MORE 'HORSES', MORE Kilometers & Even MORE Savings

If you attempted at testing every fuel additive available in the market today, you would probably spend your entire lifetime running, your trials. Not only are there hundreds of different makes available, you will also find new ones landing on accessories shelves all the time. Just how fuel additives work is a big question regardless of the claims and often, the placebo-effect on the driver has a far greater impact than the combustion itself.

Broquet claims not to be an additive. The product neither dissolves in the fuel nor burns in the cylinder and is not even in liquid form. It looks like round marbles of lead but what exactly it constitutes is a Broquet secret. In any case, the pellets do not directly react with the fuel and hence do not dissolve. Instead, it does what is known in chemical science as catalysis and thus each Broquet pellet is a catalyst. The process of catalysis is an extremely complex one, but is nonetheless an important aspect of chemistry used widely and to great advantage in the petrochemical industry. In a catalytic process, the chemical reaction that takes place produces new compounds just as in any chemical reaction, but there is a big difference once a catalyst is present - the reaction takes place at a vastly increased rate. The catalyst in the meantime undergoes no physical or chemical change.

This is what happens in the catalytic converter of your car's exhaust system. The oxidation of hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxides to nitrogen dioxide for example are greatly accelerated due to the presence of the metal platinum, which plays the role of a catalyst. The platinum does not deplete or change into something else.

Broquet lives in the fuel tank causing molecular changes in the petrol, which will reverse some of the degradation that fuels experience and restructure the fuel for enhanced combustibility. All this means more complete combustion, lower carbon deposits and interestingly, less waxes and gum flowing out the exhaust manifold. Users of Broquet have reported advantages such as an increase in engine performance, improved fuel economy, smoother running and increased savings, which is even more crucial nowadays when pump prices are at an all-time high.

Best of all, Broquet lasts for up to 400,000km. That is equivalent to driving 10 times around Earth, along its Equator!
