Fitch Fuel system - product review

Gas prices got you down? Slip some Fitch in your tank and some cash back in your pocket!

Have you been to the gas pump lately? With regular gas pushing 90 cents per litre and premium now almost a $1.00 per litre (that would be more than 4 bucks a gallon folks), it’s a good time to have a look at the unique gas-saving, emission-reducing Fitch Catalyst system.

Yeah, I know you have all heard of all the “other” gas saving devices on the market. If you installed every piece of fuel-saving equipment on your vehicle
we should all be getting 100 miles to the gallon in our big block Chevy trucks, right? Well, we all know that isn’t the case.
The Fitch system comes in a variety of sizes for everything from your lawn mower, to your motorcycle, vehicle or ship.
The canister Fitch system we have installed on our Cherokee includes a kit with everything you need to complete the install in under a half-hour. Installation kits are individually tailored for different vehicle makes.

What the Fitch system does offer is a unique and effective approach for users of all types of fuel, whether it’s regular gas, diesel, two-stroke mix, or marine gas.
By nature, fuel starts to break down as soon as the refining process takes place.

We have all heard how fuel“goes bad” after sitting for too long. But how do you know if the fuel you buy at the pump hasn’t already been sitting for months before you fill up at the gas station?

What the Fitch system does – in a simplified explanation– is re-refine the gas before it is burned in your engine. This process returns the fuel to peak octane levels – regardless of age.
The install kit we received came with two straight and two 90-degree fittings. Hydraulic-style connectors prevent any fuel leakage. Make sure you install the canister with the arrow pointing in the direction of fuel flow.

This small unit is designed to drop into a motorcycle fuel tank or gas container. This gives you an idea of what is inside the larger vehicle-size canister.
The pellets are made up of specialized alloys which restore fuel to its refined octane values for better performance, combustion and cleaner burning.
