A local news station here did a report on it while trying to inform people on how to save fuel.
The installer and another person (distributer?) swore by it. And, they made some claims about savings of no less than 10%

Im looking for some feedback on the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Any Informaition and opinions would be greatly appreciated.0 -
Snake oil, scam, fraud, etc etc.
No different than any of the other "fuel pills", magnets, etc out there. They'd be shut down if the FTC/EPA had the resources to go after tham all. Don't waste your money!0 -
here's an independent test
by an Australian group that found ZERO benefit when installed on 2 cars.

It's amazing to me how many otherwise intelligent people get taken in by these scams. I guess people just want to believe.
The test "data" on their website readslike a how-to manual for these frauds. I didn't look through all the papers, but the one on the large oil boiler looks pretty good - until you realize that they did the "before" test with a dirty boiler with a year's accumulation of soot. Of course they had to clean it out before installing their device so they could show how clean it stays. Gee, I wonder where the efficiency improvement came from in that case?0 -
Fitch fuel catalyst is a scam
This is a scam, just like fuel magnets, or the FuelReducer. There is no point in testing something like a "fuel catalyst" because the method by which it is supposed to work is just impossible.
I wouldn't waste my money. If anyone wanted to prove the obvious, they could simply pump some fuel through it and run the before and after samples through a mass spectrometer. Perhaps it would be fun for some university chemistry students. Obviously, if there were to be an increase in fuel mileage, then would have to be some chemical change in the fuel.
Here is my take on it:
