most of the stuff you see advertised is just snake oil not worth the effort or cost.

That's what I kinda thought at first too. A friend is trying to sell this stuff and convince others to become dealers too. Marketing very much like Amway products. I would just like to dig up a little dirt on the product so I can justify to him why I don't want to sell.

You got me. The text in the original post came right off their website. Maybe they pack some imported combustion with every order

Wow, great find! Maybe there is some advantage to this product after all! These things are tablets you drop in your tank, one per tankful. They are some kind of oil. I'm still not sure about "imports combustion" though.
