What is the difference between a Fitch® Fuel Catalyst and a Catalytic Converter?
Fitch Fuel Catalyst Australia - Low Emissions More Power Bet...The Fitch® Fuel Catalyst pretreats the fuel before the combustion process and by increasing combustion efficiency reduces the creation of pollutants. Catalytic Converters are installed at the end of the combustion process where they remove pollutants after they have already been created.

Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between an OBD-I Catalytic Converter and an OBD-II Catalytic Converter?
Frequently asked questionsOBD stands for On Board Diagnostic. There are 2 versions. OBD-I and OBD-II. In 1970 Congress passed the Clean Air Act and established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This started a series of graduated emission standards and requirements for maintenance of vehicles for extended periods of time. To meet these standards, manufacturers turned to electronically controlled fuel feed and ignition systems.

Fitch Fuel Catalyst Australia - Low Emissions More Power Bet...An additive is usually a chemical introduced into solution with fuel. Additives must be replenished at each refueling. A catalyst affects the fuel but does not become part of it.
Related QuestionsWhat about the catalytic converter?
Zorst FlamethrowersThe biggest restriction to your flames is the catylitic converter(cat) that is installed on late model cars to burn off excess fuel before it leaves the exaust system, because the flamethrower system relies on unburnt fuel coming out the exaust to create flames the cat may reduce the size of flame you will get.
Related QuestionsFirecraft - designed for everyoneIndependent tests commissioned to establish the life expectancy of the catalytic converter have proved that even after 16,957 hours (approximately equivalent to 27 years and eight months of normal use)* the catalytic converter is as effective as when it is new.Related Questions
Nitrous Oxide FAQSCatalytic converters like many other exhaust components, act as a restriction to exhaust flow. Whilst the nitrous system is activated, the volume of exhaust flow through the exhaust system is increased. By restricting the exhaust flow from the engine, less power is produced from a given amount of nitrous. Some people believe that nitrous oxide damages the converter, but that is not the case.Related Questions
Do I eliminate my catalytic converter?
California BMW Triumph Motorcycles | Shop | Staintune Freque...STAINTUNE exhaust systems are not currently equipped with catalytic converters. They have produced prototype catalytic equipped mufflers and systems, but it is not currently a production item. The system components of a STAINTUNE exhaust may eliminate the catalytic converter on your bike, if so equipped. It is currently illegal in the U.S. to remove emissions equipment on any vehicle.
Related QuestionsQ - And my car has a catalytic converter, what now ?
JDS Porsche MAF Airflow Calibration & RepairA - An oxygen sensor which monitors the exhaust gases before the catalytic converter feeds a signal back to the LH computer, forming a closed loop system.- a "lambda control loop". This loop adjusts the amount of fuel injected, keeping the air/fuel ratio within the very narrow limits required in order to meet emissions standards. The cat can be contaminated by an incorrect fuel/air ratio, so this feedback loop is essential.

Related QuestionsCan I remove the catalytic converter on my Tipo?
Please note that in the UK from 1st January 1996 the MOT has included an emissions test for vehicles equipped with three way catalytic converters. Cars registered after 1st August 1992 (i.e. K prefixes onwards) are required by law to have catalytic converters fitted and will fail the test without them. Cars registered before 1st August 1992 (i.e. J prefixes and earlier) do not require catalytic converters to pass the test.
Related QuestionsWill my catalytic converter be effected by Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous Kit FAQNo. Since the use of nitrous is normally limited to 10-20 seconds of continuous use, there usually are no damaging effects. Temperatures are typically well within acceptable standards.
Related QuestionsCan I buy the Cavalier header without the catalytic converter?
Bill's Isuzuperformance; Frequently Asked QuestionsThe Chevrolet Cavalier Z24/Pontiac Sunfire GT header is sold only as a complete unit, including the catalytic converter. Because GM manufactured the original parts with the catalytic converter welded to the down pipe, it is a violation of US Federal law to sell a header and down pipe assembly without a catalytic converter as part of the assembly. It is illegal to sell this product without the catalytic converter and we will not break the law by doing so.
Related QuestionsCan I use a universal catalytic converter in place of a direct fit converter?
Full Line Exhaust - FAQYes, with certain stipulations. We suggest in those cases, especially where the car requires an OBDII catalytic converter that you contact an experienced installer. Placement of the universal catalytic converter can be very critical.
Related QuestionsWhat does the catalyst do in the Country Flame catalytic wood burning stove?
FAQ About Country Flame Wood Burning Stoves & InsertsThe catalyst completes combustion or the burning of the smoke from a wood fueled fire. Ordinarily the temperature required to complete combustion is too high to accomplish in a wood stove. However, the catalytic combustor is coated with chemicals that cause the smoke to ignite at a lower temperature, causing the Country Flame stove to burn more efficiently and produce more heat from each log.
Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between 15% and 30% fuel?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe percentage represents the amount of nitromethane in the jug of fuel. In the U.S. 15% is the common amount to use. Other countries typically run 0 to 5%. The 30% gives more power, but until you start 3D you won't need that. In fact a heli that is properly setup and engine tuned will do 3D just fine on 15%. Also one with 0 to 5% will do fine if you run a tuned pipe and the carb is setup to have a fine degree of adjustment.
Related QuestionsIs that really a catalytic converter in the middle of the car, or is it just a resonator?
It is described in technical manuals and parts listing as a catalytic converter. Removing it may violate federal regulations regarding emissions equipment.
Related QuestionsQ : Will the use of nitrous oxide affect the catalytic converter?
NOS Systems FAQ - Nitrous SupplyNo. The increase in oxygen present in the exhaust may actually increase the efficiency of the converter. Since the use of nitrous is normally limited to 10-20 seconds of continuous use, there usually are no appreciable effects. Temperatures are typically well within acceptable standards. Not really. In most cases the percentage of increase is greater from a stock engine because it is not as efficient as the modified engine in a normal non-nitrous mode.
Related QuestionsHow does KSTC differ from a catalytic converter since it is also an anti pollution device?
Khaos Super Turbo Charger For Your Gasoline EngineA Catalytic Converter is a post combustion device that filters and deposits the pollutants in its chamber. KSTC is a pre-combustion device that ensures that unburned fuel (pollutants) will be completely burned every time through a ratio of 15 parts of air and 1 part gas mixture.

Frequently asked questionsCheck your emission test results. As a general rule if you failed on the Carbon Monoxide (CO) this is usually an indication of a bad Oxygen Sensor. If you failed on the Hydrocarbons (HC) this is usually an indication of a bad Catalytic Converter. If you failed on the Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) this is usually an indication of a bad Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve.

Frequently asked questionsYes, this is an indication that the inside substrate is starting to break apart. An overheated Catalytic Converter was likely the cause of the failure. This problem should be taken care of right away. If the substrate breaks down further it could plug the exhaust and could leave you stranded on the side of the road.. This has been a tricky problem for most mechanics and exhaust shops, When diagnosing the problem with a scan tool.
