Ethos Fuel Reformulator

Hey, has anyone else heard of this product call ETHOS. From what it sounds like, its pretty similar to Sea Foam but requires less work to get similar results. It is supposed to launch soon, this month sometime I think.

I had accidentally came across it, and visited a link with a bunch of news clips on the product and then went to the companies website. It seems pretty legit, but I sent them an email with some questions anyways. Pretty nutty though, it's suppose to cut down on emissions, increase gas mileage by 10% or more, and Lubricate all your internals back to stock. Just by pouring one ounce for every 10 gallons of gas and a another ounce in your oil.

Here is a link to the videos I saw: http://www.smallbusinessmedia.com/

Here is a link to their webpage: http://www.ethosfr.com/ (the videos' can also be found on this site, of course)

Just thought I'd put that out there, I'm bored at work.

Thanks! I didn't think that the ingredients would be so simple... Makes me want to brew my own seafoam.

BTW somebody did a little comparison of solvents that I ran across: http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/...=5;t=000065;p=

Unfortunately he didn't list the solvent efficiency of the stuff I have (B-12 Chemtool) but it has some of the good ingredients that he found and doesn't dissolve the nylon in the fuel filter.

Time to check the ingredients of Duralube!

i just ran this!!.... Holy crap!! what a difference. you instantly feel the results!... i poured 1/3 down the the gas tank.. 1/3 under the oil cap... and for the vaccum line.. i didnt have an extra person w/ me... so while the car was off i poured the sea foam in the hose when the car was off.. plugged the hose back up.... turned the car on it felt like it was gonna stall but it started up and a ISHH Load of grey smoke came out!!... i repeated this step another 2 times... gave it some high rpms for 2 minutes while in park... then i took it for a drive.. ( i also re-oiled my k&N filter before this.. so it helped the feeling alot!) all i can say is i was very impressed. i think im gonna run another bottle before this weekend. and no you dont need to leave this stuff in your car for 8 hours. 30-45 mins is enough

For the people that are unsure .... this is where you pour the seafoam down the vaccum hose.

Also i'm not trying to drive my car around alot until i get my progress springs fixed the dumb *** shop that did them put them on backwards like the purge cups with the holes don't line up and my car pulls harcore to the left. But thats another thread.
