Camerax, if you can't stand the heat, don't start a flame war! I checked out the CA-40 stuff, certainly looks/sounds like a gimmick (calcium helps your gas mileage??) Why don't you try those little magnet thingies you clamp onto your fuel line, or one of those Tornado things! I bet they'll work equally well, even better than CA-40 (you wouldn't have to replace your fuel system after using them either!)

What made it so obvious that this product wasn't meant for today's cars? This site was created to help one another. Check your atitude,and leave your insecurities at the door.You're not helping anyone. Just making a fool of yourself.

We're not so sure yet it isn't a manufacturing problem with Toyota's tanks. Whatever was in there eroded the liner in the tank. They think too much ethanol has caused this. BP has some explaining to do. Stay tuned.

first time reading this that ive seen such a flame lol , figured i was on my ,
massive online multiplayer game board,
dont be so hard on others, after all the poster was trying to relate personal exp,
so that none of us readers would make the same mistake no matter how foolish you think it would be , ;P)
here's what the ca-40 site explained how it works ,and i could see how someone might be willing to try it ,
.
Calcium is the second best metallic lubricant on the planet, and is used in the best greases. It's also one of the major components of CA-40. The problem has been that no one has ever been able to keep calcium suspended in fuel. Until now.
CA-40 keeps calcium in suspension through a patented blending process. When CA-40 is added to gasoline or diesel, the calcium bonds to hydrocarbons within the fuel, causing it to burn more efficiently. What this means to consumers is increased fuel efficiency, increased lubricity, and a decrease in harmful emissions.
Combustion Enhancement
Unlike other additives, CA-40 is not a solvent. It is actually a combustion enhancer. Usually only about half of the hydrocarbons in fuel are burned in an internal combustion engine. Combustion enhancement is attained through further oxidation of the un-burnt hydrocarbons in the fuel.
There are three things that are needed in combustion: fuel, oxygen and ignition. CA-40 suspends within the hydrocarbons and further allows oxygen and fuel to be held together (fuel and oxygen). The third component of ignition is accomplished due to the thermo-electric and Piezo-electric properties of the calcium in CA-40. When combustion occurs in the engine, the heat and pressure causes the electrons in the calcium to accelerate. This acceleration provides the ignition (spark) in the proximity of the hydrocarbons resulting in further oxidation (burning) of the hydrocarbons. The end result is a longer, stronger push on the piston, causing an increase in horsepower (see Diesel Dyno test page).
CA-40 does not take fuel out of specifications
CA-40 does not change Octane or Cetane, but uses it more efficiently. Independent testing indicated that CA-40 did not take gasoline or diesel out of specifications. Although it is not yet registered with the EPA for onroad use.
Increased Lubricity
As stated above, calcium, a key ingredient in CA-40, is an outstanding lubricant. Tests in gasoline have indicated a 191% increase in lubricity, while ultra-low sulfur diesel tests have shown a 300% increase in lubricity when treated with CA-40 (see Diesel Fuel Lubricity and Gasoline Lubricity test pages).
Environmentally Safe
Catalytic converters burn some of the hydrocarbons not burned in the engine, cleaning vehicle emissions. The problem is, the un-burnt hydrocarbons mean the engine isn't getting as much power out of the fuel as it could, and there are still hydrocarbons that aren't burned. With CA-40, more hydrocarbons are burned in the engine, and the catalytic converter burns all of the remaining hydrocarbons. Vehicles tested using fuel treated with CA-40 had ZERO un-burnt hydrocarbons at the tailpipe. Engines burning fuel treated with CA-40 have tested with a 50% reduction in Nitrogen Oxides (See Emissions test information page). Also, all ingredients in CA-40 are environmentally friendly.
CA-40 is backed by a $2 million insurance policy

Thanks for the support. It seems mr. dcarrington01 is not here to learn & help but to bash others like most liberals do...all talk and no knowledge.
This stuff may actually work for many drivers especially in diesel applications. Unfortunately, I don't think it is ideally suited for gas engines. As it turns out, it is most likely a bad blend of E-10 gas that ate away at my tank and my insurance company will be filing a claim with BP not CMH industries.
