The Fitch® Fuel Catalyst reformulates gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, propane and natural gas causing the reformulated fuels to produce more energy during combustion than these fuels otherwise would. It is a true catalyst which by definition causes one or more chemical reactions but does not participate in them. Because it doesn't participate in the reaction, unlike additives, it is not consumed in the reaction and thus lasts for years after initial installation. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst also has no moving parts and is thus maintenance free.

Fitch Technology, under European Community (EC) regulations, is certified for significantly reducing fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

Because the Fitch Fuel Catalyst causes a more complete combustion, it also reduces pollution and toxic emissions in the form of greenhouse gases, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, particulates and soot. When combustion is complete and 100% of the potential energy is extracted from the fuel the byproducts of combustion are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and nitrogen (N). Toxic emissions such as greenhouse gases are a byproduct of incomplete combustion. Because the Fitch Fuel Catalyst causes more complete combustion these toxic emissions are reduced substantially.  Maintenance costs and unscheduled downtime are also significantly reduced because of reduced carbon build up.

Using Dart Mass spectrometry Dr. Steven Suib and members of the Suib Research Group at the University of Connecticut were able to identify four positive molecular changes  the Fitch Fuel Catalyst induced in treated fuels. This research was, in part, funded by a grant from the United States Department of Energy.  

The Fitch technology has been validated numerous times including by a university laboratory, a number of independent engineering test facilities using ASTM test protocols, a number of independent performance testing facilities, a number of publications and by our customers. Below is a small sample of the validations.

In simple terms this is how the Fitch Fuel Catalyst works.

Validation by independent Performance Testing Facilities

A number of independent performance testing centers have tested the positive impact of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst on gasoline, diesel fuel and fuel oil. They have reported positive improvements in both performance and emissions.

4 Wheel Drive SUV

"With the device in place these numbers made a noticeable jump with an average of 9.6 mpg. The extra pep that was detected felt like we had added an octane booster at the last fuel fill up, and it will continue to perform in this manner without the need for replenishing. If you’re after improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and improved performance then the Fitch Fuel Catalyst can deliver."  Read more

IRON WORKS TOM JOHNSON
FITCH FUEL CATALYST-EASY HORSEPOWER FOR YOUR V-TWIN (FRONT COVER OF ISSUE) 

"Tom Johnson recently dyno tested the Fitch Fuel Catalyst (FFC) on a 1994 Ultra Classic using a DynoJet 150 kindly provided by S & S Cycles, Inc. Below are some of the quotes from his 6 page article which IronWorks featured on its cover. 

The test "showed an increase of 1.4 hp/1.2 ft lbs.at peak power (6200 rpm) with a gain of almost 3.5 hp at 5500 rpm." "In an engine that has been optimized through careful tuning, gaining three horsepower, even two horsepower, is big news, cause for celebration"  

Further, the graphs showed that the engine was reaching some horsepower and torque figures as much as 500rpm sooner with the catalyst than without it. For me that translates to 'faster quicker'." 

"Still not convinced that I was convinced? Back home after the dyno test I immediately lined up FFC's for my knucklehead stroker and '40 Ford hot rod."

SNOW TECH MAGAZINE  

"We have been using the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in most every gasoline powered engine we own. We continue to experience nothing but fresh fuel and an elimination of fuel related problems with all of our seasonal equipment. Year after year, no green crap, no varnish, no gum, and the gas acts like it is still premium grade. Even after six months the fuel does not go stale, it actually seems to get better. Think of the Fitch as a 'Fuel Sentry' bacteria inhibitor, octane booster, and fuel stabilizer all in one."  Read more

"We have tried the Fitch Fuel Catalyst many times and it really makes a difference. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst cured a hot weather detonation problem on our Buell Cyclone. Throttle response is more crisp. Fuel economy went from 120mpt (miles per 4gal tank) to 137mpt. 4+ more miles per gallon or over 10% more miles per dollar.” Read more

"Consulting engineers, Walter T. Gorman PE, PC reviewed the product and recommended that it be “incorporated into your buildings energy and emissions reduction plans.”

“The technology rejuvenates and preserves fuel in storage or just prior to use insuring premium fuel quality and optimum combustion and energy yield,” writes Gorman. “The results are increases in fuel economy, fuel quality, and heat output as well as reductions in emissions and equipment maintenance.”

Jeffrey Gural, the chairman of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, gave the converter a test run on a sample of the firm’s properties during the winter of 2011 and after a successful trial, made plans to outfit all of the firm’s oil-heated properties by 2014.

Already approved by the New York City Building Department and currently installed in over 900 properties throughout the city, the converters are expected to deliver a 7 percent reduction in fuel usage per year." Read more
