Precision Cycle East - 2003 Ski-Doo. "A customer recently sold his 2003 Ski-Doo and wanted me to preseason it before delivering to his perspective client. This sled had been sitting in his garage with gas in the tank and hadn't been started or touched for six years......
I removed the carbs to clean them only to find out that they were in brand new condition, not a hint of crud. The gas in the tank smelled like it was fresh out of the pump, and the fuel lines had no sign of degradation, even in the tank....." New in our Motorcycles and Powersports Testimonial section.

A great article and explanation from Snow Tech Magazine about the Fitch Fuel Catalyst and their experiences through out the years. . "QUOTE: We continue to have good luck avoiding most of these issues with the use of Fitch Fuel Catalysts in everything from lawn mowers to snow blowers, and now have one in every gas can. These small cages with some sort of metal inside act like a mini-refinery, helping to keep the gas fresher, longer.

Fitch Canada on the Road: Fitch Canada was proud to have attended the 7th Annual Dutchy Mason Blues Festival this month. With our display in the Motorcycle show area, our product was well received by thousands of visitors who attended the show. Interest was shown in many areas, including our heating applications, by some as far away as Ontario! With winter on the horizon it will soon be time to start thinking about heating costs coming. Save your hard earned cash, and lower your emissions, by installing a Fitch Fuel catalyst on your heating system.

FFC and Ethanol Blended Fuels: Once again we have had quite a few inquiries about the use of the FFC in fuels with ethanol added, and the answer is yes the Fitch does perform in fuels with ethanol added. The Fitch also helps to reduce the ability of ethanol to absorb water, which it does and it is not good for your engine.In the report from Intertek Caleb Brett Labratories, after testing the FFC, they stated "The fuel exposed to the Fitch Fuel Catalyst is preferable from the perspective of the
consumer and would be our recommendation compared to the untreated fuel." You can view the full report Here
It was brought to our attention that there was a question as to the life of the FFC product. Some somewhere had commented about it working fine for a year and then seemingly the mileage dropped off? This is a very unusual occurance and required some investigation into what may be happening with the product or vehicle. What we found out was pretty interesting. What many consumers do not know is that the 10% ethanol blend is actually causing a loss of fuel mileage, and in a pretty large numbers.
ETHANOL PROBLEMS FACING CONSUMERS
The Effects of Ethanol Gasoline Blends in Cars, Boats, and Small Engines
The blending of ethanol into gasoline across the nation is now a common practice due to recent EPA mandates for increasing ethanol content in gasoline from 10% to 15%. These mandates are aimed at improving air quality and reducing air pollution from fuel emissions, which ethanol blends achieve through the lowering of harmful emissions. But ethanol causes major issues for consumers, who face loss of mileage, storage issues and a tendency for ethanol to corrode plastic and fiberglass tanks and parts, especially in marine applications. Some problems are as follows:
Water accumulation in gas tank - ethanol absorbs water from the air
Deposit build up
Loss of power
Rough running
Lower fuel mileage
Corrode internal engine components
Contaminents in fuel system
Fuel phase separation - cannot be restored
Encourages microbial growth in fuel
Short shelf life -as short as 90 days
I would like to also provide a link to some interesting information that many may not know about.
There is information in many forums where people are realizing this problem. Here is a link to
a very informative website on the subject. You can view over 200 comments from across the US about peoples experiences with ethanol fuel. Click Here

Fitch Canada on the Road: Fitch Canada was proud to have attended the Annual Nova Scotia School Maintenance Advisory Conference. This was a great event to attend and we were happy to have been part of it. We are looking forward to working with the various school boards this year to help them lower their fuel costs and emission.

 APSI to begin promoting the FFC in to the gigantic world-wide Marine market with a new advertizing program Due to the overwhelming positive feedback received from the
West Coast commercial fishing fleet, APSI has determined that fishermen and other vessel operators world-wide will
benefit both environmentally and financially from the use of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst.
As part of our effort, to better educate the workboat market, APSI recently sponsored a booth at
the Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle, WA, where we met a number of fisherman interested in the
Fitch Fuel Catalyst. APSI plans to further penetrate the Workboat market by implementing an
advertising program in various trade publications such as National Fisherman and Workboat
magazines.
 Do you know what your real cost of fuel is in Canada per gallon? You might be surprized to find out that we are actually paying well over $5.00 per gallon. Do your own calculations and see what the Fitch Fuel Catalyst can save you. We also have a handy conversion method to figure out miles per gallon and savings.
