[DML] Re: Exhaust (was Engine Conversions...)

["Kevin Rawlings" <blast59@xxxx>]

Hi everyone!

I just read an article in a news paper about something like this. 
Supposedly, all the catalytic converter does is use a tiny bit of platinum 
to combine with and burn the waste fuel as it's in the exaust. (The 
platinum combines with just about any waste material in the exaust to make 
it burn better) A new invention just injects a little bit of platinum into 
the cylinder to make the impurities in the gas combustible. This not only 
lowers the amount of unused fuel (from 22% to 10% or lower) but in doing so 
decreases emmisions, gives you better fuel economy (tests reported a 50% 
increase), and since the waste was being burned off there were no carbon 
deposits left in the cylinder which will make the engine last much longer. 
Could this be the answer to the problem, or is it too good to be true?
