MPG Caps How does it work?
The MPG-CAPS combustion catalyst uses the fuel (gasoline or diesel) as a carrier to deliver it into the combustion chamber of the engine where it actually does its’ work. The MPG-CAPS formulation actually contains the precursor of the active catalyst. The actual MPG-CAPS combustion catalyst is activated by the burning of the fuel containing the MPG-CAPS and it then develops an ultra thin catalytic coating on the pistons, the head and the spark plugs. A simple similar example of this is the scorching of a pan when cooking. We are all familiar with how a residue from cooking will form a layer on a pan if the food is overheated. In most cooking cases, the amount of material oxidized is of sufficient quantity to form a heavy film.
However, if you scrub the pan many times, the film will get so thin it will be similar in appearance to the catalytic CAP coating we are describing. All you see is discoloration with a film so thin it appears to be part of the pan. The catalytic coating is RED so it is easy for you to tell when you have successfully completed the conditioning period (50 gallons consumed at a dose of 2 MPG-CAPS to 20 gallon) required to achieve the 10% MPG increase by simply checking to see if the spark plug is red. Since the temperatures and pressures inside the combustion chamber are so high, it is necessary to continue using MPG-CAPS, after the conditioning period, at a continuous use rate of one MPG-CAPS treats 20 gallons.
Once this catalytic coating is developed on the pistons, the head and the spark plugs by the conditioning dose, it provides several benefits. First and most important, it makes the fuel burn faster early in the combustion stroke (from 6 to 12 crank angle degrees after top center). This directly increases efficiency of the engine and reduces the peak in cylinder temperature. The lower peak temperature is likely to increase engine life because one of the factors causing engine component failure is high temperature fatigue. A second benefit of this RED combustion catalyst is that it prevents carbon and most lube ash deposits from accumulating on the piston and head. This reduces the octane appetite of the engine (allows you to use regular fuel rather than premium to avoid knock and pinging).
A third benefit is rhe reduction of ring land deposits, which improves ring seal and reduces excesive lube oil consuption. Finally, the catalytic coating also develops in the catalytic converter and on the outer housing of the oxygen sensor. Just like in cylinder, it provides a protective ultra thin catalytic coating that protects both parts from carbon deposits and improves their durability and can provide a long-term improvement in emissions.
In summary, I found many positive effects in using the MPG-CAPS. I found no negative effects but you must remember that the RED coating is catalytic, necessary to the performance of an automobile engine. Since most car engines burn fuel at over 99% efficiency, it is impossible to improve the completeness of combustion. However, MPG-CAPS develop a catalyst coating that makes the fuel burn faster so a more efficient burn is produced.
