Experience of using Fuel Doctor on Diesel

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

I agree Lemain, I'd prefer more scientific info on Soltron. I also agree there could be other explanations for the good result on my brother's boat, but I do genuinely believe Soltron cured it. There are lots of detailed factors in making me believe that, not listed out in my post above. But it is merely a belief I suppose (though not an entirely naive one - mechanical engineering graduate, Imperial)

I agree your fuel drain off approach but that wouldn't cure what happened to my my brother which was a delivery of bad fuel discovered while at sea. No draining off would have fixed that, if the whole fuel load were bad. Whereas had he put soltron in as a matter of course, I believe (can't prove) the problem wouldn't have occured

But yes, more science would be better. If I were soltron I'd publish loads more science because -if the stuff does what it says on the tin - it would surely help sales. Decent science would convert you and would have converted me sooner!

>>The Stoltron site in the US is quite informative,....<<

From that website..."Soltron® is pure fuel and will not hurt any engine if overdosed." Which is the conclusion I came to a couple of years ago. It seems to be pure paraffin, if "pure fuel" it is.

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

I know there is an great deal of anecdotal evidence about Soltron. However, Dom doesn't ever post much scientific evidence to support claims, which would do a great deal to support his product.

I've hammered magnetised products in the past, but would welcome some real evidence to support how Soltron works, rather than doing what other manufacturers of dubious claim do, which is to cite all sorts of spurious evidence, such as Navy purchasing codes, as being proof of efficacy.


I've supported in some way Soltron in the past, by summarising how I believe it works, based on my Molecular Biology background, but proof and scientific papers supporting the claims would be most welcome.

Xbee???

The Solpower website says that Soltron is "marketed under the Xbee® label throughout Europe". And indeed there is an . And, confusingly, there's also a <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.soltron-gtr.com/english.htm>Soltron-GTR website which warns "Due to trademark conflicts and imitation products in various parts of the world, Solpower Corporation advises customers to verify the source of any fuel treatment using the name Soltron™ or Xbee®". So if the genuine Soltron is marketed as Xbee throughout Europe, what's in the "Soltron" bottles we buy in the UK, I wonder?

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

Agree 100% Brendan. More science on Soltron would be excellent. The various claims made about NATO and such like dont do it.

Re: Xbee???

This post is going to be very short as I have gone down with some nasty lurgy and have only just managed to crawl up here to see this thread.

Soltron GTR and Xbee are not the Soltron you buy in England and throughout the retailers we have in Europe.

We are already looking to put more scientific evidence up on the web site and you should see some changes in the new year.

Now I am crawling back to bed.

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

I had an idea this evening...I think you said that you use Soltron? Why not draw off a jam jar full of treated fuel and put a few drops of water in. Then you can watch to see what happens. If what we hear is true then the water will be 'eaten' in a very short time.

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

Soltron is not a surfactant and is not designed to eat water so that experiment wont work. How about taking two contaminated dosages of fuel treat one with Soltron then pass them through a filter under pressure and measure the filtration difference ratio.

Does that not sound like a better (and proper) test?

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

Now you're back, what is the situation with Xbee, Solpower, Soltom (trademarked), Soltron (registered) etc> It's pretty confusing to the outsider

No confusion just carry on as you are.

Sounds pretty suspicious, Dom...

I asked a question yesterday about Xbee, which according to Solpower (the makers of Soltron) is the brand name for Soltron throughout Europe. If that's the case, I asked, what's in the bottles of "Soltron" which we buy in the UK? You answered "Soltron GTR and Xbee are not the Soltron you buy in England and throughout the retailers we have in Europe". Now Brendan asks the same question and you effectively say don't worry, just keep buying it. A proper explanation would be better, wouldn't it?

Re: Sounds pretty suspicious, Dom...

have asked this before & same of xbee.

Each claim that the other is selling an inferior version...no-where near as good & conflicting stuff about the inventor,manufacturers,being able to specify which enzymes/concentration + the other's no good 'cos it's mainly solvent.


eg ...."This is a copy of Soltron without the correct enzymes in it. If you think it will cure the bug in the same way.......think again it wont! It is the Americans failed attempt at trying to put Soltron into the European market but not the strain that was invented for general use its a much much weaker version.

Since then they have gone bust and have been bought out by GT unlike Soltron Solpower Ltd who are going from strength to strength. If you read the bull on there its says someone called Dr Makino invented it.....Dr Makino is a Doc who gets involved with peace treatys and such he is not an professor in enzyme technology.

Oh and as for the little R in a circle suggesting it is pukker by having a retail trade mark that too is false they dont even have a pending one.

Rant about the real facts of this Soltron wannabee product over. "

or ring/email xbee & ask them, not all their claims repeatable here.





Not impressed by nato stock no's , there must be loads of rubbish kit with a nato number.

To change the subject a bit

Heater was serviced, didnt work.
Filled up with fuel, was half full initially, heater still no work,
Put 500 mls of FuelSet into 1000 litres of fuel on the wednesday,
Heater worked on the Friday,
They said it would, could be a coincidence but.......

Re: One guy\'s experience of Soltron

>> How about taking two contaminated dosages of fuel treat one with Soltron then pass them through a filter under pressure and measure the filtration difference ratio.<<

Well, I doubt whether the incremental absolute pressure in the fuel system BEFORE the high pressure pump would be sufficient to affect any reaction of the sort you are talking about. Once it is past the high pressure fuel pump, it is past the primary and secondary fuel filters and whatever grot is in there is going straight into the injectors.

So I don't think that we need anything more sophisticated than a jam jar for this experiment. How about a jam jar and some filter paper? Put the sample with the required %age of Soltron into the jar, shake it and leave it for a set time. Then shake it again and pour it through the filter.

Coffee filter paper, kitchen roll or filter paper from a child's chemistry set should all be satisfactory, don't you think? The biggest problem will be in finding a contaminated sample, I suspect.

What is "fuel set"?

Fuel set is another product like soltron, used to condition red deisel
