The advertising media is constantly barraging us with products for our engines
and fuel system. "It's a miracle", they say. After this engine was treated with our
product, we froze it in a block of ice for a week, then chipped away enough ice for the
fan to spin, and it started on the first try! Could this be true? Possibly. If it is,
then shouldn't I use this product in my car? Not necessarily. Gasoline advertisements,
fuel additives, oil, oil additives the ads just keep coming. I'd like to share with you
with one man's opinions and experiences.
I bought a 1974 V-8 automobile last summer and it was in great running condition. Naturally,
I was interested in keeping it that way. So, before I put a drop of gas or oil in it, I asked
around for opinions. They weren't in short supply. It seemed that everyone had a different
take on the matter, and few had any real facts to back up the opinions. So I fell back on my
own unfounded opinion "only the very best will do".
First, a tank full of gas. The best I can get at the local pumps is 94 octane, so I filled up
on it. The car is running great. I bought lead additive to keep in the trunk in case I
couldn't reach a station with 94 octane at the pump.
Now I needed some oil. I went for a
standard type oil, and a brand I believe in (advertising does work). The car is still running
and sounding great. Knowing that this car was built in the day of leaded fuel, I used lead
additive in each tank with nothing more to back up that decision.
