It works. Brought 05 Taurus back to life.

A truer more accurate test would have been a full tank to clean out the injectors. The gas pumps are not that precise and the stoping mechanisms could vary. Nice effort, but I hope you can post the information from your next full fillup.

I just tried (2 weeks ago) the CRO and CRF in my 8th gen Civic SI (137k miles) and it sounds like a brand new car. I am super happy with it. I love the sound.

Milage may be lower due to the cleaner itself in the combustion process. The true test would be to run the tank to near empty and refill with gas and recheck the milage with just gas after the cleaner has hopefully done its job.

It treats 5-20 gals I ran it in 1/2 a tank and it worked get

I think that the differences in your mpg test is probably within the realm of statistical error. IOW, all the various things that account for your mileage measurement has some little differences between the first and second tests. Doing a single comparison between the additive and no additive in real world conditions is not enough times to account for variation in conditions.

I only have this to say.... Berryman's B-12 Chemtool seems to be the best bang for the buck in fuel system cleaners at $4-$5 a can. It shows the best results in multiple testing from multiple testers in multiple vehicles over long periods of time. Unlike most gas additives, B-12 burns when ignited with a flame. Most gas additives don't burn when ignited, so at the absolute very least, if Berryman's doesn't clean your engine well, it is at least working to run your engine. Also, gasoline itself is an excellent cleaner, so using a cleaner to give you better gas mileage (regardless what the bottle says) is not what it is for. It is to help clean carbon build up which MAY also improve mpg. It's for helping to clean the piston tops, upper cylinder, intake valves (possibly exhaust valves to a much lesser degree), injectors and maybe even the fuel pump where the gasoline's formulated additive package alone isn't capable of being any more effective. In fact, using cheap gas with Berryman's makes a lot of sense b/c Berryman's is a better cleaner than most name brand gasoline's additive package. If you can get Berryman's at a low enough price, you'll probably be ahead or break even money-wise over using Shell with Nitrogen (which is questionable if Shell 87 oct even has the same nitrogen package that their 91 oct has- they tell you nothing!). At least you know Berryman's is in your tank cause you put it there! This is just my opinion and I know and respect other opinions, except sponsored ones.

I didnt expect to be watching 'plinko exposed' today, but here we are. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the testing & upload. This stuff is a lot of work.

I had a 2012 kia rio that i bought brand new. When it was new I would get 30-35 mpg without trying. So over time my mpg gradually dropped over the 10 years that I've owned it and around 100k miles I was getting 27-28 mpg. Never ran fuel cleaner through it. I ran 1 bottle, $27, of BG 44K Platinum through it. The next tank on the same exact commute, I got 37 mpg. So when I watched this video and heard 'my car runs with no issues' I was not surprised at the results. My car was way down on mpg so I probably had clogged fuel injectors. If you don't have clogged fuel injectors, nothing is going to change. I now run a bottle once a year for maintenance.

Next time try Berryman B-12 Chemtool!

The minute you said TURBO my mind said engine wont last 100k. TURBOs beat engines to DEATH, nothing is going to repair the damage from the abuse a turbo does to an engine. You got a turbo for reason and was aware of the cost of the added pick up which is early death of you the engine.

Like that amx coulda bought red 390 four speed for 650 back in 1979 a nice one too

Ford 🚗 quality SUCKS. Period. Full Stop. ✋

Thank you so much sir for making this video. That rattling noise is the VVT gears. Evidently if it gets carbon build up on there it causes one of the pieces to fall or not fall back into place (it could also be a guide going bad.) If you send the oil to Blackstone it might show excessive metal if it's really bad. I think once it starts rattling there is no way to fix it w/o replacing the VVT gears.

Nice. I just purchased the toyota factorey class III hitch which installs the same way except it fits completely behind the black plastic bezel of the rear bumper (about 2” higher). Comes with a new split bezel. Thanks for showing the basics!

Timing chain and adjusters.

should have done the mileage test with untreated gas after using up all the treated gas. Its not going to instantly clean the fuel system and im sure the cleaners got less energy per gallon than gas

Is it possible that your car's fuel injectors were already clean and did not need the CRF 505 treatment? That plus that there is no way that you can accurately gauge the gallons used with any real precision, so it looks to me like there was virtually no change in the MPG which brings me back to my original question. If the car did not need cleaning then I would not expect a change in MPG.

Great video! What camera are you using?

for the price ill pass

watched this same product used on an engine that was running bad and it worked great. Milage wasn't even mentioned, maybe its better at cleaning out your injectors than milage. If your milage check was only I mile per gallon I don't think you can blame this product. Especially if the engine was running good, to many other factors involved.

Try Braggs apple cider vinegar. It works on everything. Lol

Dodge is absolutely junk to!!

My personal experience. I have found that STP Ceramic Nano, quiets my engine, feels smother, and improved my gas mileage.

This is great. So much easier having a video than reading paper instructions.

Possibility cleaning successful, .... but the clattering is a mechanical issue, not sludge accumulation !? 505 product did as advertised !

ATS application instructions; into 5-20gallons, then out for a run . I took my '96 Sierra for a run (w/ 505CRF) to almost empty then topped up fuel tank as usual (for mpg calc.) will go for same run again asap. $$$ expenditure on (treatment/test runs) gas @ $1.40/ltr. ($6.36/cdn gal.) up here. LoL

You are experiencing the effects of oil starvation to bank 1 - caused by a bad oil pump design: oil gets pushed out of the pump mating surface bypassing the normal oil circuit. Check your oil pressure. Replace the cam phasers and the oil pump with a cast iron one.

Thank you! great video! About to put one of these hitches on my brother in laws highlander in a couple hours and this is just what I needed to be watch to be prepped to knock it out quickly.

So helpful, this is a really great step-by-step video. Thank you!!

Snake Oil

thank you for doing this 505 crf is freaking expensive is it worth it compared to cheaper brands? you earned a sub

You didn't record the ambient temperature. That can make a difference. I've been a drag race and noticed the cats get faster as the ambient temperature drops. I've also had to clean my spark plugs after doing a fuel injector & throttle body cleaning service. The stuff that comes off the valves ends up on the spark plugs. So either clean them and reuse them or change them.

The fuel cleaner any good compared to Techron?

Well i just ordered some because my car smokes lightly out the exhaust and doesn't always respond the same so I'm assuming injectors.

Chemical cleaners don't fix issues with the actual internal components 😊

You can't expect the fuel nozzle to click off at the same fill level every time. I bet you can get a couple quarts differrance just with nozzle clicks. A real test would be on a dyno with a certain measured amount of fuel. Or maybe a scan tool can tell you actual consumption based off fuel pump flow idk if that's possible or not. Scott Kilmer figures that if your fuel trim was high before you used the cleaner and then that trim decreases on average after using the cleaner then your saving fuel at any driving condition. It makes sense but still requires more samples to prove.

not to add in the extra cost of the potion :)

I have found that synthetic oil and changing oil every 6 months or 5000 miles which ever comes first goes a long way. ATF/Gear Lube every 2 year or 24,000 miles which ever comes first! I think most people wait to long to use "magic elixirs" maybe adding this to routine maintenance every 2 years on anything with VVT and Turbo Charger's might be a thing in the future since oil consumption and VVT issues are getting more and more common across all brands!

Fun video. I wonder if you put the disc up at the top with the other hand and the initial “fall” went left of the first peg, if the distribution at the bottom would have skewed to the left. What if the starting point wasn’t in the middle at the top but over a couple spots left or right?

Thanks for doing this test and doing it all as well as any normal viewer should expect. I enjoyed the video. I’m wondering if you could do the test again and see if another try would result in just about the same results again or not. Have you tried a second bottle of ATS since this video?

Yeah, 3 months after purchase, still no product. I asked for a refund today. Lucas Oil has never failed me.

Make sure you clean egr valve and pcv valve.

The cost of additive is the added mpg. ☹️

This is basically the equivalent of trying to cure Anthrax with urine. Snake oil......

So Scotty Kilmer is FOS. I already knew that but there's a sucker born every second.

I always test on a full tank to an empty tank. Put the additive into a 1/4 tank of gas and run it through. Then fill it up and run the test on another full tank to empty. Gives a much better view of accuracy and your fuel pump shutoff accuracy has less of an impact.

The pump will give you a bad reading . 1/4 to 1/2 a gallon will throw off your mileage .

Love the AMX in the background.
