Archoil ! Is it Any good ??

[Wonkydonkey]

As in the title, is the Archoil stuff any good, have you used it/tried it ?

i see there are two types, Ar9100 & 6200. have you used either or both.

Hopefully this don’t turn into an oil thread, as this is a fuel additive.

In the uk we can only get the expensive motomix/aspen, which can be problematic if you are/have been using ethanol fuel,
So does this product help with the ethanol associated problems ?

keen to hear your thoughs

Know nothing about either product......but they're sure proud of it! It'd need to work magic at those prices.

I did get a small sample of the 6200 fuel ad, I used it but can’t really say I noticed much.. apart from fuel in the tank not going bad as quick. So I guess fuel stabiliser works as it was easy to start..

And today I was looky around, I did see the 9100 is an oil add.. adds some zinc and stuff for better lube in your engine…

I think I will give it a try… because I see a few YouTube vids saying it’s good.. but how good is gooder.

where’s that oil guy kenny… ? When you need him..

I voted >it's a waste of money< cause I don't want anyone else using it to make their saws run as good as mine.

lol.

it is a waste of $ until you need pay out for a service
that’s the sails baseball pitch.. “hit or miss”

If you get my drift

im still not completely sold thou..

[jakethesnake]

What you plan on using it in wonky?

 

[jakethesnake]

I’m not much help as I haven’t used it Only fuel additive I’ve ever used is a diesel additive called diesel pro from Texas refinery co. It helped with dirty tanks. Actually finally got them clean to a point where they don’t jam filters daily Just curious what your application would be

Originally as afuel Stabiliser for chainsaws.
I did get one of these small samples to try.
I found it difficult to add just a drop to a gallon, I think it seemed to help the starting of the saw when the fuel was left in for some time. But I don’t normally leave fuel in a saw for extended time periods.


I now see they make other additives for other purposes, see there webpages for the other products.

Now I’m really wondering are these the new fuel additives for today’s fuels. As well as oils

cheers
Sean.

I have had good luck with the stabilizers in the two stroke oil itself. Seems to keep things flowing pretty well to the point I run 50:1 or 60:1 even in my four stroke small engines. Just seems like I have less carburetor issues since I started doing that. I think the oil and stabilizers together seem to help out big time. I use ethanol fuel E free is a pain for me to keep around

I used the 9100 in every oil change in my 2006 Ford 6.0 diesel. You know... the engine everyone loves to hate. I put 395,000kms (275000 mi.) in 9 years on the truck before I sold it and in all that time I replaced 1 injector. It also ran like a top that entire time. Keep in mind I live in Kanada and drove the truck year round regardless of outdoor temperature. The injector I had to replace actually cracked so I don't blame bad lubrication for it's demise. I never had the infamous sticky cold injectors regardless of how cold it was outside. Even though the Archoil added about $50 to the price of an oil change, I do believe it was well worth the price for my particular engine.

9100 100% does what it claims to. It’s the only additive to date that is fully proven to work stiction free in HEUI fuel systems.

 

[smokey7]

Thats how i found out about it. In all the heui trucks and busses

 

[Wonkydonkey]

I’ve ordered 100ml of the AR6200. = about $25 it says it should treat 1000Lts of fuel = about 265 us gallons

I’m going to give it some more testing. although the only problem I can see is adding such small amounts and being accurate with it.
