Tin-antimony keeps engines permanently clean

Even the use of high-quality fuel leads to deposit formation which reduces engine efficiency. Because as deposits build up on piston crowns, the ECU retards the ignition timing, which reduces combustion efficiency and increases fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Leading to flashing dashboard warning lights and numerous problems with fuel injectors, intake valves, O2 sensors, DPF filters and EGR valves.*

But when tin-antimony is placed in the fuel tank of a petrol or diesel vehicle, it causes the fuel to act as a self-cleaner as it combusts, eliminating carbon deposits! But unlike liquid fuel additives and repeat-use chemical cleaners, 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 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. 

Tested and approved by the US military

In 2002, following extensive testing at Camp Pendleton and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, the Senate Committee on Armed Services announced the carbon removal 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 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 all 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 a simple industry-standard before & after emissions test - exactly the same way liquid fuel additives are tested. But whilst a single proprietary test in a static engine has always been sufficient for the fuel additive companies, self-appointed experts deny the same equal standard applies to tin-antimony!! Hypocrisy aside, FTC has been repeatedly proven to industry-standard.

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 pellets 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 propaganda slogan 'if they were that good the manufacturers would fit them' was widely circulated. Over the last 80-years, this logical fallacy has been repeated so many times, especially in the UK, many have come to believe it. With propaganda slogans, sophistry and straw man tests, repeatedly used to mislead the public.****
