, the majority of people who joined in the debate on the pro-Terraclean side seemed to come from nowhere to comment on it & were never seen again. Which makes the issue seem a little suspicious. It's almost as if Terraclean are advertising by shadows & whispers on forums rather than promoting it in the usual way. Then factor in the fact that a well known motor enthusiast promotes it & is later found to be one of the backers & you can understand why the whole thing makes people suspicious.

    Despite all this, I'm still on the fence until a neutral party does before & after telescopic camera thingies to show the difference it's made.

    i just want a cupful of the magic fluid they use to remove baked on carbon in 12 seconds flat. you could use it to clean turbo's and inlet manifolds rather than having to use a jackhammer. mr muscle works a bit, as do some other chemicals but you just can't beat fire, thats the only way to truly get rid of it. so what terraclean use must be from outer space or so top secret that no one other than ed china know what its made of.

    Bops, am dubious you'll see any improvement, I saw lower emissions and greater economy which don't really seem to be your priorities.

    There is no so called magical fluid in the terraclean system it is a modified and refined gasoline which can be seen from the fuel datasheets, what it does do is fractionalize the carbon deposits by charging the refined fuel with a negative charge as its passing through the terraclean machine, when it reaches the cars combustion chamber the negatively charged fuel atoms are attracted to the positively charged carbon atoms when the two come in contact it oxidizes the carbon and turns it into a vapour which is then expelled via the exhaust.

    I know people will think I am posting this because I have an invested interest but I'm a car enthusiast like many of you are, I've had many vag caqrs over the years including golfs, corrado's and scirrocos then went to the dark side and bought a nissan skyline 8 years ago which I sold a couple of months ago. I'm now running a c5 S6 4.2 v8 avant, first on the list of things to do to it was do a terraclean as it has now covered over 170k, it was running 14.8mpg avg when I bought it, had the emissions tested to get a baseline, since doing the terraclean mpg has gone upto 23.4 avg over 1.5k miles distance, emissions wise after I got them checked again hydrocarbons have been reduced by over 50% (85ppm down to 25ppm) and also co% output at idle test was also reduced by nearly half (0.030 down to 0.016%)

    I haven't found any other fuel treatment products that actually do what they claim to do as well as the terraclean

    i run an audi 80 tdi with 317k miles on the clock. when i bought it it was averaging 32mpg and blowing 2.5 l/m on the opacity meter. after applying my own formula of fuel additive the average mpg went up to 130mpg and the emissions went down to .18 l/m. i think thats a pretty good result myself.
    i don't offer this additive to the general public but i think i should.

    Mmmm..........a 58% improvement in mpg....quite a claim...you sure there aren't other things contributing to the change besides this treatment?

    That is a good result, bet your concoction was petrol based kerosene perhaps? While it may have worked its probably not all that safe long term, fine if your doing it to your own car though, the terradiesel formula mv3d is tested and approved and safe to use carrying all the correct levels of lubrication so no damage to any of the vital seals in the engine/pumps, bet you cant say the same!
