    Snow Performance Boost Jiuice

    I am after peoples opinion. I purchased the below on Catch Of The Day. From the advert I thought I was purchasing 4 bottles. I have purchased this stuff from various vendors
    over the past 7 years and it always comes boxed up as pack of 4. When it arrived I received 1 x bottle wrapped in a box. The vendor states that I only purchased 1 bottle. I think
    I should have received 4 as per advertisement. Am I wrong?

    It pictures 4 bottles in the advert & lists item as "4 X 1 gallon 3.78L"

    It is 4 bottles as I read it,
    otherwise I cannot understand what the number 4 in the listing means when they say "4X....." ?


    Personally would not waste my money on that,
    everyone else I know just buys normal methylated spirits and demineralised water from Bunnings
    & mixes it 50/50 themself.

    I know a few guys that have been doing it that way for a few years.

    Please don't just take my word for it, Google it for yourself & you will find articles to help you make your own choice mate.

    Yeah, as whitels1ss said, I can't see how that's not 4 bottles rather than 1...

    Re: Snow Performance Boost Jiuice

    Wrong?
    where? how? in what language?

    'Fluid 4 x 1 Gallon' ... is as plain a description of a fluid for sale as you can get

    it is NOT 4 litres, it is NOT 1 Gallon, not ONE Gallon
    it is FOUR TIMES a 1 gallon container measure or FOUR of a one gallon container

    that picture is not subject to argument as to what you are buying...

    hit up Paypal or Catch of the Day for the MISSING THREE 1 Gallon containers not sent



    there sure are some carns out there

    Done Smitty. The bloke was also super quick to amend the advert to say 1 x bottle, luckily I snapped a photo of the original advert as soon as I got the 1 x bottle, I have attached this to my paypal dispute. He now refuses to answer me even though I have been super polite so far. It is not about the money, more about the principal, things like this give me the massive shits, how many people is he doing this to and on what other products.

    yes mate... spot on there !
    and
    how many others ? I prefer Paypal these days with online purchases because they do actually (at least in my experience) protect the buyer in these sorts of disputes

    Ended up getting a full refund and told to keep the product. Seller has now said it was a technical glitch that caused the listing to say 4 x bottles.

    Will probably go to Scotcher race fuels once my current stuff gets low, they have methanol from the pump. Whilst I cannot see any harm in using Metho, it is more ethanol than Methanol. I have even read of people using washer fluid as a substitute or even just plain water if just for intake cooling.

    Good stuff!

    The technical glitch would be the seller when they listed the advert.

    One of my mates was told to use metho by his tuner when his tuner supplied, fitted & tuned the system.

    I personally think that his tuner is one of the best in the country.

    As I said plenty are using it.

    I think I might give it a try Ed, mine is only there for cooling so cannot see it being an issue. I also have 8 litres of demineralised water sitting on the shelf in the shed left over from the coolant change I did on my fathers car, so that will now get put to good use :}
