Weaver,

as Lead and cats knackers don't work - sorry that didn't come out right

Starting again - the Broquet does not contain lead but an alloy of four metals primarily tin - to avoid the lead/cat issue.

someone above mentioned that if this device could be fitted by manufacturers to allow people the use of cheaper petrol.

I am fairly sure quite a large portion of motor manufacturers would be delightfully happy to tell you to put any petrol in your car, happy in the knowledge that once out of warranty they can make a fresh kill.

I sold mitsi's, lada's, seats, fso's, fiatsand protons (plus used cars) in the late 80's. My bosses dropped the mitsi franchise as the things never broke down, so they never got a chance to make decent money, whereas the others (at the time) were ripe pickings once the warranty had finished.

The warranty is offered to make you think of piece of mind, security. In reality its to tie you to main dealer servicing (also allowing them to fiddle the odd warranty claim) and condition you to taking the car to them when theres problems, then once the warranty finishes................

Its hurtin time.

I'm intending to add the broquet fuel catalyst to my Impreza Turbo when it arrives from Holland next month. I'm 100% happy that this will not damage the car and I'm about 80% confident that it will actually improve performance and fuel efficiency. Given these odds I'm prepared to gamble the amount asked and give it a go. I'm concerned as to how I get them into the tank though. They won't fit through the filler pipe and I'm not happy with messing about with the fuel tank for safety reasons. Is this a safe and easy process for a 5dr SIT? Should I get my local dealer to fit it?

No you shouldn't.

They would charge you for the easiest job in the world.

Look at boot floor just behind seats, remove two plastic covers hld down by self tappers.

Exposes two metal covers which house fuel tank senders. Undo bolts 8 or 6 (can't remember) on each side. Lift up and chuck in( one on each side). Then reseal all screws.

Some people have commented that in retrospect they would have liked to attach a nylon thread around the unit and attach the other end to the sender arrangement so that they could remove them if possible.

I didn't do that but also see no reason too. I have been nothing but happy with mine.

Well worth the £100 or so for the increase in smoothness alone.

Engine pick up increases in refinement, and range has overall improved by 10 - 15 miles per tank.

Still use super though and am going to start using octane booster too. Broquets claims about block temp, and emissions are genuine and can be scientifically proven. They cannot however claim to eliminate knock so I do not intend to rely on that. Definitely make a difference and hopefully increase safety net against knock but certainly not a one step cure.

Bob Rawle has done some testing and I believe if you do a search under this heading you will find his conclusions.

I fitted a pair of Broquets last week to my STi2. I don't know what it's doing but it is doing something.
The car idles better and is smoother at low revs, also the turbo seems to spool up earlier and with less of a bang. Don't know whether the fuel consumption is any better yet.
Downside:
Geting the nuts off the fuel tank cover in an STi is horrible as there is no room to get at the back screws.
The turbo no longer kicks as hard, reducing the fun factor.
The accelerator is more manic at motorway speeds, requires more concentration to keep your speed down.

All in all I think it was worth it.

Very old thread I know. But what happened, did anyone perform any tests or what?

Wow blast from the past.
So my P1 broquets are having what effect on Tesco 99 ron?

Well I haven't seen this thread for a while

Surely Broquet can't still be going if it's such a scam as people believe. And, as I pointed out in another thread, there are still rubbish reports written about it

BROQUET Quater Mile

and look what users actually have to say

What would they know?

How does it work. It touches on that here.

BROQUET PRODUCT SUMMARY

Of course most people on SN know a lot better, especially those that have never tried it

David Lock I think you should reveal your interest in these devices.

After 8 years there have still been no tests when a simple back to back dyno run (cost £100 max, take 2 hours) would reveal all. What does that tell you?

Lots more info here Tony's Guide to Fuel Saving.

It's a snake oil scam.

David Lock

Since my name is plastered all over the links I would have thought my involvement was pretty obvious.

It's been my life's work for 20 years so you can see why I get pretty pissed off when someone comes on here having done no reserach and never having tried the product and says it's a scam.

I have dozens of dyno tests. And you know what people say - ah the ambient temperature changed. Have a browse here if you like.

But perhaps I have misunderstood your post. Perhaps you have given it a proper trial and found it not to do what we claim?
