Snake Oil Salesmen

[djefabs]

Where are they all ?????
In need of some SOLTRON and cannot raise a reply from Leyton or Dom /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Whats happened to them

 

[Pete7]

Leyton gave me a refund on my last order a couple of months ago after I complained to Soltron in NI about none delivery. If its too difficult to get hold of I will happily switch to something else but not sure quite what at the moment, any recommendations from the panel?

startron is soltron. Starbright bought rights to sell it under their own brand name

 

[MedDreamer]

Likewise I pm'd Depsol some weeks ago but no reply

 

[Andrew_Fanner]

Bought the stuff over the counter at Shepperton not that long ago.

Mmm, that's not what was said at the time. In fact I seem to remember HERE that Startron was rubbished /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

"we also sell SOLTRON(R) through Ocean Bio-Chem,Inc. (dba Starbrite)under the brand name "Startron," and through Xtra Export Trade under the brand name "XBee," throughout all of the European Union countries."

From Solpower's SEC filing

I was'nt doubting you, Brendan, just marveling at the flat denial of this situation when it happened /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Whilst on the subject of snake oils how about trying this in an oil burner /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif?

I recall some convoluted argument that the active ingredient from the US company wasnt the same as that from the Japanese group.

The real question we want Jez to find the answer to is - do any of them work with bio-diesel? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now I am really puzzled. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Startron make two different products

Startron for petrol that turns water into petrol
Startron for diesel that turns water into diesel

Soltron only ever did one product that turned water into fuel





If it is the same stuff how the ell does it know weather you want your water turned to diesel or petrol /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[BrendanS]

I still rather suspect that the two companies that distribute Soltron were sold separate rights to sell, and now both maintain that one is a copy of the other, when in fact they are near enough identical. I guess we'll never know.

I sent samples of contaminated fuel to the Late Leyton who was to have them tested & report back. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
i have been using soltron for 2 or 3 yrs so very interested in the bad fuel samples report. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
this is Verrrrrrrry bad PR for soltron /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

Aha, well. Update coming soon but there ARE additives out there that stop bio becoming cement in cold weather, and absorbing water - basically makes it act like derv.

 

[seadove]

Am I missing something here? Try the Soltron uk website for a raft of dealers. BTW, the late lamented Leyton was very insistent that Soltron was NOT the same as Startron.

 

[BrendanS]

solpower say that startron is rebranded soltron. They state so in their SEC submission. If they lie in that submission, they are liable to some pretty hefty fines.

 

[goochie]

I know he's late and lamented, but where the hell has he gone!!

 

[sailorman]

Testing my samples i suppose its a very long job, 7 months to date & counting /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I bought some in Cowes yesterday.

500 ml £29.95 seems a bit heavy to me but it does work.
