I mounted my Fitch Fuel Catalyst between my HHO Mason Jar and my neodymium fuel magnets...
Of course I'm also using a Tornado Vortex Generator Fuel Saver as well....
Before anyone buys a product like a "fuel catalyst" they should spend an afternoon down at the bookstore or library and read some books about chemistry and physics. What I'd really like to do is buy one, crack it open and have the contents sent away to be analyzed. Probably full of rat turds, lead sinkers and gummy bears....
I'm serious about the lead though, I'd bet anything thats the primary component of this piece of garbage. Lead will boost octane but on modern cars it whacks out the emissions catalyst which would explain why people see initial results followed by declining gas mileage...

Many can speculate as to why the JK, like so many other computer controlled vehicles, do not come from the factory with power programmers, modified intake systems, and of course, fuel enhancement systems. I believe I can narrow down the reasons to one simple answer. Manufacturing costs. Keep it affordable enough for the general population to purchase.

I have tried to answer this question many times, but I keep coming up with several different answers. This topic alone would be worthy of a thread all by itself.

100% true! That's the reason the JK's come with cheap @ss plastic bumpers. In fact the stock rear bumper has no metal in it at all it's ALL plastic!

It is a wonderful thing, that as Americans, if we want to put a Fitch whatever under our hood, we our able to do so. Even if most of us think it's a load of crap. I love this country!

It doesn't help that JP magazine ran an article about how the Fitch Fuel module gave them an increase in gas mileage after they installed one on their vehicle.
