have a question (dont flame me!)

ok so i got a fitch fuel catalyst as a gift the other day and need some help installing it.


Does anybody have a picture of where they mounted it? also could you point out the exact line that needs to be connected to the catalyst?



any help would be great! trying to avoid a $175 installation fee

there is only one fuel line connecting to the fuel rail on your truck. when looking under the hood it will be on the right side towards the rear.

no that is a vacuum line. it is more over the engine. should be near the #8 injector and COP. take a pic of the drivers side valve cover and i will circle it for you.

should be attatched to what i have circled

will im just about to a half tank, so far my computer says im averaging 13.5. so i picked up a mile per gallon


however, this hasnt really been much city driving this tank, mostly short 10 mile or so freeway trips


just a little bit up from half tank and so far ive gotten 151 miles off that, should get about 175 before i hit 1/2

Not much of a change then, if any. I do mostly highway driving , 80/20, and average around 18MPG, and that's with heavy 22" rims.

that thing sure has a boat load of reviews. But then agian 200$ for a 1-2 mpg gain...does it seem truly worth it? your looking at saving maybe 20$ per tank of gas, so after ten tanks, if it actually works it has paid for itself.

let us know im interested to see if this works. im also curious to know what is in that magic canister.
