Lubrication scientist and Tufoil creator Mr. Franklin Reick has since been declared Inventor of the Year and inducted into the prestigious Inventors' Hall of Fame, alongside a Thomas Edison. The Guinness Book of Records chose Tufoil as the " World's Most Efficient Lubricant" over so many commercial additives and lubricants.The 1992 article sounds so familiar that a local newspaper columnist panned it deeply to reply to a message we delivered to the editor. A hundred years from now, it will be still quoted so long as sceptics and not spiders make their homes on the web. Where's the primary research data on the use of Tufoil? Do your own tests and report back the findings in a proper forum with distinquished tribologist and oil engineers!!Fair enough, the name Tufoil did not appear in the article. Mengz suggested that we ought to say some thing. If we keep silent, we will get tyre marks on our faces.Teflon or ptfe is only one of the ingredients in the material composition of Tufoil. There is moly, ester and others which can be gleaned to satiety from the MSDS on the net. So, they say is SAE 50 oil mixed with ptfe. Why not somebody buys 1 kg of ptfe dust and mixes this into a gallon of such oil and perhaps we will get our adrenalin-gorged Tom to dyno and run a review to see if this concoction works? Can the coefficient of friction be 0.029? Or can you get 12 international patents for this ?Anyway, for that matter, what's wrong with ptfe? Slick is now a company belonging to a major oil company. Dupont has already marketed their engine treatment since last year. If there is indeed no benefit to to be derived from friction-reducing additives, why would they want to waste their time and risk their reputation?Furthermore,there is also a mention of oil companies spending millions on research. So also is the case of Fluoramics Inc., the maker of Tufoil. Who else besides the Tufoil factory has 2 units of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) costing millions a piece just to examine bearing wear and tear which appear like "valleys" and "super-highways" on the screen.The answer - the factory that makes such equipment. And there is no escape for synthetics either.In fact, no one escapes.Fluoramics is privy to this and Mr. Reick has meticulously watched such grosteque "metallic scenary" for some 20 years!! Should you chance to watch it for a second, we bet you will be running into the shop to get yourself a bottle and kissed it!How negative can one get? How deep must one "dredge" to strengthen his case against the use of additives? We present the facts "dredged" not too deeply from zerotohundred.com which many of you Tufoil users are already accustomed to for it's really tiring to do so.Engines run cooler with Tufoil. Tufoil saved my life. Easy revvying. Superb pick-up. Saves fuel. Tappet noise gone. 370,000 km with no overhaul. And the list goes on and on.The question is, how on earth can all these happen? We are not asking for credit here. But surely a report has to be objective and also look at the good areas.A fruit will always be known for its sweetness. It's the case with Tufoil, it will be known for its effectiveness in overcoming deadly internal engine friction. Afterall, Tufoil has been around for close to 30 years and will still be around long after the sceptics are gone. </blockquote>
