Seems there's no end to the snake oil-type products that pop up. I found some humor in this "StarTron's" website. They have the typical "testimonials" on how great the product is. One said the guy put it in his boat and where it got up on plane at 4000 RPM before the 'juice' now it gets up on plane at 3400 RPM!!!! Tell me how that can happen! The only way to get that RPM drop is to change the prop. Is this stuff so good that it even changes prop pitch??!
I put it in the same catagory as those silly 'Run your car on water'-hydrogen="HHO" generator 'Brown's gas' gadgets.

One man's snake oil is another man's cure......look at the ongoing arguments on Marvel Mystery Oil.....you are either for it and like it, or hate it and against it.....none of this is going to change anytime soon!

There is so much snakeoil in both automotive stuff and audio its sickening.

Special fluids, Special cables, special this, special that and NONE of it works yet millions swear by it.

Anyone got some magnets for their fuel lines?

Wonder if that would help or hurt the enzymes (or is it one enzyme per bottle?).

I think some of the guys using this product should try just straight naphtha and see if it works better or worse.

Thanks Mike. We need the confirmation that we are doing the right thing once in a while.

STARTRON by StarBrite has been around for about four years and is VERY popular in marine stores on Long Island where linear separation was first "discovered" by boaters storing their boats for winter.

StaBil's ethanol treatment, I believe is but one year old, but I am sure it is at least as good as Startron..
