Anyone use Archoil Fuel Treatment?

I was surfing my youtube channels and came up on a few newer video's from powerstrokehelp. He seems to be really pushing this stuff for the diesels. So i jumped online and looked around and seems like this stuff has great reviews for gas and diesel engines. Most say they get 1 to 2 mpg average and some up to 4mpg better using this stuff along with a better running vehicle.

So is this another snake oil? Or could it be something that actually works.

Hoping Labnerd will pop in and give some feedback

Powerstrokehelp.com is giving free samples of it until the end of april and its good for 80 gallons of gas. Just pay 4.95 shipping and handling. I went ahead and ordered it just to see.

Per MSDS it's 80% pale oil and 20% naptha. Sound familiar? Add a splash of 90% alcohol and you have seafoam. They make some of the most absurd claims on their website though. I really needed the laugh, thanks.

I think I'll try it in the 6.4L when I get back from the desert.

I don't believe in any of that junk.

If you use good quality fuel, quality oils and filters, and do regular maintenance, you shouldn't have a problem.

I find the only way engines break down quicker is one of two things... one being abuse, and second being manufacturing defects.

Besides, the average for normal rebuild time for a typical non-heavy duty engine is roughly 225-275k miles (7,000-10,000 hours), and I've seen cars/trucks go to the scrapper with way less than that, with the engine and other parts obviously scavenged.

The ones who brag about their mileage are the lucky ones.
