All 4 versions of NF are available freely to me, which is how I received the stock I have bought in to evaluate. (Not that that is relevant).

Samples of all 4 are on the way to ITS for testing. Remember what I said about a little knowledge! Don't just pursue RON (or MON ) points as they don't tell the full story.

I already have a preliminary estimation as to how NF are manufacturing their product. We will have clarifiaction on that within the net 2 weeks. (From ITS)


Remember CFR octane determinations are referenced using pure chemicals and do not fully represent the effects on all fuel constituents, otherwise LRP @ 97 Octane would perform the same as BS4040 4 Star leaded petrol (it doesn't).

Mike,

Please be aware that the Street Formula that you buy is a different mix to the one we do. Our Street Formula is a special blend solely for the UK market and available only direct.

So you will sell it less than us.....

Not sure NF will be too pleased...

We got our results, hence we don't sell any other Octane boosters.


You say in the same sentance, you have been advised not to use it, but then will sell it to your customers if it proves positive... So if (and it will) is positive, you will advise customers not to use it even tho you are selling the product....this seems very odd to me.

Peeeerlease, make up yer mind

NOT EDITED AS I AINT INTERESTED.

Mike, i was meaning we are UK Importers of NF, and you going via other means to get the product will upset NF.

You didn't deny ripping the product off tho

Huh, where did you get that from, I've tried it in my car and found no noticeable difference, I've now been advised NOT to use it!

The test results will reveal more, (why are your tests taking so long)? If it's any good, I will concientiously offer it at a competitive price to my customers, if it's not I will not.


Hehe, hands up who believes Craig.
If that's the case, I'll get someone who already has some in the boot of their car to send me some and we'll get that tested as well to see if you are correct.

I think this has served its purpose, I don't want this to degenerate into Novaboy type "my stuffs better than yours" type thread so lets just wait for the test results?


Mike.

Edited to try and un-confuse poor old Steve.
I said I'll await test results but preliminary lab tests (prior to going to ITS), indicate the need for caution. If they show that the stuff is OK, and people want it, I'll sell it.
P.S. I hope you're not trying to say that the retail price is dictated/controlled by the suppliers as that is Illegal!

Mike,

Our tests are taking so long, because originally it was to be conducted by our former partner, and nothing happened with that

Then we were going to have an independant test done, as you well know, not conducted by ourselves but a completely unbiased 3rd party, for the 3 main competitors. Remember? I thought it was agreed that that was best as there could then be no doubt as to the outcome, unlike if we were to undertake it ourselves. When the results were to be positive (and I have no doubt of that) on our part, we didn't want any murmerings that it wasn't a fair or independant test.

We obviously have a vested interest in the product and would still like to get PROPER independant testing done. I am confident that the results will favour NF no matter how it is done - but then I have confidence in our products and don't tend to just jump on "The Latest Fad" bandwagon, unlike others do it seems

If you know what I mean
