Camguard powerpoint
Happened to come across this on the web this morning. Some good photos and tips with along with a heavy dose of Camguard marketing, but I do use the product.

I think we can all agree that "Vlad" doesn't need camguard
It seems camguard is for those who don't fly 500+ hours a year!!!
Although, maybe he needs one of those donut type seat cushions
Thanks for the post though, I was thinking about camguard too.

Half the problem
Ron,
A dryer cures only half the problem,
the other half is acid.
1 Gallon of water produced in the combustion cycle of burning 1 Gallon of gas???
Someone please explain that to me.

Camguard Snakeoil?
Isn't anybody bothered by this statement?
Page 10 on the powerpoint presentation mentioned above.
1 Gallon water produced by 1 Gallon of fuel burned ???
I am just asking for clarification.

Ernst, I have heard that before, but the thing that is not usually made clear is that it is water vapor, not liquid water. And, is it refering to a gallon of vapor, or how much vapor would be generated if a gallon of water totally evaporated.
Still, I do not know if the statement is correct or not.
Burining a hydro carbon adds oxygen and other gasses, and produces various mixtures of stuff, HoH being one of them.
We need a good chemist to jump in on this one

Combustion of gasoline produces water vapor that can mix with your oil and make your engine susceptible to rust. Whether 1 gal of fuel equates to 1 gal of water produced really doesn't matter much, but I have no reason to doubt that. Don't see how it equates to a snake oil claim regardless.

Camguard works by enhancing the film qualities of the oil which prevents components of blowby from causing varnish and rust. The gentleman who formulated Camguard originally used the same formulation for Exxon Elite since he formulated that oil as well. So basically it is an supplemental version of Exxon Elite.
