The Forgotten Maintenance Item

It is two guys around podcast. He's Kevin Byrd. I will be one of Kevin five today, man.

I always love when we have our boy on because everybody's gonna learn something. We're talking,

you know, it's funny because when you think about it, it truly is the forgotten maintenance

item, right? When you think about the fuel system, you think about everything that the

fuel system endures the environment. These, you know, these parts and pieces got to live

in. And what the fuel system is bringing, man, it's bringing everything. That's good.

You know, everything good. It's the vital component. And it's so oftentimes overlooked.

All that other stuff going on in the car is just to convert that fuel into power, right?

For motion. And, you know, it's easy to think I put the fuel in the tank. What else is there

to do? I fired up and I go and it kind of works, you know, for a while. You think about all the

times you've been left on the side of the road or you had, you know, issues with cars, how many

times has it been something related to the fuel system? You know, you'll find oftentimes that's

sort of the culprit of something, you know, going wrong. You left stranded, you know,

I remember back in the days, bro, I used to have in town, it's to run around Winchester,

Kentucky in the 71 Dodge Charger had a stroke 440. And I was a kid that had a total ramming

two forwards, bro. And I didn't have, I didn't have two 750s. I had two. They were like 395s

that I flowed. So pretty smart. And it was a pretty wicked little setup. But, you know,

I got to tell you, man, fuel and fuel delivery. I always, I always fought like vapor locking,

right? Some of the stupid things you fight as a kid when you're first exploring hot rods,

you know, vapor locking, what's wrong with this, you know, and then a couple of little issues.

That's how I went through, you know, electronic fuel pump, then you fight, you know, getting the

fuel, you know, delivered right. And, you know, obviously as fuel injection progresses, we went

through the years, supercharged stuff, boost, all that technology is added to it with fuel systems.

Man, they can make or break you. Oftentimes, you know, I see so many components that fail.

It's one of those things that is so overlooked and so forgot about because I think it's just

turnkey. You see the other stuff when you, when you watch your car, you, you look at it when you

open the hood and it's there, you know, you don't see the fuel system really. It's, it's in a tank

and it goes under the car somewhere and comes out and then magic happens. That's right. And you go.

All you see is that little hole you put the nozzle in to fill it. That's it. Yeah. You know, for the

most part. That's it. What's that? And, you know, anybody that lived to, you know, a whole carburetor

era, right? A lot more prevalent issues. Like you said, whether it's, you know, your little seat

stock or your jets clogged or whatever, right? Like you, you are way more aware of all the issues

of bad fuel, dirt in your fuel, you name it, right? Sludge buildups, you know, the, the waxy stuff.

And feel, remember the, remember the Holley's that had that little shatty, had the little O-rings

when you build it and they would constantly leak, you know, and, and, you know, how the,

all the diaphragms on the power bars would get all hard, you know, and plungers would get really

hard on the carburetor. Yeah, man, we kind of ached and painfully made our way through that,

but we learned, you know, a lot about what that fuel system do if you don't keep up with maintenance,

you know? And yeah, what you can't do, right? Like you have between repairing hardware and

cleaning stuff out, right? How many times have you rebuilt a carburetor? Like, why would you

need to rebuild a carburetor? It doesn't necessarily break. It just stuff gets clogged in there and

build up and junk in and you, and you, I think what's happened with fuel injection is such leap

and bound improvement. Absolutely. That it's really kind of hidden a lot of sins. And so

even if you're not broken down on the side of the road with your tunnel ram and your dual

three nineties, there's this slow evolution of build up and right. And you see it in your

cars for Christmas when you have these older cars that now, right? All the injectors are all

gummed up and goofed in, right? You, you can physically put it on your bench and you can see

the injectors like completely uneven and the spray patterns and all that stuff and everything

that fuel injection is supposed to do, give you these really precise find, miss, really good

atomization, great air fuel control, all that stuff just slowly goes away and, and you almost

acclimate to it and you don't even realize how much you're losing in performance and fuel economy,

your emissions, all that stuff because it's just hidden. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same man. It truly is

one of those things that, you know, we're going to get reminded of today because there's a lot

of things in there that we could do to improve it, to save it, to help it. More on that in just

a minute. It's the Two Guys Grounds podcast. He's Kevin Byrd. I'm Willie B. We're back after the break.

It is the Two Guys Grounds podcast. He's Kevin Byrd. I am Willie B. And we have our boy Kyle on

and I got to tell you, man, from the get, from the moment we met Kyle years and years ago,

he's just been a wealth and knowledge, great resource. And when it comes to, you know,

when it comes to lubricity, dude, I'm telling you, man, this cat knows everything. So many years

has been elbows deep in the diesel world, holding many, I mean, numerous world records. And it's

wild to see this, this great transition to what we now know to be, you know, all kinds of great

things over in the gas world, because man, it is overdue, much needed. And I got to tell you, man,

we're Kevin and we're talking about just how many problems derived from fuel system issues.

It's amazing how common these problems get, right? It's amazing how many of them there are.

Yeah. And like I said before, a lot of them just sneak up on you and you don't even realize it. Your

car just feels like it's so old. And a lot of the reason is the fuel system, right? If a good

cleaning and everything comes out, like fine mist and atomized and air fuel ratio, your car will

run probably a lot more like it was new again. But we just accept that it's worn out. It's not

worn out. A lot of times it's just dirty, right? Yeah. You find that to be true, Kyle, that it

happens so gradually that people just, they become unaware of the degradation and their performance

and the loss of, you know, just performance and how that car should feel and should drive.

100%. You guys, it's that slow buildup. So, you know, we just kind of get used to what we get used

to. And it's in the fuel system is one of those things that compounds over time. And we kind of

get used to what it feels like. And sometimes it's when your buddy jumps in your car to take it,

and he's like, man, this doesn't run like mine does. And he's like, really? You know, so it's

certainly the hidden maintenance item that, you know, people really need to be focusing on. And

I always like to look at it, you know, it's spring cleaning time. So it's time to clean out that fuel

system too, as you wash the car off and change the tires and do all the other maintenance.

Hey, and let me tell you, man, Kevin mentioned my Cars for Christmas program. There's been so many

cars. It was about four or five years ago, I decided to get a fuel injection like machine,

so I could clean fuel injectors and I could run certain tests on them. You can do ramp-ups,

you can do performance, heavy loads on them. And you're not going to believe over the

last several years, the increase of cars that have just faulty fuel injectors, where you got

bad atomization, where there's, you know, plunger issues, the screens are messed up,

the actual valve body, you know, is so gunked up. And you can see droplets instead of atomization,

you can see them down on efficiency. You run efficiency tests, one will be at, you know,

30, the other will be at five, you know, and it's crazy how many of these components fail,

because what is something going on in our gas that we're unaware of? Why are so many things

failing? Because it's built for that environment, no? Well, yes, but there's a lot of bad stuff in

the gasoline too, you know, so there's a lot going on and the end result, you'll see it on

your bench test there on the injectors. If it's coming out the injectors bad, imagine what the

rest of the fuel systems looking like. And the biggest problem we generally see are carbon

deposits, the carbon deposits that are left over, they tend to build up in the system over time.

And they make their way to the injectors, just like you had said, and Kevin, you kind of touched

on as well, that way these fuel systems are built now, especially right at the piston where the

injector level is, they want that pure atomization, they want a direct hit on that sweet spot of the

piston to get the ultimate, you know, full, you know, energy and power out of it. And when that

spray pattern starts to get, you know, angled at all, as you've seen on your bench testing,

you're losing a lot of economy, you lose a lot of power sluggish, tough idols, bad starts, all of

that. And I bet you, Kevin, something that's probably up your alley that you know quite a bit

when these systems now are so run by computers, right? So they're adjusting all the timing,

the air fuel on the fly. And imagine that computer seeing the system run a little off,

so it's deciding to change the air fuel mix, and it's trying to change it while the plungers

sitting there making the spray wrong. So it thinks it's trying to fix it, and it can even

overcorrect itself and try to balance out something when you're limiting that really

advanced modern fuel system from taking advantage of the technology it has by an old problem of

gunking it up with some carbon deposits. Well, that computer has ranges and it knows what a new

system operates under, right? The various pressures and, you know, duty cycles and etc. of the

injectors. And, and now you've changed it. Now it's a different, right? The characteristic of

each of those injectors is now changed. And the computer has no idea it can't read any of that

stuff, right? It only has a few sensors like what's going down stream and the O2, right? How

how long did I turn the injector on for? Really simple type stuff. So once you're out of the

normal operating parameters, the computer is just kind of guessing, right? And it's doing

correction factors on a gross level. That then compounds the issue too, because where the most

of the carbon deposits are coming from is the unspent fuel. So as soon as you start to have

a little bit of a gum up in a buildup, now you're not spraying properly, now you're having less fuel

burn, which leaves more carbon behind, which is a to vicious cycle that compounds the issue.

Hey, you know what are the parts when I take fuel injectors apart? They have this little kind of a

bucket screen in there. And when you pull this thing out, it's amazing to put, I got a ultrasonic

tray that that that you put this cleaner in and you clean injectors and a few other components

parts. And it's amazing to see how much just sediment comes off one of these these screens

from a single injector, like it will totally like corrode an entire like, like, you know, dish

about, you know, three inches by three inches, it will make it go from from a clean solution

to a completely cloudy dark rusty color with one screen, one. And it's amazing that, you know,

you go through every one of these injectors and they're all having that issue of problem. You

see it on efficiency test, performance test, numbers, how it seals up is something because

we'll put a load on it won't open it and you'll see some of them drip through because it it can't

seal up correct. You know, all these issues going on with modern injectors. It's one of the big

problems and things we fix on these cars that I get for cars of Christmas. Absolutely. Like a

surprising number. I'd say I'd say 30 28 30 32% of cars that we have come through the shop

have an injector issue on one of the injectors. I mean, they're older cars, but that's that's

fairly common and some some is to blame from the from the fuel too. Now, obviously, you guys know

where where came up on the diesel side that probably know our our diesel extreme and our

everyday diesel treatment. These is we know on the diesel side how poor diesel fuel is.

Fortunately, gasoline is more highly refined products. So we don't see all the problems

that we do on the diesel side. And you can generally feel more confident that what you're

getting out of the gasoline pump is a quality product. That said, we always recommend people

before you even get to these products where you need to clean out, let's focus on getting some

good fuel. So I always recommend people make sure you're getting a top tier fuel provider.

That's not your little corner store on the back road somewhere that turns their fuel over

once every three months. And they got some old fuel with a rusted tank. And a lot of that

sediment that you see in these injectors is actually coming from the bottom of the fuel

tanks at the fuel pump itself. So let's, you know, I like to recommend people go to high

turnover gas stations, so they're getting fresh fuel. We know that these fuel jobbers work in a

world of fractions of pennies. So they just don't put as much detergents as needed in there. They

don't put as much stabilizers in there, especially for fuel has been sitting around. So top tier

fuel stations that turn over fuel best is a start to keeping the system good. At least you're

getting the fresh. And what about not running your car so, so empty, you know, running your car

like when it gets down to quarter tank, if you drive your car a lot, you should put some fuel in it,

you know, or eighth of a tank, don't let it get down to that bottom gallon or two, because I feel

like that's a, you know, higher proprietary, you know, sort of mix of the rest of the sediment,

the, the crap that's coming from the, you know, the gas stations, that's going to cause more

problems if you're sucking from the bottom, you know, you're right. There's sediment in the tank

already. It's already there. When you've got 20 gallons in it is diluted over 20 gallons. When you

got one gallon in it, all that sediment's highly concentrated. So you're exactly right. Keeping,

keeping as full as possible is always a good, good way to protect the fuel system.

Now, Kyle, you mentioned carbon deposits. Do you see that on the PFI side or mostly on the direct

injection side? Because the direct injection, you know, tip is sitting in that combustion chamber

in the heat. Do you see it on normally on the PFI side too?

Yeah, on like port inject stuff in the intake valves, you'll see it. We certainly see it everywhere

from injectors, rings, upper cylinders. It's, it's pretty much everywhere. Now we're seeing more

injected now. And so there's, there's, you got to almost, you know, count on a better fuel,

tough to clean on that side, of course, but it is an ongoing problem. And the tire of these

systems are coming, they're coming under more pressure too, kind of like as we know on the diesel

side, you know, those systems can be 30,000 PSI. So the smallest issue gets compounded. And

with all the fuel economy standards that they're bringing in now, these are getting really advanced

on these fuel injections, but they also means it's more important. It's kind of like in the diesel

side, people know that they got to care for the fuel system. The gasoline world needs to take note

of what's going on in these new injected systems and know that it's a, it needs to be a point of

maintenance for the longevity of the vehicle. What do you think maintenance of a fuel system?

A lot of people kind of go, okay, I know if I'm, you know, doing maintenance on, you know, the

transmission, I'm going to drop the, drop the filter and, you know, maybe flush the fluid,

check a couple of things like that. And, you know, you think fuel system, okay, maybe I'll change the

fuel filter outside of changing the fuel filter. What in your book would you consider maintenance?

And then we're almost up against the brakes. So I don't want to dive too much into some of these

cool products you're going to have for us, you know, us gassers, but we'll get to that in a second,

Bart. But what is maintenance for a fuel system for you? Well, it first starts off with trying to get

the best fuel in the tank that we can, and everybody can control that, you know, so, so you

start there with, with good fuel. After that, let's make sure that we're doing two things. We

really want to make sure that the fuel system stays lubricated, and that you're cleaning it out on a

regular interval. There's a lot of products out there that do carbon cleanup. There's a lot of

lubricant products out there. I bet you if you've surveyed most people, it's just something they

don't think about. And until it becomes a problem, and like we started off with, it's a slow buildup.

So the best thing I tell people is put that into your maintenance plan from the very beginning.

And if you maintain that system and clean it regularly, you don't see these problems down

the road. And once they've developed into larger problems, they're much more hard to tackle. So

be preventative about it, be on the front end about it, put good fuel in, clean your system

regularly like you do the rest of your system. You know, we're going to go to break, but you

mentioned the word that most people probably haven't associated with the fuel system,

lubricity. And that's lubrication, basically. You think, man, that's just, you know, water. It

smells bad, you know, and it burns, but it's just kind of water. So what does lubricity have to do

with anything after the break? Because that's a really hidden kind of gym as a piece of knowledge.

Yeah, man. It's so funny. We just spin that word out like everybody knows it, but it's going to

be awesome. All right, more on that just a minute, two guys drive podcast. He's Kyle,

he's Kevin Byrd. I'm Willie B. We're back after the break.

It is two guys run podcast. He is Kevin Byrd. I am Willie B. We got our boy Kyle on

Hot Shots Secret. It's amazing when you think about all the crazy things these guys have

tacked over the years. Lubricity has been a word that is often times used every time we have

money. We talk about lubricity, but when we left, we were going to break that down for us a little

bit more than just the word. What's the magic behind it, man? The lubricity part of fuel is

very simple. What some people just overlook is the only thing that is lubricating that fuel system

is the fuel itself. You know, in the OEs kind of marched down that whole E85 route, you know,

whether it was flex fuel and even down in the E15, there was a whole lot of challenges. And

most people are familiar with, you know, the rubber hoses kind of breaking down and some

corrosion and things, but not everybody's fully understanding, you know, some of the other hidden

challenges in lubricity. E85 doesn't naturally have the same lubricity as gasoline, which you

think doesn't have much, which it doesn't, but it shows you that it's doing something

and you need it. So they had to upgrade things like valve seats, right? To harder valve seats,

harder, uh, harder valves. So that contact where the valve closes and starts banging,

will wear the seats out, wear the valves out. So lubricity is the key thing that,

that you need in any type of fuel. Uh, and you could always use more of it. And you guys do

a whole nother layer beyond the, just the cleaning process is just making sure all that stuff

lasts for 50, 100, 150,000 miles, 200,000 miles, right? That it's working, let alone

clean and functioning properly. And another great part of it about that,

lubricity is that the lubricity can also bring some efficiency and power as well

as an upper cylinder lubricant. We've talked a lot of before on the oil side on the lower end

and letting that ring and package, you know, ride that cylinder wall and we want to reduce

where as much as possible, but you get them enough for lubricating on the top side,

it becomes a top cylinder lubricant that also can produce power and efficiency as well.

Hey, Kyle, question for you. You guys mentioned lubricity a lot. It helped you a lot in the

diesel world for sure. And you've just several world records because of it. Uh, is this something

that everybody has and it's not oftentimes talked about it, or is it something that you guys have

found like a path to, um, performance in this, that not a lot of people are adding this

lubricity components and it's just something you guys have found that really works.

The lubricant world knows and we try to educate more people about it. Uh, we, we are very fortunate

our, our LX4, which is our lubricity extreme standalone product. This is just lubricity.

So you can add this to diesel, gasoline, E85, methanol, nitromethane, you name it. You can

put LX4 in there and bring the lubricity up a fuel. We have a very unique lubricity fuel,

lubricity out of that does not necessarily impact, uh, the, you know, countering the dryness of,

of the fuel. So it, it, on the diesel side, as we raise C-tane, it wants to drop lubricity,

you bring lubricity up, but it wants to drop the C-tane. We have a formula that allows you to

still play on the other side like we do on gasoline, but not drop the lubricity. So, uh,

we just have a unique formula that we have patented on that we use for that.

And second, knowing what these fuel injectors that I see and how much, how oftentimes there's a bad

one, um, what are you bringing over to the gas side to help with that? Lubricity is one thing,

but all this carbon buildup, all these, you know, components are failing because of this

buildup of all this junk and gunk. So how are you guys fighting that? Which seems to be the killer.

So, and I, and I like to be straight with you guys, right? So the, the, the secret on that side is,

here's your word for the day, polyetheramine, which is PEA. That is not dated her in college.

Yeah. So that's not a secret ingredient that we have. That's a, that's a known, uh, it's the best

carbon cleaner out there. It's the most advanced technology we have on the gasoline side to clean

out these carbon deposits. The main difference that we do is that we max out literally where the

EPA can stop us on how much of this PEA we put into the product. So there's a lot of gasoline

fuel side cleaners out there that, um, well, you know, you'll see it on the bottle, just like our

bottles, they say PEA right here. Um, but what amount of PA is in there? And the other difference is

you'll also see in our gasoline extreme bottles, they have LX4. So we're adding the lubricity

while we're doing this deep cleaning. There's a lot of those products that you could pour in the

fuel tank that do a good job of cleaning, but they're the type of products that you have to dump

right away. This smokes everything out and you're robbing that engine of lubricity during that

cleaning process. We want to clean safely. So we add extra lubricity while we're doing a very heavy

dose of PEA. Cause I think the standard, you know, you talked about in gas stations, right? The,

they're running on pennies for margins. So if they try to add more detergents and things like that,

it's just, there goes their profits. But from my understanding in the, in the general, uh,

you know, lubricant space where there's motor oils and additives and all that stuff, right?

Cleaners, right? They're, they're all trying to sell you a brand with the minimum amount of

content in there. And you guys typically are siding on the, nope, we're going to give you the best

and the, you know, the best mix of, right? Key ingredients that maybe other people have,

but we're giving it to you in different quantities that's going to give you better

results kind of deal. That's a hundred percent right. And, and it goes back to, you guys know us

like we, we love to solve problems. And so as we entered the gasoline market being known as a diesel

focused company, um, when we entered this gasoline cleaning market and looking forward,

like we talked about earlier, these new innovations in the new, uh, injected systems and everything,

we didn't want to leave anything on the table. So we maxed out the amount of PEA that you can

put in there while also using our exclusive LX4 to lubricate at the same time. And, and, and it's

really that and it's not only the concentration level, but we also, there's a time period too. So,

you know, like our 12 ounce bottle treats 20 gallons of, of, of gasoline. Somebody might get

slick and think, well, I'm going to put it on 10 gallons of gasoline to give it an extra punch,

extra heavy. No, no, no, we've got to formulate it right where we wanted the tip of the gain curve.

We want that, that balance of product in there, but we also want it to run through that fuel

system injector for 20 full gallons of fuel. And that's why we recommend using this product

to just once every 10,000 miles. Um, you'll see a lot of other, you know, products in this space

that are using a fraction of the, the PEA and telling you to use it more and more. You need

it every 3000 miles or, or so we're putting so much in that we know that we can clean that

system fully and get you down the road for another 10,000 miles before you need to do another deep

cleaning. Because I feel like you got to be really pissed off at the other fuel additive

companies because they're a dime a dozen selling snake oil. I mean, outside of people that don't

comply with the kiss cam, I think these people ought to be like, I don't know, drug out man,

because there's about a billion of these things on the shelf and all of them are garbage. It's,

it's not like, I hope you guys dominate this, this particular sector and just because I've seen

the domination you guys brought through the diesel world, um, I hope you bring the same

standard, which is severe, you know, up a level up from, from where it's at right now in the fuel

additive game. Uh, so what do you recommend? You said this stuff last 10,000 miles. Explain

how something last 10,000 miles a that you're dumping in your, in your fuel. Well, the clean out,

let's remember we're not, there's no magic here. We can't improve your fuel economy.

We are restoring your fuel economy. So I'll give you a little side story. When we first launched

this product, we did a thousand car study, uh, with a placebo, uh, our product and then another

leading manufacturers product. And it was a blind study. And on average, the people that used the

gasoline extreme had an increase in fuel mileage of 7.9%. Now let's dive into those numbers a

little bit. When we started cross referencing those numbers, it was a pretty linear line between

the age of the fuel system or the last time it had been clean. So if you have a brand new vehicle

and put this in there, I ain't gonna do much because it's not much to clean. Now,

if you have a very old vehicle, you buy a used vehicle, some of the cars you work with, some of

the older ones, they got a really dirty system. Well, you're going to see a lot more return of

performance and improvement on that inefficiency. So one unique thing we did find, we found some

outliers in that study where we had some newer vehicles that were showing very

pretty impressive mile per gallon gains on something that the system technically wouldn't

see a lot of, uh, cleaning, let's say in it. And that's where we talked about earlier on the LX4

side that we add the lubricity, uh, it becomes the upper cylinder lubricant, which I'll leak out a

little thing of the future here. Uh, that's kind of guiding us towards maybe, uh, kind of like our

everyday diesel treatment might be working on something like an everyday gas treatment that

helps bring that lubricity up in every tank and, uh, keep it, uh, keep it clean so you don't have

to wait till that deposits build back up and then do a deep cleaning. Yes. You're, you're naturally

getting some degradation over time. You guys are coming in periodically to step it back up

and then you'll get some more degradation over time. You'll come in and clean it,

step it back up again. So you're consistently riding, let's say the high side of your fuel

economy, your performance, and of course it's bringing that, that lubricity in there. So

you're going to be riding the top edge from emissions and you name it, right? Through the life

of your car versus, because even like you say, and even if you take one of Willie's cars for

Christmas cars that are kind of old and tired, you're only going to get so much out, right?

You're only going to be able to clean so much cause it's just, right? When you, you know, in

the old days, when you used to get a lot more sludge in engines, there was no way to clean

that stuff up. You pretty much had to tear the engine down, right? So it's like, if you could

have cleaned that engine oil sooner and stripped out that sludge as it was building, that engine

probably could have lasted forever, but here you go, right? You waited too long to get the

maximum kind of clean. It dealt with the wearer. So you had some damage along that way, but,

but fortunately we can clean it out now. You know, and we've talked a lot on the oil side,

our stitch and eliminator. I love to get that side in the bottom side of the oil, clean those

old engines out. You put gasoline and extreme on the top side of the engine, you get the

upper cylinders all clean and the fuel system clean and you can make these old cars run great.

You just hope it wasn't too late that there's some long-term damage, but we certainly

get them running good again. And that's what we love doing is restoring old, old efficiency.

And I love telling this story because this is real life. I watched stitch and eliminator work

one time. We were in the studio doing a car. I believe it was a Mustang because it sounds like

something Mustang would do. But when you, when you had, when you had the power steering all the

way over, it was on an older box, it was an older car because it had a power steering pull and it

would go, it would bounce back, it would hit, you know, like that. It was making all kinds of noise.

And I remember our boy getting a Dixie cup of it and just pouring a little in the power steering

pump and just said, okay, run it rack to rack side to side. And you did that and it was totally gone.

Like totally gone. You could run it all the way to the bumps and no barking, no jitter back in

the wheel and no nothing. And that was just like this much out of a Dixie cup. And I was like,

you know what, that stuff works. I don't care what he, what he's saying it does. That stuff works.

That stuff's great. So been a fan of it ever since, man.

We hear those stories all the time. We love it because, you know, we love solving problems. So

when we hear that feedback from customers, it's awesome. And that's why one unique thing about

us being a lubricant company, we're the only one that offers a money back guarantee on every one

of our products. No questions asked. If you're not happy, we give you your money back. And the

reason for that is because people are skeptical and we want people to try the product. And,

and if you're, if you don't believe what Willie just said, I challenge you to go throw a little

bit of sticks, eliminate your FR three and your power steering pump and see how much it moves.

If we're lying, we give you your money back. So it's, it's, it's encourages people to try.

And it's great. You guys are tackling the gasoline world, man. It's much needed and long overdue.

I know Kevin and I've been, we've dealt with some of those, you know, on the shelf, off the shelf,

you know, pick up a 711 a Walmart crappy fuel additive companies that I don't know how they

still survive, man. So your, uh, your knowledge and wisdom is needed in that world. And I'm glad

you guys are bringing it. Well, and we're glad to finally get this out. And as you know, we've

really grown in the retail space, uh, retail stuff. It takes years to get these products in.

And I'm really proud to say if anybody wants to try this product, the gasoline extreme

is available on our website. You can go to hotshotsecret.com and order it. If you're on

our website, we have a where to buy function and you can punch your zip code in and find a local

dealer. We have a great network of independent dealers that carry this product. And it's been

such a big seller that now we're getting a lot of retail, uh, interest in the product,

which again, there's a very crowded product on that shelf there in the retail store.

But we've, we finally are getting some, uh, interest in retail and gasoline extreme is now

available. Uh, his first retailer had auto zones in Florida. So, uh, this is then, and now once one

picks it, they usually start all coming. So I think you'll start to see this product on your,

your retail shelves nationwide, uh, in the next year. Yeah, that'll make things easy.
