Has anyone heard of this or used it before? Is it worth it? I'm new to listers and alternative fuels so any help is appreciated!

Maybe just a hint as to what additive you are looking at. ;)

Any product that won't tell you how it works probably isn't worth buying....

I did some reading on that product... Run a google search and review some of the forum threads out there. It has been pretty well knocked down by most people running vegitable oil. It is widely assumed to be pretty much ordinary solvent used to reduce the viscosity of the oil. I have not seen a definative post of the actual ingrediants, but like I said odds are it is mostly solvent you can buy at the hardware store paint section (or in drums) for a lot less than the secret recipe  ;)

I don't know the long or short term effects but there is a lot of info here. There is no mention I can find for SVO/WVO
