I own a 2001 Toyota Tacoma with 48,000 miles on it. I used MPG-CAPS as prescribed for 1,100 miles, aprox. 4 tanks of gas. On June 6, 2007, I tried to start my truck to pull it out of the garage and it would not run!
Compression and leak down tests revealed the engine had 0 psi compression.

Disassembly of the engine revealed all intake and exhaust valves had carbon between the valves and seats.

MPG-CAPS claim to do 3 things; increase fuel mileage, reduce emissions, and reduce internal carbon. That is exactly what happened. There was a suuden dislodging of carbon inside all of the combustion chambers at once. The carbon was trapped between the valves and valve seats, which caused the the engine to lose compression. Without compression the engine cannot run.

The only remedy, is to completely disassemble the engine and clean the carbon out of the valves and pistons, and then reassemble, just like an engine rebuild without all the new parts.

I have good digital photos of head and cylinders.The combustion chambers have a copperish colored film, just like the photos in the MPG-CAPS sales brochures. This copperish colred film is not a normal condition. I e-mailed the photos to FFi's compliance department. I have had a 3 way phone conversation with Jerry Lang, their combustion expert.

In that conversation, he recommended that FFi settle and move on. Instead FFi had me ship my cylinder head to a lab in Texas for analysis. Spectrograph test and the lab tech confirm something unusual happened in the combustion process and the only thing different was the MPG-CAPS.

I have been without my truck for 2 1/2 months now, it has been 1 month since the lab results came back and now I'm being ignored by FFi. Their own trusted expert recommended settlement and they refuse.

Blame it on a Lawyer

Dear 2001 Tacoma, Isn't it interesting that an EXPERT recommended that they settle with you. He told the TRUTH! But, the company that makes these caps has hired a LAWYER to advise them. Guess what the LAWYER said to the company that makes the caps- If you settle with this customer, you are admitting guilt. If you admit guilt with him, be prepared to admit the same with potentially THOUSANDS more!

At this point, the company began to listen to their LAWYER who will do all he or she can for their client. So, you MUST EXPOSE the problem in a way no one on this earth could imagine! Go nuts, and start writing LETTERS to EVERY NEWS STATION and EVERY TALK SHOW in the USA!!! And don't stop! Keep sending them. Place an ad in your Local Newspaper and direct EVERYONE in your town to this website so they can read your story!!

Humiliate anyone who tries to stop you! Continue harnessing the TRUTH. It's the most powerful force in the Universe. It could take down Fortune 500 Companies if harnessed in the appropriate way.

A Harvard Business Professor said that EXPOSURE is a corporation's WORST FEAR! He also said, (quote) 'There are corporations listed on the stock exchange whose sole purpose is to line the pockets of the top executives with MILLIONS of dollars in cash.'

How do we find them? He said, (quote) 'Look at annual sales. If sales are going down, so should the stock.' He said, (quote) 'Take a look at SHARES OF STOCK that the Top Executives PURCHASED WITH THEIR OWN MONEY. If they believe in their company, they WILL be investing in it.' He said, (quote) 'Take a look at shares of stock GIVEN TO THEM in compensation plans and bonuses. Do they keep it or sell it quickly.' He said, (quote) 'Take a look at PROPERTY that these Executives own in FLORIDA! It's the only state in the union that will allow Executives to keep the property so it cannot be SEIZED by the Government to compensate SHAREHOLDERS after these Executives are found guilty of FRAUD.'

He also said, (quote) 'The highest concentration of wealthy individuals in the world reside in West Palm Beach, Florida, between the months of November and March.' And he also said this, (quote) 'The prices (values) that you see posted for a share of stock for a publicly held company are all a lie. It's an illusion.' He said that your chances of making money in the stock market are no better than they are at a Casino in Las Vegas!!

And isn't it interesting that Joe Nacchio was telling his own employees to BUY STOCK and continue investing in Qwest, and at the same time, HE was CASHING IN 100 MILLION DOLLARS OF HIS OWN STOCK!!! I wonder how his former employees feel now that the Majority of their Retirements is GONE?? Guess what? Joe Nacchio is going to JAIL! Bernie Ebbers (former CEO of Worldcom) is in Jail! And the list goes on and on and on....

Get ALL of your money out of the stock market now! The Collapse HAS been triggered!!!!

I suppose there are some real lessons here.......

When I was young I used to "improve" my cars. I even reworked the engine and suspension of a Mazda RX4 wagon, but at least I followed the suggestions of a successful rotary engine racing team in CA. But my father's words still ring true: When you buy a car, run it the way the manufacturer built it and you will have a lot less trouble. If you don't like how the car runs, don't buy it.

Adding miracle products to your gas tank is one good way to get into a lot of trouble. And these miracle gas-saving products always seem to proliferate when gas prices are high. Most miracle gas-saving products have also been found worthless.

Could Fuel Freedom International MPG-CAPS actually one save money? OP never told us how much money he saved with reduced gasoline consumption, but it would appear that he will have to pay dearly for his own engine rebuild because Fuel Freedom International just doesn't seem to give a crap about what their product does to the customer's car, nor why. This would seem to be a warning to others.

I would be careful that if the pistons are removed they are also reinstalled exactly as they were removed or else a new wear-in will occur which may compromise performance. OP should discuss whether a cylinder hone plus new rings are advisable with his mechanic. The extra cost is trivial.

I expect Karl to come along and tell us how Toyota is the only company to blame here, and that Toyota has actually victimized OP and Fuel Freedom International. This would be entertaining.

Send All Info To 9News and Others!

Dear 2001 Tacoma, You must send your info to 9News ASAP! You can get their address from other Posts under yours. Make sure to get your info to ALL the others too! Dateline NBC, Fox 31 News, 60 Minutes, etc..

Also 'Google' the two words- ENGINE SLUDGE and read the complaints. I believe there was one similar to yours. You MUST TAKE ACTION for yourself. No one else will do it for you! And don't stop!!

This proves that Toyota is not the Great Product that we have been lead to believe. Toyota simply has a Great Advertising Agency that is able to manipulate people into believing that their product is great! A gas cap shouldn't hurt an engine in that way unless there were OTHER PROBLEMS, like a SLUDGE PROBLEM!

Remember, EXPOSURE to the problem is the best thing for your situation right now! You have EVIDENCE, use it!! The News Stations LOVE HARD EVIDENCE!!! Trust me!

Go to 9news and type in ORNELAS and search the story from 2005 that made the Front Page of the Denver Post on 5-19-2005 and watch the Video that aired on 5-18-2005 at 10 o'clock on the #1 MOST WATCHED NEWS STATION IN COLORADO! ( 9News!)

The 'hook' has been securely set against Toyota. As consumers, we must keep reeling in this BIG FISH and bring it aboard. Soon, a big fish fry for all!( and we won't fry it in ENGINE SLUDGE!) Write a letter, you'll feel better!'
