Q: Where Did Broquet Come From?
Q: Apart From Cars and Vans, What Other Applications Does Broquet Have?
Broquet is a fuel catalyst, manufactured in pellet form with each pellet being a combination of metals boned together in a unique process. This catalyst is only effective when in close proximity with mild steel and therefore pellets are either enclosed in a simple mesh for insertion into the fuel tank, or contained in a steel cartridge for fitting directly into the fuel line.
A catalyst is something that changes the rate of a chemical reaction but itself remains chemically unchanged.
It is known that the catalyst, when in direct contact with hydrocarbon-based fuel in a liquefied state, improves the combustion efficiency of that fuel. The exact mechanism/s for this are not yet fully known. This however, is not unusual in the field of catalysis.
Theoretically, a catalyst will last indefinitely, however the contaminates that are ever-present in fuel will eventually adhere to the surface of the Broquet pellets. This process is very slow however, and a minimum life expectancy for each pellet of 250,000miles/400,000kms (or 6,500 operating hours for marine/plant) is guaranteed.
Due to the improvement in combustion efficiency, the benefits will be a gain in road-wheel power or better fuel economy (depending on how the vehicle is driven), reduced exhaust emissions, cleaner combustion zone components (spark plugs/ injectors, piston rings and piston crowns) and the ability to allow a leaded petrol engine to run on unleaded petrol.
Q: How quickly does it take effect?
Broquet will start to work immediately, and the driver/operator will first begin to notice that the engine seems to "feel" smoother and much more responsive. However, the improvement is progressive and depending on the initial condition of the engine, and how it is driven, it may take up to 5,000 miles for the full benefits to be realised.
Q: Can I transfer it between vehicles?
In-line units can be simply transferred between vehicles (providing they are of equal engine size). However the in-tank units should be considered a one vehicle - one treatment system. Once it is in the fuel tank it is not designed to be removed and therefore this can be difficult.
Q: Why don't Oil Companies add it to their fuel?
The oil industry is in business to sell fuel. At Broquet we offer our customers savings in their fuel usage. There is therefore no commercial advantage for the oil and fuel industry to support Broquet.
Q: Where did Broquet come from?
The fuel catalyst is named after the person credited with its development. Henry Broquet was an RAF Engineer who in 1941 was posted to Russia together with other RAF personnel with the first consignment of Hurricane aircraft. A problem arose with the compatibility of the aircraft engines with the Russian fuel which led Henry Broquet to develop the fuel catalyst.
