[cptshed]

After all the rave reviews from you wise forumites, i've just got back from St Mawes
where I purchased the Holy Soltron. Cant wait to get down to the boat tomrrow to
introduce it to my freshly serviced engine.
Then playing on the boat until Tues' morning! up to Fowey tomorrow then just see
what we feel like from there.
Hope everyone is going out play, looks like it might be good (thats jinxed it now!!!)

Have a good one,Nige.

Is there a Chandlery in St.Mawes, or has hlb got a satellite distribution centre down there ?
Didn't realise there was anything there apart from nice little harbour, a couple of pubs and some super properties.
Hope to call in later in the "Summer" if new boat purchase goes through.

I added 2 bottles of X-Bee (=Soltron) to my fuel 7,5 hrs ago.
Off to wash transom now! Frankly speaking no wonders have occurred yet. Maybe something will show either in consumption figures or better combustion later. I am not moving arround a lot the coming days but will deliver my experiences later if another Soltron discussion arise. I'm very suspicious but ready to test anything that keep the boat cleaner.

XBEE IS NOT (yes I am shouting so everyone can hear this) AND I REPEAT XBEE IS NOT SOLTRON !!!

Please do not associate Xbee with Soltron it is not the same Soltron that is licenced in UK/Europe. Its registered trademark is false as it has no registered trade mark with the proper authorities and it does not even have a pending registered trademark.

Xbee has nothing to do with Soltron whats so ever. If you want to test the real McCoy its available in Sweden and soon in Finland through A Filter in Gottenburg.

Impressive web site does not clear your fuel contamination problem I am afraid to say.

Best of luck.

Xbee is Solton, or not? Plse explain

Dom:
This is unsatisfactory. You are involved in selling Soltron commercially yet the poor punters here are left with conflicting and unexplained statements.

You say above that Xbee and Soltron are different, unconnected. Yet Xbee website categorically says it is Soltron but marketed under a different name, and it the composition sounds similar ie enzyme based etc. It uses the same logo (the thingy in the first O in Soltron) as your website Dom, and the url begins solpower.com - solpower make soltron don't they? The Xbee stuff even claims "significantly" to improve mpg, so dead ringer for solly

So to the punter it all looks the same stuff. But you say above "Xbee has nothing to do with Soltron whats so ever". Will you please explain then why two unconnected outfits are using the same logo and one of them is claiming to be a rebadged version of the other?

Chocolate in one country ie peanut M&Ms taste difffernt in other countries although the wrapping and name are the same.

Hope you understand what I mean as I dont want to go into too much for legal reasons.

Re: Xbee is Solton, or not? Plse explain

I think the customer is owed a better explanation. The "legal reasons" sounds a bit of a convenient excuse. Is the product you are selling Dom the same one that Solpower (the US company) make? And /or is it licensed or authorised by Solpower, or manufactured by an affiliate of Solpower?

The different product in same wrapper misses the point I was making. That analogy holds when one company sells a different version of its product in differnt countries, to cater for different local preferences. But you said "Xbee has nothing to do with Soltron whatsoever" . If it were the case that one big firm (solpower) were selling a different version in different territories, like the M&Ms example, what you said would not be a true statement. Is it a true statement?

Re: Xbee is Solton, or not? Plse explain

I am not the right person to respond to this publically and will not do so.

If you guys want to buy xbee that is nothing to do with me however I will say this xbee and Soltron from the USA is not the same blend as you buy in Uk/Europe

JFM you of all people should know that when legalities are involved it is not for me to broadcast it on this forum. Cop out or not I know you wouldnt.


A good search of the web going back 5-8 years may be your best answer.

Well, I guess my earlier thoughts abt fuel additives STP etc. are more or less confirmed. Soltron UK seem to be distributed ref. to the website in "UK and European Ecomonic area". Haven't seen it outside the MBY forum though, dispite extensive travelling. With the stuff bought I'm still off to wash the transom tomorrow morning. Its not really a big problem but anything that reduces work is always welcome. In my area many qualities of diesel is sold. The "red" diesel is cheapest but also dirtiest. "Eco" diesel is considerably cleaner, reduces power some. Seem like the oilcompanies could do the trick if they wanted. - But we are the guys complaining about the price (yes, same here).

You can still transom discloration even whilst using Soltron. the difference is that you can wipe the muck off if you use Soltron if you dont then you have scrub it off.

I get a little after a while under my bathing platform but just wash it off with my hand and some sea water.

Re: Xbee is Solton, or not? Plse explain

It is confusing

each party seem to claim that theirs is the proper formulation by the japanese(?) genius & the other a pale imitation .

Indeed, Xbee make almost identical amazing claims for their stuff as soltron do.

a pdf <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.windywoo.f9.co.uk/xbee_story.pdf>here</A> that xbee send out claims that soltron is the first generation formula being sold by the genius's salesman, with added alcohol (!) ...while theirs is 3rd generation with "dissolved organic booster" ( woo hoo!)


So, are both products even inventions of the same guy? surely not, if "Xbee has nothing to do with Soltron whats so ever"....?

Re: Xbee is Solton, or not? Plse explain

Xbee claim that Soltron was invented by Dr Makino where Soltron was actually invented/discovered by Dr Sasnuma whom I will be meeting on 17th August. Alan Priddy has met him whilst in Japan and he is the person whom Soltron Solpower Ltd deal with to make any adjustment to the enzyme content.

Dr Makino on the other hand is a man who is involved witht he WHO I think or something similar and has nothing to do with the Soltron you buy for your boat.

Go figure it for yourselves, you pays your money and you takes your chances. Claims are claims and you can only judge things for yorselves by trying it and seeing if it works.
