First Post First Anniversary
Hello, does anyone know anything about b-eco fuel tabs? I am aware they are a bit of a pyramid scheme with regards to selling, and don't want to get in to that, buy wondered if anyone knows if they actually work, and more importantly if they damage your car?

    If they work, wouldn't they be sold at local petrol stations anyway?

    Possibly not. Why would they sell a product which would reduce their petrol sales?

    Obvious fantasy nonsense.

    Sorry slightly late on posting as I am new and I would like to say that these little tablets do actually work. It does work as I used them my self and my MPG from 28 went up to 33.8 and car feels much better. do reply if you want to see proof :smile:
    I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to see proof.
    No doubt the makers themselves would be interested, as they were unable to provide any "competent and reliable scientific evidence" when challenged by the US Federal Trade Commission

    £30/pack of five tablets. One tab. apparently treats 10 -15 gallons (U.S. or Imperial?)of "gas"
    About £6/tankful give or take. So is Hassamx's 5.8m.p.g. more worth £6?
    Yes, Hassamx, please post some independently researched  proof.
    I'd rather anticipate better, drive a bit slower and lighten my right foot.
    That, I suspect will be more reliable.

    "and more importantly if they damage your car?"

    Please let everyone know if they do.
    I'll pass on them. I'd rather spend £30 on 16ish litres of motion lotion.

    If he gets 338 miles on 10 gallons, when previously he would have used 12, then as petrol is getting on for £10 a gallon, that is a £14 saving after buying the magic pill!!!

    Where is the queue to buy them?  :):)

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Let us guess that you sell them?   Why would they settle an $800k judgement if they really worked?

    Nah new ones popup all the time. Mostly they fade away with little attention but when you can pay a small amount
    of money to get millions of likes on social media and people that will like and share anything its easy to get fake
    products into peoples views.

    Some of the big companies were sued for making similar claims and some stopped selling them of rebranded them
    to less claims.

    Oil additive claimed to repair worn engines,  magazines tested it and several had oil pumps seize.  The product vanished
    quickly. About 10 years later some guy started selling it on ebay claiming it was brand new to the UK and a miracle
    product.  Don't think he liked the articles from the magazines that proved him wrong.
