I am not familiar with this product. I am sure that the Subaru manual warns against any additives. From a more practical standpoint, you should contact the manufacturer or distributor of this produce and ask about a guarantee that this product will not harm anything in your fuel system. Then decide if you trust them to honor such a warranty. I would worry more about damaging the fuel pump or rubber hoses in the fuel line. These could result in either getting stuck by the roadside or setting your vehicle on fire. Given that, what are they promising that would make using it worthwhile?
It will use more fuel if you remove the catalytic converter.
That depends on the engine and the fuel you've used. If the engine starts burning oil a catalytic converter can fail rapidly. Some fuel additives can also cause a catalytic converter to fail prematurely.
A catalytic converter can be ruined by a engine that is missing and dumping raw fuel into the converter.
you don't
The life of your catalytic converter depends on the condition of the engine and the fuel you're using. If the fuel has the wrong additives, the catalytic converter can become plugged up. If the engine burns oil the oil vapor will build up on the catalytic converter and it can become plugged. Otherwise, if the catalytic converter isn't plugged, don't replace it.
Yes, removing a catalytic converter can increase fuel consumption because it can lead to inefficient combustion of fuel, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine may not run as efficiently without the catalytic converter, causing it to burn more fuel.
Brown and Brown in Mesa Arizona is charging me $1300.00 to replace the catalytic converter and fuel filter.
Absolutely not. The fumes released from any engine can be deadly without a catalytic converter and severely harm the environment no matter how efficient the engine is and no car can legally not use a catalytic converter.
Needs tune-up? fuel filter? Air filter? Plugged catalytic converter? Needs tune-up? fuel filter? Air filter? Plugged catalytic converter?
Too rich of an air/fuel mixture of one of more cylinders missing and not completely burning the fuel.
No, that code is for the evaporative emissions control system in the fuel tank. It has nothing to do with the catalytic converter.
yes. all unleaded fuel vehicles have a catalytic converter.
