CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator
Fuel saving device or just another gimmick?

I received the Condensator kit for review and installed it into my 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. Included was a good length of hose, various other smaller bits of hose, some adaptors to connect...

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
Hi All:
___If there was ever a thread/review to rip because of the products silliness, this would be it. Although its durability is first rate, the Condensator does nothing and deserves a 0 rating across the board for all the right reasons. I can place a lead brick in the car and it would receive the same rating if you catch my drift
___Good Luck

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
Exactly. In our tests it did nothing. If you put that brick under your gas pedal, it would probably save more gas that this device did.
The key to these reviews is to look at the value rating. Thats pretty much the assessment of its worthiness to be bought.

Tom, where do you want the 'evaluation unit' sent to?

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
You can pass it on for more testing, but if no one wants it, I don't want it back.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
Hey, Guys.
This thing worked for me as designed - it did capture the sludge as promised. This is the primary function of the jar. Forget the MPG part - not much to it IF you have a decent car in decent working shape.
Now, if it cost $50, I'd keep it to do just what it supposed to do - capture the blow-by gunk. At $180 benefit of such investment looses its merit. Because you can get or build a good alternative for under $50. It will do the same job just as $180 one.
BTW: if noone wants that test Condensator unit, I would take it. For a *fair* price. Free is better.  Do not toss it. It is a good unit, it is just not worth $180.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
I purchases a Condensator back in Nov of 2006 and installed it on my '90 Mitz Eclipse with the 1.8L motor ( JDM replacement motor). I was getting, on the average, 27mpg before install.
Now, here we are in Dec of 2007 and have put 14000 miles on that motor, yet my mileage has increase about 2mpg per tankful, which is 13gals. In due actuality, my mileage never changed, even though the bottle is now half full of the black, stinky goo from the blowby that would have gone back into the intake plenum.
The only attribute that I could only figure out of my gradual increase, along with the Condensator, is that, in the summer of 07, switched over to AMSOIL 5w30 in the crankcase and it seems that the syn oils have more slick than the dino oils have.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
Many here swear by synthetic. I'm sure that and the fact you were trying to get better mileage (why else would you put in a condensator in the first place) so you were more aware of your driving, probably brought up your mileage.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
It, like the "burn water in your vehicle" ad that is seen in this forum, is just a gimmick for the gullible. Forget it. Instead, spend your money on regular maintenance and tune-ups. Drive sensibly - no jack-rabbit starts, no reving the engine, and no trying to be the one at the head of the pack during rush hour. Those are the ways to improve your gas mileage.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews The Condensator.
Hello to all.
I must reply to the threads above.Sounds to me like nobody UNDERSTANDS what the condensator is all about.Its ONLY purpose is to elimenate the OIL from the pcv from entering the combustion chamber.It was NOT intended for more mpg's or ANYTHING else.It just so happens that by far less emissions and POSSIBLE mpg gains are a benaficial side effect.I own since new a 94 5.7 chevy pick up.The sticker claimed 13 city 17 hwy.3 years ago it would not pass emissions.Instead of waisting $150 on parts towards a waiver I chose to buy a condensator.It was a gamble that paid off handsomely.Not only did my truck pass with flying colors my mpg's went from an average of 8 mpg's to 16.I have the Pa emissions reports for the last 13 years to prove the fall and sudden rise in performance.I have since fine tuned this little beauty to improve the overall performance and mpg's.One trick was pullin the o2 sensor out of the mainstream of exhaust with a drilled out sparkplug nonfouler.This worked well in conjunction with removing the fresh air intake for the pcv system from the air cleaner/TBI spacer/adaptor.To see the truck is to see its very well maintained overall and under the hood.I normally tuned it up every year so it would pass.The cat went at 125k miles and I replaced it just before I bought my condensator.With a full tuneup and a new cat it still failed.The cat was $250 alone.I havent tuned it up in 3 yrs and it still runs excellent.I still have to keep up on oil changes and air filters but tune ups are far less often.The engine internally is clean as well because the carbon deposits are decreasing as to increasing without a condensator.If theres anyone who wants to dispute this then bring it.This thing has allready spent alot of time in the court system and has been proven as a FACT that the condensator truely works.It is also a FACT that engine oil wasnt meant to burn.For those who have a condensator, dump the cup of gook or whatever you guys call it into a pan and try to lite it.Wont lite?Now dump the same amount of gas in that same pan of gook and Ill bet the farm it will lite right up.Theres your proof right there.For those so inclined to better your milage, instead of cryin about not knowing what your talkin about, try figuring a way around the ecm system so you can use a fuel supliment like hydrogen wich is a unlimited free fuel source.The narrow band width in the o2 sensors are whats keepin free source at bay.Until some genius finds a way around it were all stuck with what Detroit and Japan have to offer wich aint much seeins the U.S patent office holds over 900 patented carbs that get over 200mpg's.Go figure?
