Broquet Catalyst

[wolfy]

I fitted one a few days ago and have put about 120 miles on the bike and the engine runs noticeably smoother and picks up much more strongly. The claims appear to be true in this particular case. I'm pretty stoked with it. Anyone else tried one of these?

I don't know what a "broquet catalyst" is.
Can you give us info / a link to a web-site ?

Thanks,

Think this is the one he means but not sure, It dose sound good tho.

That's the one - I got the 5-bead one for £62 - a bit of a gamble but I had a feeling that if it works at all, it'll work for quite old engines, mine's 67k miles. And it really does work, I'm chuffed to bits. Unless the engine explodes this afternoon or anything, all appears to be well

[skyhook]

Would like to know if you got the in tank one, or the inline one ?.

Also some more research on your part would be nice as I might just invest in one meself.

[rj2para (Bisto)]

Sounds interesting.

Like "picks up much more strongly" as well

[wolfy]

It's the in tank one - just robbed it in there at the tap side. Just had a nice blat over to Chesham this evening, seems to have freed up some more, which is nice

I'm with Skyhook on this. It sounds too good.
Which means I'm not convinced that it actually works.

If it really was that good, all the major vehicle manufacturer's would have fitted one as standard, wouldn't they ?

I would have thought so too - but on a bit of research I decided I'd give it a go and see what happens. Obviously I've only got a test sample of one, i.e. my bike - so it can't be deemed as proof that the things work consistently. On the other hand, I checked very carefully that there were no other variables before and after, even the weather and humidity were the same, and I had noticeable improvements that seem to have increased further.

So - not necessarily a blanket recommendation, but I'm happy!

...and if the engine explodes into a 500yd trail of shrapnel on the A413 this morning, I'll report back accordingly ;D ;D

If your still in one piece that is.........lol

Hope it turns out to be good as I am thinking of getting one for the Yam.

I'll try to update again in a few weeks to let you know how it's going.

[wolfy]

Not a few weeks, admittedly, but better late than never - the engine is probably the best bit of the bike, no idea if it would be worse, better, or the same without the catalyst. Non-scientific non-result, but nevertheless I'm enjoying it greatly.

I can confirm that metal catalysts do indeed work and work well to treat the fuel for use in older engines without hardened valve seats but as for the `claimed` fuel increases well..........
For interest read the `history`.:

You all might find this intertesting too:

i wonder if a few strips of baked bean can bunged in the tank would suffice...
