whaaat? I never claimed these vapors were harmful to an engine, Tracy did. Why would I or anyone have to answer that but him?

The question was if you could prove that the vapours will not cause any ill effects to an engine after 20 years. Not prove that it will.

How do you prove nothing?

Do you really want to wait 20 years for me to tell you..nope, nothing happened. The question all along has been HOW do these harm an engine. The marketing material clearly says you will harm your engine by not running a can...ok HOW.

I wasn't asking it, just pointing out the misunderstanding.

I know. The misunderstanding comes from someone misunderstanding what is going on. Not you.

That must be why several high end performance cars come with one from the factory. Because those companies like wasting money on snake oil.
Understand the gray areas before you knock them all.

The old high end performance car angle. Should this be our benchmark?

[QUOTE=snobdds;3979795]How do you prove nothing?

That's the point. You don't know if it's nothing.

I don't know if the stuff will damage my engine or not in the long term and neither do you. I didn't know the answer to that when I bought the can. I bought it knowing there was no evidence backing the claim the stuff the can catches is harmful but, stupid me, I decided I wanted only gasoline and air going into my intake.

There is at least one other catch can manufacturer who markets strongly on this forum and his marketing material is no different in it's claims than RX's yet nobody has ever jumps on him. I have to wonder why not.

Further, it seems to me Tracy or whomever it is from RX that posted on this thread had pretty much laid off posting for quite some time. It was ITguy who started it up again on the first page of the thread by directly insulting Tracy. There was no need for it.

If you are so convinced RX is guilty of false advertising, report him to the Florida Attorney General and let them deal with it. Regardless, please, for the love of God stop berating him on thread after thread after thread when the word catch cans are brought up. All it does is start up this nonsense and, trust me, it is old to all of us.
