Posted: 00:24 - 25 Jun 2018 Post subject: What kind of Snake Oil is tankchip? |
|
|
Saw this ad in MCN for something called tankchip. Its apparently some metallic amalgam which when dropped into the fuel tank does some voodoo to your fuel and improves engine performance.
Www.tankchip.com
So any truth in its claims to work or the interesting claim it was used in Hurricane fighters deployed in WW2 by the Russians over the Eastern Front?
Cheers |

Your link didn't work for me
this one does though
https://tankchip.com/
It may just be TEL which has been about since the 1920s and may not be very legal now due to the lead content
brief quote from wiki:
Aviation spirits with TEL used in WWII reached 150 octane to enable supercharged engines such as the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Griffon to reach high horsepower ratings at altitude

I recall testing of various products, including broquet and the like when 4 star was withdrawn from the market.
None of the in tank "catalysts" did anything measurable and did not prevent valve seat recession.
I'll see if i can find the original testing done, this refers to it under 'metal pellets'

Seems the Broquet Catalyst is tin based and may actually be a real thing. I found and old thread on a forum where someone claims Japanese cars imported from Japan where higher octane fuel is used would have these catalysts fitted in the tank. https://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-70278.html |

Back home I expect the RAF stopped buying expensive fuel and just lobbed a few lumps in. |
