|
|
| -
Is it a filter? |
|
No. It is not a filter and it should not be
used to replace a fuel filter.
|
|
|
| - Is
it a fuel additive? |
|
No. It is a permanent fuel treatment system.
|
|
|
| - What
kind of alteration will be needed if I decide to install it in my
car? |
|
Economax
is simply installed in the fuel line after fuel filter. There is
absolutely no need for any alteration in any vehicle or engine.
|
|
|
| - Does
it need any electricity or other source of power? |
|
It is a self-contained unit and does not
require any power or outside source of energy.
|
|
|
| - Will this device interfere with any electrical or
mechanical operation of my car? |
|
Economax only reacts with fuel passing
through the line and that's it! It has nothing to do with any function
of the engine.
|
|
|
| - How
do I know its working? |
|
The
most accurate and recommended method to check if the device is working
is the comparison of old average fuel consumption with the new average,
after the break-in period of the catalyst is completed. If you don't
have the pre-installation record of your vehicle's fuel consumption,
you can judge the effectiveness of Economax by improvement in pickup,
power, cleaner engine oil and spark plugs, and smoother engine sound.
If you were using Hi-octane, you can easily switch to lower grade of
fuel without compromise in performance and that is the most important
indication that the product is working.

|
|
| - Why
is it not pre-installed at factory by vehicle manufacturers? |
|
As
with CNG, no vehicle manufacturer installs such an efficient product in
their vehicles except for the vehicles that are meant for countries
with strict pollution control regulations. Actually no car maker
pre-installs any "after market product" no matter how good or effective
it may be. A common example is rims, tyres and stereo systems that are
most lavishly replaced with "after market counterparts".
|
|
|
| - Are
there any side effects? |
|
There are absolutely no side effects either
long-term or short-term.
|
|
|
| - If
I want it to be uninstalled, what method would be adopted? |
|
The
unit is secured on any safe place on the vehicle's body and both ends
of the unit are connected to the fuel line. To remove the unit simply
disconnect both ends from the fuel line. There are no changes at all.

How do I know I am saving? |
|
For
example a $39.00 Economax improves average mileage of a car with a tank
capacity of 45 liters, from 10kms to 12kms (20%). Total improvement
would be 90kms (2kmsx45liter) per full tank and 9 liters of petrol are
saved (90kms/10old avg.) hence total cost saved is $3.15 (9x$0.35). A
common misunderstanding is that people look at the change in mileage
that is only 2kms and tend to ignore the overall effect. Another saving
can result from switching to lower grade fuel due to the cost
difference of Hi-octane, Super and Regular petrol.
Besides fuel, other savings come from extended interval of service and
tuning. A petrol car would not need replacement of spark plugs, engine
oil, oil filter, for longer period and there will be no need for tuning
for a very long period.
|
|
|
| - Are
there any moving parts inside? |
|
No. The catalyst reacts with fuel on
contact and there is no movement inside the unit.
|
|
|
| - Is
there any possibility that Economax will not work? |
|
There
is no way that Economax might not work. If anyone thinks that the
product is not working, there are only two reasons for that comment:
either the user has no pre and post record of fuel consumption or the
condition in which a vehicle is used is changed.
|
|
|
| - Does
anything need replacement in this device? |
|
No. Economax works for 400,000Kms at its
full potential and it is simply replaced after its active life.
|
|
|
| - Is
there any warranty/guarantee? |
|
We provide 1500km money back guarantee and
one year manufacturing defect warranty.
|
|
|
| - Does
it work with diesel? |
|
Yes. It works as well on diesel as it works
with petrol engine.
|
|
|
| - What
are the long term benefits of Economax? |
|
Long-term
benefits include longer life of engine, continuos cleaning, extended
maintenance intervals, cleaner exhaust vents and pipes, lower
emissions, and lesser need for engine tuning.
|
|
|
| - What
is the payback period? |
|
Payback
period for any device is around 2-3 months, only from fuel savings.
Another way to workout payback is to calculate the return over active
life of the catalyst. For example a $39.00 Economax with a life of
400,000kms improves average mileage of a car from 10kms to 12kms.
According to old average the car would consume 40,000 liters
(400,000/10) of fuel costing app. $14,000 (40,000x$0.35) over a total
mileage of 400,000kms. After Economax, the car would consume 33,333
liters (400,000/12) at a cost of $11,666 (33,333x$0.35) saving $ 2,334.
The pay back would be 59 times the cost of catalyst (2,334/$39).
