Permanently clean engines, no nasty chemicals

Even the use of high-quality fuel leads to deposit formation which impairs vehicle performance. Because as deposits build up on piston crowns and in combustion chambers, the ECU gradually retards the ignition timing. Simultaneously reducing combustion efficiency and increasing fuel consumption and emissions. And leading to numerous problems with EGR valves, DPF filters, O2 sensors, fuel injectors, intake valves and flashing dashboard warning lights.*

But when tin-antimony alloy is placed in the fuel tank of a petrol or diesel vehicle, it triggers a reaction in the fuel. This reaction causes the fuel to act as a self-cleaner as it combusts, eliminating carbon deposits! But unlike repeat-use fuel additives, tin-antimony isn't used up in the process, so it never needs to be replaced or topped it up. And goes on working for as long as it's in the fuel tank, keeping the engine permanently clean and efficient.

In commercial use for over 60-years

Tin-antimony alloy, originally developed during WW2 (see end of page) was first used commercially in South Africa during the 1960s, in the fuel tanks of Anglo American's mining vehicles and heavy equipment, to keep emissions permanently low. And in SAF Marine's container ships to cut black smoke, prevent fuel wastage and extend service intervals. And it's still widely used in mining, marine and industrial applications today. And in commercial and domestic vehicles.

Tested and approved by the US military

In 2002, following extensive testing of the alloy in numerous vehicles at Camp Pendleton and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, the Senate Committee on Armed Services announced the clean-up results to Congress stating, 'given the magnitude of the potential fuel savings and emissions reductions .. the Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to take immediate steps for the application of this simple technology as soon as practicable.'**

Significant results from carbon removal

The significant results published over the last 60-years, as with the many improvements reported by FTC customers, are only ever the result of deposit removal. Like big-brand fuel detergents, tin-antimony can't produce 'before & after' results in a clean engine! In a new vehicle (or one with a clean engine) FTC simply stops deposits from forming. Which simply means performance, economy and emissions remain virtually the same as a brand-new vehicle.

The UK's 'one test' hypocrisy

For the last 60-years, tin-antimony's effectiveness has been easily seen using an industry-standard, before & after emissions test - exactly the same way liquid additives are tested. But whilst a single test in a static engine has always been sufficient for the fuel additive companies, sophists claim the same equal standard doesn't apply tin-antimony!! Hypocrisy aside, FTC has been repeatedly proven to industry-standard and verified by world-leaders Emissions Analytics Ltd.

Developed during WW2

Tin-antimony pellets were originally developed by Russian scientists in 1941, for use in the fuel tanks of Hurricane and Yak fighter planes operating out of Murmansk during WW2. Extremely low temperatures were causing waxing problems with the local fuel, leading to engines cutting out and mid-air stalling. The planes were restricted to 16,000 ft until a solution could be found. When the pellets were added to the fuel tanks, the planes were able to operate over and above their usual ceiling of 20,000 ft with exactly the same fuel.***

Propaganda's illusory truth effect

When the American motor industry realised tin-antimony eliminated carbon and kept engines permanently clean, they were worried. The truth could put a huge dent in the profits from spares, repairs and annual engine de-cokes. And could even slow new car sales. But for the fuel additive companies, with dispenser cans at every fuel pump, the pellets spelt complete disaster! So they started a smear campaign. And motoring's biggest lie was born.

Along with snake oil slurs and stories of exploding engines, the logical fallacy 'if they were that good the manufacturers would fit them' was widely circulated. Over the last 80-years, this well-known propaganda slogan has been repeated so many times, especially in the UK, many have come to believe it. With straw man tests, red herring reviews and practised sophistry, repeatedly used to mislead the public.****
