Platinum fuel saving bullshit

Platinum Injection System, Platinum-based combustion enhancers, PVI, CTech 3000… all bullshit…

HMFSales is one company selling this crap, it turns out HMF Sales are none other than my old friend Trevor Hunter of HHOTech. HMFSales / Trevor Hunter are resellers for National Fuel Saver, a company widely associated with scams and cons.

On Trevor’s site it says that the inventor of the “technology” was pursued by the government for making false claims…

… after five years of US Government study, the inventor won his case with flying colors. In fact the case was so convincing that the Federal Judge ruled that the US Government must pay legal expenses…

Trevor does not point to any particular company or inventor, however… I suspect it is simply a complete lie, the only EPA report on Platinum-based combustion enhancers I can find can be read here, the conclusion was that the device had no significant effect on either economy or emissions. Following this testing in 2002, the company in question were fined $75,000 for making false claims and subsequently lost their 2004 appeal too.

Trevor also says on his website that engines only burn 68% of their fuel, this is also a complete lie. Most modern engines burn upwards of 99% of their fuel, with only 1% being wasted. If the platinum enhancer worked as described, and it does not, then the extra fuel that your engine burnt rather than wasted would result in about a 1% increase in power, not he 22% to 28% that is claimed on the “hmfsales.com” website.

    I’m prety bored of Trevor Hunter’s spamming my blog. All of his responses to what I have to say about his fuel saver have been consolidated and moved to here http://www.eco-scams.com/archives/705 where I have responded to his points.

  2. eco-scams.com » Blog Archive » Trevor Hunter from HHOTec / HMFSales… again…:

    [...] Hunter from HHOTec has been posting a lot of comments this week to my blog-post on his nonsense Platinum Fuel Saver - his comments have become so so frequent ad long that I have stopped approving them as they are [...]

    I just saw this crap on an enthusiast board and wanted to see for myself. Amazingly, they have created their own http://motortrend.hhotek.com/motortrend.html website. I cant believe that they haven’t gone after this piece of shit. I hope you have some pull and can get this sucktard taken down with his blatant lies.
