Archoil

Has anyone tried Archoil AR6200 fuel additive? I have, and I'm a firm believer. My MPG's got so much better, especially on the highway, the car idles better and the injector "tick" is a bit quieter. Plus it is a fuel dryer, I did an ethanol test at the Shell station where I usually get gas, 93 octane had about 9% ethanol, when I added the archoil, it went down to 1-2%. Im looking into trying their oil additive, AR9100 Friction Modifier. Archoil is popular with Powerstroke owners because it helps with injector stiction, but it can also be used in gas engines. Its good stuff
 
I got a free little thing of it to try and I got hooked, spent the $50 for the 8oz bottle that treats like 640 gallons. You really don't use much of it, super concentrated.

Yeah I bought the 8oz fuel and the 16oz oil.

Did some research into the fuel additive and found out GE uses it in their diesel locomotive engines as well as large cargo ship engines with great results.
 
I'm looking forward to your results with the oil additive. I'm almost at my 55,000 OCI, switching to Amsoil possibly with the archoil additive depending on if you like it. Keep us posted!

How can it lower the ethanol?
 
I would also like to know how it lowers ethanol content.

Cause that's not necessarily a good thing in DI cars anyway....

I wonder if the ethanol absorbs it like H2O????

The reason I'm asking is because it can't. The methanol does not absorb the water, it allows the water to become soluble in the gas which allows it to be removed when it goes through the engine with the gas. This stuff shouldn't be able to make ethanol disappear, it just puts it somewhere else.
 
I don't know what happened with the ethanol, if it was just a mid read or a reaction with my cheap kit, no clue, but the kit did register a lower reading with the archoil. But maybe it's just the cheap test thing I had

Right from their page.

"AR6200-EU is suitable for all liquid hydrocarbon fuel types of varying quality including gasoline, ethanol, biofuels, heating oil, 2-stroke mixes and heavy oils such as bunker fuel.
AR6200-EU protects the entire fuel system and pump when using E5, E10 or other bio ethanol blended gasoline. It is also a perfect additive for bio-diesel and bio-diesel blended fuels providing an effective lubricity barrier. The catalyst technology facilitates a cleaner burn to prevent deposit build-up."
 
The whole reason I tried archoil was because of powerstrokehelp.com. Bill, the owner sent me a free sample

Been want to try for some time now. Especially in my PTU. There products come highly rated.

I just used some Marvel Mystery Oil last week. Can't say for sure about mpgs, but so far it looks like I'm up a little bit. The injector tick is definitely quieter after just one dose of 4 ounces per tank. Also got the tip from the truck guys.

I signed up for the free sample from archoil to try it out. Just need to pay 4.95 shipping.
The sample treats 80 gallons

Here's the link if anyone is interested. It's for the fuel treatment only.

yup, that's what I did, I got hooked, and bought the $50 thing of it. You guys should watch his videos, he's hilarious. The proceeds from his archoil sales goes to a program he runs to rehabilitate veterans and training them to become diesel techs
One thing I forgot to note about the fuel additive, once I started using it, my tailpipes have stayed clean/or a helluva lot cleaner then they were.

Just got the stuff Friday but I'm only running the fuel treatment. I'm going to put the oil additive in when I change oil next time.

So far it seems like the "normal" noise the injectors made have become more subdued.

Methanol is hygroscopic, it does absorb the water.

http://web.eng.ucsd.edu/mae/groups/combustion/NASA/water.html

Data comes from here

http://web.eng.ucsd.edu/mae/groups/combustion/NASA/micro-g.html#Theoretical%20Study

Most likely a bad test though...

I did find this however....

"Certain hygroscopic substances, not only absorb moisture from the air, but also dissolve themselves in that moisture, undergoing a change of state. Such substances are called deliquescent substances. The process is called Deliquescence."

http://chem-guide.blogspot.com/2010/04/hygroscopic.html

I wonder if that applies to hygroscopic substances in a solution as well.
