I tried it on a previous car, it didn't cause any problems for me. More importantly it didn't seem to make any difference either. No more power, no improvement in smoothnes and fuel consumption identical to the nearest 0.1 mpg.

I second the comment above, don't bother. I have also heard that Du Pont, the makers of PTFE, tried to withhold supplies to engine treatment producers because they consider it to be "snake oil". Apparently, they were forced to recommence supplies under restraint of trade rules.

See the "snake oil" site (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2195/snakeoil.html). I wouldn't risk it!
Not to mention the Molybdenum Disulfide / Trisulfide issue (di- is a lubricant, tri- is abrasive. Di- can turn into tri- in reaction with some petrochemicals).
